Eye Feature Extraction for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Screening

Abstract

Conventional screening for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in children involves time-consuming and intrusive facial measurements. We are developing an alternative method that will allow automatic measurement of the relevant points from a pair of stereo photographs. This paper describes a method for automatic eye extraction from such photographs using genetic algorithms to match eye templates to face images.
