Finding Face Features

We describe a computer program which understands a greyscale image of a face well enough to locate individual face features such as eyes and mouth. The program has two distinct components: modules designed to locate particular face features, usually in a restricted area; and the overall control strategy which activates modules on the basis of the current solution state, and assesses and integrates the results of each module.
