The paper presents an algorithm enabling a fully automatic detection of characteristic areas on thermograms containing patients' faces in a front projection. A resolution of problems occurring at the segmentation of face images, such as a change of position, orientation and scale, has been proposed. In addition, attempts to eliminate the effect of the background and of disturbances caused by the haircut and the hairline were made. The algorithm may be used to detect selected points and areas of a face or as a preliminary component in the face recognition, as a development of optical analysis methods or in the quantitative analysis of face on thermograms.
