In this paper an efficient face candidates selector is proposed for face detection tasks in still gray level images. The proposed method acts as a selective attentional mechanism. Eye-analogue segments at a given scale are discovered by finding regions which are roughly as large as real eyes and are darker than their neighborhoods. Then a pair of eye-analogue segments are hypothesized to be eye...

Enabling computer systems to track and recognize facial expressions and then infer emotions from about real time video is a challenging research topic. In this work, a real time approach to emotion recognition through facial expression in live video is introduced. Several automatic methods for face localization, facial feature tracker, and facial expression recognition are employed. A robust tr...

This paper presents an integrated system for face detection and tracking in video sequences. The system consists of two modules, namely face detection and face tracking. The automatic face detection is based on a non-holistic object detection approach that utilizes the appearance and the topology of facial components to robustly detect faces in images. Both statistical and structural pattern re...

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...

− Autostereoscopic display systems can provide users a natural 3-D visualization environment by projecting stereo video onto the user's eyes. Eye position localization is a central module in this kind of display system when users are allowed to move freely. This paper presents robust 3-D eye tracking techniques that can provide accurate eye positions in real time. Technical batteries comprise: ...

Traditional research and development in face detection and tracking are mostly focused on either face detection in still images, or face tracking in image streams, without remarkable combination of both. As a result, few impressive face detection and tracking systems can be seen nowadays. The paper contributes to effectively incorporation of two modules, detection module and tracking module, in...

Face detection and tracking are important in video content analysis since the most important objects in most video are human beings. This paper proposes a new approach for combined face detection and tracking in video. The face detection algorithm is a fast template matching procedure using iterative dynamic programming (DP)[l]. Although the face detection algorithm is designed for frontal face...

Automatically locating face areas can advance applications either in images or videos. This paper proposes a video-based approach for face detection and tracking in an indoor environment to determine where face areas appear in video sequences. Our approach involves four main modules: an initialization module for setting all configurations, a Condensation module for face tracking, a template mod...
