Abstract
Motivated by human eye movement strategies a computer based ’attentional mechanism’ for processing face images is developed that comprises preattentive and attentive processing strategies. Both parts use a common filtering framework based on steerable filters. During the preattentive processing, prominent facial regions like the eye or the mouth region are localized. The selected regions are analyzed in more detail in the attentive processing step. A variety of complex features are derived applying an efficient filter method based on steerable filters.
