Tracking Facial Feature Points with Gabor Wavelets and Shape Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A feature-based approach to tracking rigid and non-rigid facial motion is described. Feature points are characterised using Gabor wavelets and can be individually tracked by phase-based displacement estimation. In order to achieve robust tracking a exible shape model is used to impose global constraints upon the local feature points and to constrain the tracker. While there are many applications in facial analysis, the approach can be used for tracking other textured objects.

متن کاملRobust 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...
متن کاملAnalysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
متن کاملTracking Facial Features using Gabor Wavelet Networks
This work presents a new method for automatic facial feature tracking in video sequences. In this method, a discrete face template is represented as a linear combination of continuous 2D odd-Gabor wavelet functions.The weights and 2D parameters (position, scale and orientation) of each wavelet are determined optimally so that the maximum of image information is preserved for a given number of w...
متن کاملRobust Facial Feature Localization Using Improved Active Shape Model and Gabor Filter
Face location under the environment of illumination chagne is a serious problem, in order to reduce illumination effect, in this paper, we propose a facial feature location method based on improved active shape model (IASM) and Gabor filter to reduce the intensity contrast and to enhance edge information. First, face images are preprocessed by the proposed illumination normalization method usin...
