ABSTRACT

Conventional screening for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in children involves time-consuming and intrusive facial distance measurements. We are developing an alternative method that will allow automatic measurement of the relevant distances from a pair of stereo photographs. This paper describes a method for automatic extraction from such photographs of the points on the eyes used in the distance measurements, using peak and valley maps of face images.
