Abstract :
This paper proposed a multi-template ASM algorithm addressing facial feature points detection under nonlinear shape variation of facial images with various kinds of expression. By adding texture information, adopting asymmetric sampling strategy for the feature points on outer contour of face, building multiple templates and integrating local ASM and global ASM, experimental results show that the proposed multi-template ASM algorithm outperforms traditional single template ASM
