Segmentation and Tracking of Faces in Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach for automatically segmentation and tracking of faces in color images. Segmentation of faces is performed by evaluating color and shape information. First, skin-like regions are determined based on the color attributes hue and saturation. Then regions with elliptical shape are selected as face hypotheses. They are veriied by searching for facial features in their interior. After a face is reliably detected, it is tracked over time. Tracking is realized by using an active contour model. The exterior forces of the snake are deened based on color features. They push or pull snaxels perpendicular to the snake. Results for tracking are shown for an image sequence consisting of 150 frames.

In this report, survey on human face detection in color images and an implementation of automatic faces detection based on skin color and face features are presented. The color information in YCbCr color space is combined with the multiple features such as eyes and mouth, to detect faces in arbitrary color images. This implementation consists of four parts: a human skin segmentation to identify...
متن کاملMulti-Modal System for Locating Heads and Faces
We designed a modular system using a combination of shape analysis, color segmentation and motion information for locating reliably heads and faces of different sizes and orientations in complex images. The first of the system’s three channels does a shape analysis on gray-level images to determine the location of individual facial features as well as the outlines of heads. In the second channe...
متن کاملDetecting Human Faces in Color Images
We propose a new method to detect human faces in color images. A human skin color model is built to capture the chromatic properties based on multivariate statistical analysis. Given a color image, multiscale segmentation is used to generate homogeneous regions at multiple different scales. From the coarsest to the finest scale, regions of skin color are merged until the shape is approximately ...
