Human eye localization using the modified Hough transform

The precise localization of parts of a human face such as mouth, nose or eyes is important for their image understanding and recognition. The developed successful computer method of eyes and eyelids localization using the modified Hough transform is presented in this paper. The efficiency of this method was tested on two publicly available face images databases and one private face images database with the location correctness better than 96% for a single eye or eyelid and 92% for eye and eyelid couples.
