Biometric Identification System using Lips

Reshmi M. P | V. J Arul Karthick

Abstract: Visual information from the lips can be an effective candidate for facial biometrics applications when other facial organs are covered. In this paper identity recognition is determined by this lip features. Initially face detection is done by a very powerful method known as Viola and Jone’s algorithm. To detect the lip contour, more gray scale characteristics from the lips are employed to resist the influences from various skin colors and environments. For capturing the features of the lips five various mouth corners are detected through the proposed system. These detected five points are used for further recognition purpose. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used for the recognition stage as it gives better recognition.
