Face Locating and Tracking for Human{Computer Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
E ective Human-to-Human communication involves both auditory and visual modalities, providing robustness and naturalness in realistic communication situations. Recent e orts at our lab are aimed at providing such multimodal capabilities for humanmachine communication. Most of the visual modalities require a stable image of a speaker's face. In this paper we propose a connectionist face tracker that manipulates camera orientation and zoom, to keep a person's face located at all times. The system operates in real time and can adapt rapidly to di erent lighting conditions, cameras and faces, making it robust against environmental variability. Extensions and integration of the system with a multimodal interface will be presented.

Inter-Classifier Feedback for Human-Robot Interaction in a Domestic Setting
For a mobile robot that interacts with humans such as a home assistant or a tour guide robot, activities such as locating objects, following specific people, and distinguishing among different people are fundamental, yet challenging robotic vision tasks. For complex object recognition and tracking tasks such as person recognition and tracking, we use the method of inter-classifier feedback to t...

The human face is central to our identity. It plays an essential role in everyday interaction, communication and other routine activities. Thus, face detection and tracking algorithms are of great importance for human-machine interaction. It is an extensively studied field and a large body of research has been done. This paper gives a a broad overview of basic principles and some representative...
متن کاملA Real-Time Head Tracker Supporting Human Computer Interaction
This paper describes a fast and completely automatic algorithm for human face tracking. The tracked face is represented by a weighted histogram. The current histogram is compared to histograms at the particles’ positions. The weight of each particle is determined on the basis of Bhattacharyya distance and intensity gradient along the ellipse’s boundary. The incorporation of information about th...
متن کاملHead and Face Detection at Indoor Environment by Home Robot
In this paper we describe a method for the detection and tracking of human’s head and face inside indoor environment by a home robot. In this system we use signal of infrared sensor and also data from CCD camera for locating the human. By using a combination of motion detection, shape analysis and color information we locate heads and faces of different size and orientation in video images. At ...
متن کاملTracking Human Faces in Real-Time
Many applications in human computer interaction (HCI) require tracking a human face. In this report, we address two important issues for tracking human faces in real-time: what to track and how to track. We present a stochastic model to characterize skin-colors of human faces. The information provided by the model is sufficient for tracking a human face in a various poses and views. The model c...
