Automatic location tracking of faces and facialfeatures in video

چکیده
The work reported in this paper addresses the issue of automatically tracking the faces and facial features of persons in head-and-shoulders video sequences. We propose two totally automatic algorithms which respectively perform the detection of head outlines and identify rectangular \eyes-nose-mouth" regions, both from downsampled binary thresholded edge images. Unlike ones that have been proposed recently, a priori assumptions regarding the nature and content of the sequences to code are minimal for our techniques , and the algorithms operate accurately and robustly, even in cases of signiicant head rotation or partial occlusion by moving objects.

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...
متن کاملAutomatic Tracking of Face Sequences in MPEG Video
Human faces are commonly found in video streams and provide useful information for video content analysis. This paper presents a robust face tracking system to extract multiple face sequences from MPEG video without human intervention. Specifically, a view-based DCT-domain face detection algorithm is first applied periodically to capture mostly frontal and slight slanting faces of variable size...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition Based on Anatomical Structure of Human Face
Automatic analysis of human facial expressions is one of the challenging problems in machine vision systems. It has many applications in human-computer interactions such as, social signal processing, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this paper, we develop a new method for automatic facial expression recognition based on facial muscle anatomy and hum...
متن کاملPedestrians Tracking in a Camera Network
With the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. Therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. Tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...
