Detection by Generalized Symmetry

The goal here is to develop an automatic method for locating facial features (eyes and mouth). The symmetry operator is a powerful tool for finding interesting points in arbitrary natural scenes without a priori knowledge of the world [127]. This method is robust even if the face isn't directly facing the camera, the position changes, or the background isn't uniform.
