Abstract: This paper presents an eye location algorithm based on skin color and template matching.First，a skin color model in YCbCr space is used for roughly locating regions of probable face.Then using average eye template，the authors implement template matching based on pyramid structure to locate the eye.Experimental results indicate that the algorithm largely improve the locating speed and accuracy with good illumination robustness.

Key words: eye location, skin color model, pyramid structure, template matching
