Abstract :
In this paper, a simple and applied approach was presented, which can automatically locate pupils. On the basis of skin detection of human face, it combines such techniques as edge extraction and geometrical features to confirm the coarse eye regions with ways of gray integration projection, region combination and LAT to fix on the precise location of pupils. By using this method, one could attain the accurate localization of eyes in color images, so it is suitable for processing identification photos.
