چکیده
This paper describes a user detection system which employs a saliency system delivering a rough and fast estimate of the position of a potential user. This saliency system consists of a vision (skin color) and a sonar based component, which are combined to make the estimate more reliable. To make the skin color detection robust under varying illumination conditions, it is supplied with an automatic white balance algorithm. Finally, the hypothesis of the users position is verified with a highly specific face detector.
