Title:
EYE DETECTING DEVICE, EYE DETECTING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/069171
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An eye detecting device comprises an image input section (21) for acquiring a face
image, an eyelid edge labeling section (24) for detecting upper eyelid candidates and
lower eyelid candidates meeting predetermined conditions of the upper or lower
eyelids from the face image, and an eyelid judging section (27) for comparing combinations
of the upper and lower eyelid candidates and judging the combination of upper
and lower eyelid candidates whose relation most matches the predetermined condition
as the upper and lower eyelids. The eyelid edge labeling section (24) classifies
the upper and lower eyelid candidates according to the degree of matching the
horizontal and vertical edges calculated by an edge calculating section (23)
with the predetermined condition. A lower eyelid candidate evaluating section
(26) may be provided for excluding a lower eyelid candidate if it has at least one
horizontal edge in the horizontal direction of the lower eyelid candidate. A
lower eyelid candidate judging section (25) may also be provided for judging a
lower eyelid candidate having a vertical edge not meeting the predetermined condition
as a lower eyelid preliminary candidate.
