چکیده
A method for detecting human faces in color images is described that first separates skin regions from nonskin regions and then locates faces within skin regions. A chroma chart is prepared via a training process that contains the likelihoods of different colors representing the skin. Using the chroma chart, a color image is transformed into a gray scale image in such a way that the gray value at a pixel shows the likelihood of the pixel representing the skin. An obtained gray scale image is then segmented to skin and nonskin regions, and model faces representing frontand side-view faces are used in a template-matching process to detect faces within skin regions. The false-positive and false-negative errors of the proposed face-detection method on color images of size 300 × 220 and containing four or fewer faces are 0.04 or less. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

We introduce a new class of dithering methods called N-candidate methods. The main idea is that the output color is randomly chosen among several candidate colors so that the estimated color average would be preserved. The dithering process is pixelwise without any interaction with the neighboring pixels. The N-candidate methods are thus location invariant, which has two benefits: (1) the algor...

This paper provides a review on techniques for computing a three-dimensional model of a scene from a single moving camera, with unconstrained motion and unknown parameters. In the classical approach, called autocalibration or self-calibration, camera motion and parameters are recovered first, using rigidity; then structure is easily computed. Recently, new methods based on the idea of stratific...

The use of adaptive Gaussian mixtures to model the colour distributions of objects is described. These models are used to perform robust, real-time tracking under varying illumination, viewing geometry and camera parameters. Observed log-likelihood measurements were used to perform selective adaptation. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
