Robust Face Localisation Using Motion, Colour & Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face detection is fundamental for several important applications, such as, face recognition and human-computer interaction. This paper details a novel hierarchical face detector which combines motion, colour and late fusion. Motion segmentation is employed to eliminate background clutter and to reduce the initial search space. Subsequently, skin segmentation is used to determine a candidate face. Five simple eye-detection algorithms are fused to robustly localise the eyes within the candidate. Fusion is beneficial because the large amount of variation within the face makes it difficult for any individual technique to perform well under all conditions. The resulting system is capable of localising faces from still images in real-time with an accuracy of 93.75%.

متن کاملActive Speaker Localisation and Tracking using Audio and Video
This thesis is concerned with the problem of tracking active speakers using audio and video data. Particular focus is placed on the task of tracking the current active speaker in a lecture room environment using multiple cameras and multiple microphones. A database of lecture recordings corresponding to this scenario from the European Integrated Project, Computers in the Human Interaction Loop ...
متن کاملModélisation de visage par fusion d’information couleur dans le cadre de la théorie de l’évidence et suivi par filtrage particulaire Robust face tracking using color fusion and particle filter
This paper describes a real time face detection and tracking system. The method consists in modelling the skin face by a pixel fusion process of three colour sources within the framework of the Demster-Shafer theory. The algorithm is composed of two phases. In a simple and fast initialising stage, the user selects successively on an image, a shadowy, an overexposed and a zone of mean intensity ...
متن کاملFusion of Perceptual Cues using Covariance Estimation
The paradigm of perceptual fusion provides robust solutions to computer vision problems. By combining the outputs of multiple vision modules, the assumptions and constraints of each module are factored out to result in a more robust system overall. The integration of different modules can be regarded as a form of data fusion. To this end, we propose a framework for fusing different information ...
متن کاملA hierarchical framework for face tracking using state vector fusion for compressed video
Faces usually are the most interesting objects in certain categories of video like home videos and news clips. In this paper a novel sensor fusion based face tracking system is presented that tracks faces in compressed video, and aids automatic video indexing. Tracking is done by fusing the measurements from three independent sensors – motion and colour based trackers (derived from [2]) and a f...
