Original Abstract

This paper deals with the proposal of robust system for face tracking in real time, where several techniques are used for face detection in each video frame. At the first, the initial face position is searched using modified Viola-Jones object detector, and after that the position is continuously updated using template matching algorithm, simple Viola-Jones detector, skin color mask and CamShift algorithm. The system allows tracking faces of any size with arbitrary head movement (translation, head rotation). Furthermore, it is computationally fast, thus an eventual face processing algorithm can be easily performed.
