	abstract =	{A model-based methodology is proposed to detect facial
	features from a front-view ID-type picture. The system is composed of
	three modules: context (i.e. face location), eye, and mouth. The
	context module is a low resolution module which defines a face template
	in terms of intensity valley regions. The valley regions are detected
	using morphological filtering and 8-connected blob coloring. The
	objective is to generate a list of hypothesized face locations ranked
	by likelihood. The detailed analysis is left for the high resolution
	eye and mouth modules.  The aim for both is to confirm as well as
	refine the locations and shapes of their respective features of
	interest. The detection is done via a two-step modelling approach based
	on the Hough transform and the deformable template technique. The
	results show that facial features can be located very quickly with
	Adequate or better fit in over 80\% of the images with the proposed
	system.},
