ABSTRACT In conventional image-based feature detection a time consuming
pre-processing step is required to manually segment the training
features from the unsegmented face images. We present a novel method of
using automatically segmented facial image data for facial feature
detection. A quality measure is defined to identify those image data
from a large training set that are better to describe the feature. The
best quality subset is then extracted and used to train the feature
detector. The detection performance obtained by the automatically
segmented data set after refinement is almost as high as that obtained
by the feature detector trained by a manually segmented set
