Abstract
This chapter describes a technique used to solve the problem of accurately locating the positions of eyes within a particular set of sixty images supplied by BT; half of the images could be used as training data, the other half as test data. The subjects in each image are at the same viewing distance, the faces are roughly in a vertical position, with a face in the centre of the frame looking forward with eyes open and directed at the camera.
