Automatic Eye Detection Using Fast Corner Detector of North East Indian (NEI) Face Images

This paper has focused on automatic detection eye over North-Eastern Indian (NEI) face database, which is recently developed and continually expanding in Biometric Laboratory of Tripura University (A Central University). For this purpose one of the well-known feature detection technique, called Fast Corner detector has been used. Then after image contrast stretching has been applied over the gray scale image to reduce the illumination effect. Finally, Fast Corner detector is applied over this modified image to discard the other detected points over face. To check the efficiency, the automatically detected eye location has been matched with manually detected eye location
