%0 Journal Article %T A Study on Human Eye Detection in a Color Image Based on Harris Corner Detector and Sobel Edge Operator %A Dibyendu Ghoshal %A Alak Das %J International Journal of Electronics Communication and Computer Technology %D 2012 %I Nexus2world Publication %X A study is made to detect human eye from a color face image (in RGB space) using Harris corner detector and Sobel edge operator. Morphological operation like dilation and erosion are also applied to make the edge of the eyes sharp and prominent. This study is found to yield 90.47% eye detection rate which is comparable with the same obtained by other standard algorithm. %K RGB color image %K human eye detection %K Harris corner detection %K Sobel edge operator %K morphological operator %U http://www.ijecct.org/v2n3/11.pdf
