Face Detecion, Tracking and Facial Feature Localization

Face detection and tracking is an important initial step to many computer vision applications like face and facial expression recognition, human-computer interaction(HCI), virtual avatars.
I've developed tools to accomplish this task from the beginning step of face detection to the last step ending at face expression estimation.
Below clips are just sample demos:

1) Original audiovisual clip




2)Face Detection and Tracking



3)Facial Feature Localization



The face is detected as a patch containing RGB color values similar to thث natural human skin. tracking is done by Hager's region tracking algorithm. The RST motion is only considered in this project. The tracked face patch is normalized in size and orientation so that patch size is the same throughout the frames and the face is vertically oriented.
I'm seeking for guidelines and regulations to pack and publish the source code of this project.
