Inexact Graph Matching for Facial Feature Segmentation and Recognition in Video Sequences: Results on Face Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for the segmentation and recognition of facial features and face tracking in digital video sequences based on inexact graph matching. It extends a previous approach proposed for static images to video sequences by incorporating the temporal aspect that is inherent to such sequences. Facial features are represented by attributed relational graphs, in which vertices correspond to different feature regions and edges to relations between them. A reference model is used and the search for an optimal homomorphism between its corresponding graph and that of the current frame leads to the recognition.

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

Facial expressions are widely used in the behavioral interpretation of emotions, cognitive science, and social interactions. In this paper, we present a novel method for fully automatic facial expression recognition in facial image sequences. As the facial expression evolves over time facial landmarks are automatically tracked in consecutive video frames, using displacements based on elastic bu...
متن کاملA Method for Face Segmentation, Facial Feature Extraction and Tracking
An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic localization of faces or head andshoulder regions in visual scenes. The algorithms therefore should be computationally efficient and robust against distortions like varying lighting conditions. This paper describes a method for segmenting frontal head and shoulder views of ...

متن کاملInexact graph matching for model-based recognition: Evaluation and comparison of optimization algorithms
A method for segmentation and recognition of image structures based on graph homomorphisms is presented in this paper. It is a model-based recognition method where the input image is over-segmented and the obtained regions are represented by an attributed relational graph (ARG). This graph is then matched against a model graph thus accomplishing the model-based recognition task. This type of pr...
