Face boundary detection is one of the challenging task in the image processing. All the methods that you read taking a course using image processing will not help you in how to find out the boundaries of face -- from my own experience.
This post will be my continuation to my previous post. This post will really be very short.

I found a lot of articles regarding sanke algorithm in the web. I also found many of the example that discuss about finding the edge boundaries of insects, cell, DNA, molecules etc(source codes are also there ;) ). This post will just add a page in google that will help people finding the solution for detecting the face boudary using snake algorithm.

If you want to know about snake algorithm please go through this WIKI page. For the full source code of snake algorithm please refer here. Now all you have to do is give a face image as a input to the snake algorithm. Then select the probable face region in the input image. This face region will be Region Of Interest for the snake algorithm. Then set the required thresholds.As a output you will get a whole set of coordinates that bounds the face region. For all above process you will need ImageJ plugin that can be downloaded from here.

Snake algorithm really gives you a good result. For any confusion,Please don't get confused but rather let me know. :)

Happy Snake-ING!!
