  • ABSTRACT This paper presents a new lip detection method based-on normalized RGB chromaticity diagram. The method consists of three stages: face detection, lip region localization and lip detection. The popular Viola-Jones face detection technique is employed in the face detection stage. In the lip detection stage, lip color is extracted using our novel color segmentation method that exploits the distribution of lip color on the RGB chromaticity diagram. From the experiment using 100 face images, the detection rate of 97% is achieved. Keywords: Face detection, lip detection, color segmentation, chromaticity diagram.
