Abstract

A real-time face tracking and facial information acquisition system developed for multimodal man-machine communication s presented in this paper. The sadism can track a human face and report mouth position and other facial information in real-time. A stochastic model to characterize the skin color distribution of human skin is used to transform the hue image of the HSI color space to a skin color probability distribution image. A modified mean shift algorithm is then applied to find the mode of the probability distribution, which estimates the face window. To make the system more robust, 1D projections of the intensity image in potential face windows are proposed to verify and adjust face location.
