Robust face detection against brightness fluctuation and size variation

چکیده
This paper proposes a novel face detection method intended to be used for practical intelligent environment and human-interactive robot. Face detection and recognition are very crucial for such applications. However, in the real situation, it is not easy to realize the robust detecting function because position, size, and brightness of face image are much changeable. The proposed method solves these problems by combining correlation-based pattern matching, histogram equalization, skin color extraction, and multiple scale images generation. The authors have implemented a prototype system based upon the proposed method and conducted some experiments using the system. Experimental results support effectiveness of the proposed idea.

Development of an awakening detection system with the NN and adaptation for fluctuation of brightness quantity in the captured image
In this paper, to increase the detection capability of this system, we adopt a face extractive method into the proposed system to execute more detail extraction of the objective person's image from the background. We show its feasibility with experimental results. In addition, to confirm the detection capability of the awakening detection system in the clinical site, the detection experiment us...
متن کاملFace Tracking in Video by Using Kalman Filter
Face Tracking has been one of the most studied topics in computer vision literature. Facial feature extraction has some problems which must be researched. Small variations of face size and orientation can affect the result of face tracking. Since the input image is captured from a surveillance camera, certain conditions have to be considered like different levels of brightness, shadows and clea...
متن کاملRobust Face Recognition using Local Illumination Normalization and Discriminant Feature Point Selection
Face recognition systems must be robust to the variation of various factors such as facial expression, illumination, head pose and aging. Especially, the robustness against illumination variation is one of the most important problems to be solved for the practical use of face recognition systems. Gabor wavelet is widely used in face detection and recognition because it gives the possibility to ...
متن کاملOn Face Tracking in Video Sequences
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...
