In this paper, we present a face segmentation architecture using fuzzy inference. The head of a talker and two key structural features of his face (eyes and mouth) are located based on temporal and spatial information extracted from a head-and-shoulder image sequence. The architecture is modular and the segmentation uses a coarse-to-fine fuzzy reasoning strategy implemented across a three-level multi-resolution image pyramid. Results illustrating the performance of the system are given
