Affine real-time face tracking using gabor wavelet networks

Krüger, Volker LU orcid ; Happe, Alexander and Sommer, Gerald (2000) In Proceedings-International Conference on Pattern Recognition 15(1). p.127-130
Abstract

In this article we present a method for visual face tracking that is based on a wavelet representation of a face template. The wavelet representation allows arbitrary affine deformations of the facial image, it allows to generalize from an individual face template to a rather general face template and it allows to adapt the computational needs of the tracking algorithm to the computational resources available. The method presented was implemented on a Linux Pentium 450 MHz and runs off-line with 25 Hz and on-line, using an active camera mount, with 22 Hz. We present experimentals results on off-line tests on several common image sequences including the salesman-sequence as well as on on-line tests.
