چکیده

We describe a dynamic face tracking system based on an integrated motion-based object tracking and model-based face detection framework. The motion-based tracker focuses attention for the face detector whilst the latter aids the tracking process. The system produces segmented face sequences from complex scenes with poor viewing conditions in surveillance applications. We also investigate a Gabor wavelet transform as a representation scheme for capturing head rotations in depth. Principal components analysis was used to visualise the mani-folds described by pose changes. Qualitative results are given.

Facial tracking with head pose estimation in stereo vision

Facial tracking is a key step for face modeling, coding and animation. In this paper we present a robust method of facial tracking in stereo vision. We use an efficient representation of 3-D face motion, consisting of global head motion and local facial deformation. Stereo vision is utilized to measure 3-D coordinates of the face, the global and local motion parameters of the tracked face is so...

Robust facial feature tracking under varying face pose and facial expression

This paper presents a hierarchical multi-state pose-dependent approach for facial feature detection and tracking under varying facial expression and face pose. For effective and efficient representation of feature points, a hybrid representation that integrates Gabor wavelets and gray-level profiles is proposed. To model the spatial relations among feature points, a hierarchical statistical fac...

Model- and Exemplar-based Robust Head Pose Tracking Under Occlusion and Varying Expression

We present a modeland exemplar-based technique for head pose tracking. Because of the dynamic nature, it is not possible to represent face appearance by a single texture image. Instead, we sample the complex face appearance space by a few reference images (exemplars). By taking advantage of the rich geometric information of a 3D face model and the flexible representation provided by exemplars, ...

Multi-Pose Face Recognition And Tracking System

We propose a real time system for person detection, recognition and tracking using frontal and profile faces. The system integrates face detection, face recognition and tracking techniques. The face detection algorithm uses both frontal face and profile face detectors by extracting the ’Haar’ features and uses them in a cascade of boosted classifiers. The pose is determined from the face detect...

Face Detection and Tracking in a Video by Propagating Detection Probabilities

This paper presents a new probabilistic method for detecting and tracking multiple faces in a video sequence. The proposed method integrates the information of face probabilities provided by the detector and the temporal information provided by the tracker to produce a method superior to the available detection and tracking methods. The three novel contributions of the paper are: 1) Accumulatio...
