Abstract

A method for identifying facial features comprises following steps: An image tracing step is performed to receive video data of a plurality of face images and to obtain a real-time background image from the video data by a video tracing technique. A data calculating step is performed to calculate a video data difference between a current face image and the real-time background image. A process setting step is performed to set an iteration number according to the video data difference. A coordinate requesting step is performed to obtain facial feature coordinates of a previous face image, the previous one of the current face image, serving as initial facial feature coordinates. A localization step is performed to obtain current facial feature coordinates of the current image by conducting an iterative calculation according to the iteration number and based on the initial facial feature coordinates.
