Real-Time Face Detection and Tracking for High Resolution Smart Camera System

An ICSC Model for Detecting Human Skin in JPEG Images

“…The process of utilizing skin color information as a cue in skin detection has gained much attention because skin color provides computationally effective yet, robust information against rotations, scaling and partial occlusions [2]. Skin color detection is prim arily an important process in applications such as face detection [3][4][5], gesture analysis [6], Internet pornographic image filtering [7], surveillance systems [8][9][10][11][12]. In order to make use of skin color information, many researches have been directed to understanding its characte ristics.…”

Real-time acquisition of high quality face sequences from an active pan-tilt-zoom camera

“…An appearance-based approach to real-time face detection from video frames was proposed in [8] which merely work in real-time in VGA resolution images. For real-time face detection in high resolution image frames, Mustafah et al proposed two high resolution (5 MP) smart camera-based systems by extending the works of [9][10]. Cheng et al also proposed a face detection method in high resolution imagery by employing a grid sampling and a skin color based approach [11].…”

Real-Time Group Face-Detection for an Intelligent Class-Attendance System

“…Using a high resolution smart camera as a tool to extract faces that are suitable for face recognition would reduce the computational load on the main processing unit. This processing unit would not be overloaded by high data rates required for high resolution video and could be designed solely for face recognition [20]. Mustafah et al, 2007 [20] reported on a multiple-stage face detection and tracking system that is designed for implementation on the NICTA high resolution (5 MP) smart camera.…”
