1. A system for detecting an eye, said system comprising: a video imaging camera oriented to generate images of a face of a subject; and a video processor for processing the images generated with the video imaging camera, said video processor comprising a salient feature detector for detecting potential eye candidates and filters for filtering the potential eye candidates based on appearance, spatial-geometrical constraint, and physiological skin property, said video processor further comprising weighting logic for weighting each potential candidate based on the appearance, spatial-geometrical constraint, and physiological skin property and generating a weighted value for each potential eye candidate, said video processor further comprising detecting logic for detecting an eye based on the weighted value of each eye candidate.
