Abstract
Robust tracking and segmentation of faces is a prerequisite for face analysis and recognition. In this paper, we describe an approach to this problem which is well suited to surveillance applications with poorly constrained viewing conditions. It integrates motion-based tracking with model-based face detection to produce segmented face sequences from complex scenes containing several people. The motion of moving image contours was estimated using temporal convolution and a temporally consistent list of moving objects was maintained. Objects were tracked using Kalman filters. Faces were detected using a neural network. The essence of the system is that the motion tracker is able to focus attention for a face detection network whilst the latter is used to aid the tracking process.Keywords
