Automatic Face Location for Videophone Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel technique to automatically locate the face of a person in a videophone image. The proposed technique makes use of the intensity values of both luminance and chrominance components of the image. It detects face location by exploiting the distribution property of these components. The usefulness of face location information is also presented.

Precise Face Model Adaptation for Semantic Coding of Videophone Sequences
In this contribution, an algorithm for the automatic adaptation of a 3D face model for semantic coding of videophone sequences at very low bit rates is presented. After automatic estimation of facial features from an image sequence, the face model is adapted to the eyes, mouth, eyebrows, nose and to the chin and cheek contours of the person’s face in the sequence. Applying the presented algorit...
متن کاملA Robust Real Time Face Location Algorithm for Videophones
When videophone images are compressed to low bit rates (< 64 kbits/s) for transmission over telephone lines, the image quality deteriorates when there is a great deal of movement in the frame. If the coder has knowledge of the videophone user's location, this information can be used to enhance the area of interest (the user) at the expense of the unchanging and/or uninteresting background. It h...
متن کاملEstimation of the Mouth Features Using Deformable Templates
Automatic estimation of mouth features is one of the important topics for face recognition and model–based coding of videophone sequences. In this contribution, an automatic mouth feature estimation algorithm which uses deformable templates is developed. Here, the mouth features are represented by the corner points of the mouth as well as the so called lip outline parameters. The lip outline pa...
متن کاملAutomatic Adaptation of a Human Face Model for Model-Based Coding
For coding of videophone sequences at very low bit rates, model-based coding is investigated. In a model-based coder, the human face in the videophone sequence is described by a three-dimensional (3D) face model. At the beginning of the videophone sequence, the model has to be adapted automatically to the shape, position and orientation of the real face present in the scene. In this paper, a ne...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Location to Enhance Videophone Picture Quality
New video communication and multi-media products open up a range of machine vision applications, in which the potential size of the market can justify a substantial investment in the development of sophisticated algorithms. Face location can be used to enhance the subjective performance of videophones, while still conforming with international video compression standards. This paper gives an ov...
