Abstract

We present a novel eye localization method which can be used inface recognition applications. It is based on two SVM classifierswhich localize the eyes at different resolution levels exploitingthe Haar wavelet representation of the images. We present anextensive analysis of its performance on images of very differentpublic databases, showing very good results.
