Abstract

얼굴 인식 시스템과 표정인식 시스템과 같은 고차원 처리를 수행하는 시스템의 전처리 과정으로써 이미지 영역 내에서 얼굴을 추적하는 것은 중요한 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 피부색과 얼굴의 형태 정보를 단서로 하는 CONDENSATION 알고리즘을 사용하여 얼굴의 위치를 추적하였다. 컬러의 가중치와 형태의 가중치를 결합시키는데 어려움이 있으므로 각각을 단서로 사용하는 두 개의 추적기를 가진 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 복잡한 배경, 피부색의 물체가 이미지 내에 존재하는 경우, 다른 얼굴이 이미지 내에 존재하는 경우 모두에 대해서 훌륭한 성능을 보여 주었다. In this paper, we propose a robust face tracking algorithm. It is based on Condensation algorithm [7] and uses skin color and facial shape as the observation measure. It is hard to integrate color weight and shape weight. So we propose the method that has two separate trackers which uses skin color and facial shape as the observation measure respectively. One tracker tracks skin colored region and the other tracks facial shape. We used importance sampling technique to limit sampling region of two trackers. For skin-colored region tracker, we propose an adaptive color model to avoid the effect of illumination change. The proposed face tracker performs robustly in clutter background and in the illumination changes.
