On importance of nose for face tracking

Abstract: Human nose, while being in many cases the only facial feature clearly visible during the head motion, seems to be very undervalued in face tracking technology. This paper shows theoretically and by experiments conducted with ordinary USB cameras that, by properly defining nose -as an extremum of the 3D curvature of the nose surface, nose becomes the most robust feature which can be seen for almost any position of the head and which can be tracked very precisely even with low resolution cameras.

“…According to Gorodnichy the nose is the best facial feature to be tracked because it is clearly visible when the head is moving [13]. More precisely, the tip of the nose can often be approximated by a sphere.…”

“…Instead of recognizing every frame, only a set of key frames that are of good quality or suitable for recognition are selected based on several heuristics. Several approaches to select good quality frames were proposed including relative positions of eyes and nose [9], robust statistics to filter out noisy face images [10], etc. Once the key frames are identified for every track, majority voting schemes are used to finally label the entire video.…”
