This paper proposes a framework to track faces in image sequences in a video. The technique combines face detection through using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with target tracking through using a Kalman filter. The adjacent locations of the target point are predicted in a search window that reduces the number of image regions that are candidates for faces. Thus, the method can predict the objec...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for fully automatic detection and tracking of human heads and faces in video sequences. The proposed algorithm consists of two modules: a face detection module and a face tracking module. The Detection module, detects the face region and approximates it with an ellipse at the first frame using a modified version of AdaBoost cascaded classifier. The detec...

In the face recognition most researches has considered about face detection and identification or a face detection and tracking, but best of our knowledge very few researches has focused on the face detection, identification and tracking. The combination of these three mechanism are been used in many real time applications .Here we consider one of the application as theft detection in real time...

The need for empirical evaluation metrics and algorithms is well acknowledged in the field of computer vision. The process leads to precise insights to understanding current technological capabilities and also helps in measuring progress. Hence designing good and meaningful performance measures is very critical. In this paper, we propose two comprehensive measures, one each for detection and tr...

We present a multilevel system architecture for intelligent environments equipped with omnivideo arrays. In order to gain unobtrusive human awareness, real-time 3D human tracking as well as robust video-based face detection and tracking and face recognition algorithms are needed. We first propose a multiprimitive face detection and tracking loop to crop face videos as the front end of our face ...

Lumen Social Robot is a humanoid robot development with the purpose that it could be a good friend to all people. In this year, the Lumen Social Robot is being developed into a guide in the exhibition and in the seminar of the Final Exam of undergraduate and graduate students in Electrical Engineering ITB, named Electrical Engineering Days 2015. In order to be the guide in that occasion, Lumen ...

This master thesis deals with real-time algorithms and techniques for face detection and face tracking in videos. A new approach is presented where optical flow information is incorporated into the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm, allowing the algorithm to update the expected position of detected faces in the next frame. This continuity between video frames is not exploited by the original...
