<![CDATA[Facial feature extraction is the process of searching for features of facial components such as eyes, nose, mouth and other parts of human facial features. Facial feature extraction is essential for initializing processing techniques such as face tracking, facial expression recognition or face shape recognition. Among all facial features, eye area detection is important because of the detection and localization of the eye. The location of all other facial features can be identified. This study describes automated algorithms for feature extraction of eyes and mouth. The data takes form of video, then converted into a sequence of images through frame extraction process. From the sequence of images, feature extraction is based on the morphology of the eyes and mouth using Neural Network Backpropagation method. After feature extraction of the eye and mouth is completed, the result of the feature extraction will later be used to detect a person’s drowsiness, being useful for other research.]]>
