We proposed a method for locating of mouth using deformable templates, described by a parameterized template. An energy function is defined which links, edges, peaks, valleys in image intensity to corresponding properties of the template. The template deforms itself by altering its parameter values to minimize the energy function. The minimized energy function's parameter values can be used as descriptors for the feature. We propose a method for locating mouth fast, accurately by limiting a range of parameters' value and getting initial value of parameters' by preprocessing.

The vibrations problem of thin orthotropic skew plates of linearly varying thickness is analyzed using the small deflection theory of plates. Using dimensionless oblique coordinates, the deflection surface can be expressed as a polyonmial series satisfying the boundary conditions. For orthotropic plates which is clamped on all the four edges, numerical results for the first two natural frequencies are presented for various combinations of aspect ratio, skew angle and taper parameter. The properties of material used are one directional glass fibre reinforced plastic GFRP. The results obtained may be summarised as follows: 1. In case of the first mode vibration of plates with increase in the skew angle, the natural frequencies of plates decrease. 2. As the aspect ratio decrease, the natural frequencies of plates decrease. 3. For the identical skew angle, natural frequencies of plates increase with the taper parameter of thickness.
