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...

The problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. First, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. Second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . At last, the eye ce...

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...

this paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. this system can be used in multiple places. for example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. this system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. a...

This article contains a proposal for an automatic human face detection method, that tries to join several theories proposed by different authors. The method is based on detection of shape features (eye pairs) and skin color. The method assumes certain circumstances and constraints, respectively. Therefore it is not applicable universally. Given the constraints, it is effective enough for applic...
