This paper describes a method for the automatic location of facial features, such as eyes, nose and mouth, in image sequences using a neural network approach. It is shown that by modeling the feature sought as a structural assembly of micro-features, and by using a probabilistic interpretation of neural network outputs, it is possible to construct a location system that is more robust than a location system which uses the feature as a single entity. With this micro-feature approach, not only the position of the features can be found, but also the shape of the features.
