It sounds like you need to look at Principal components analysis ?

doc princomp

google matlab Principal components analysis you'll find source code and web
pages on this

Well, The SECOND link shown under the above search is page full of matlab
code for face feature extraction:

http://www.cs.ait.ac.th/~mdailey/matlab/

If you just have ONE face, then this might not apply to your problem.

PCA is used if one has many images, and want to extract the most common or
prominant features of all the faces.

It sounds then may be you need to apply edge detection or something similar.

good luck

Thanks Chris. I am trying to do something similar. I need extracted features for analysis in a database. However until now most of the algorithms I have tried have given less than satisfatory results. Do you have suggestions on how I can extract and segment just the eyes and lips?

Thanks
radhika
