Method and system for conducting real-time tracking on faces by monocular camera

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for conducting real-time tracking on faces by a monocular camera. The method comprises the steps that firstly, the camera is opened so as to search for whether the faces exist around the camera or not, images collected by the camera are transmitted to an image processor, the image processor calls an image processing program to conduct image compression, three AdaBoost cascade connection strong classifiers based on Haar characteristics are loaded on the image processing program, skin color detection is carried out on all the compressed images, a detected window is used for detecting the faces with multiple angles through the three AdaBoost cascade connection strong classifiers, after the faces are detected, real-time tracking is carried out on face targets, the difference between the central point coordinates of a face target area and the central point coordinates of the whole images is compared, the camera is adjusted to enable the central point coordinates of the face images to be approximately aligned with central point coordinates of the images, and real-time tracking on the faces is achieved. The method has the advantages that the tracking method is simple, the calculated amount is small in the tracking process, the hardware structure is simple, and real-time tracking of the face targets can be well achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of machine vision, and relates to a method and a system for real-time tracking of a human face by a monocular camera. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, the technology in the field of photography has also been continuously improved, such as the emergence of digital cameras, the continuous improvement of camera resolution, and the emergence of technologies such as automatic focus and distance adjustment, but these technologies still cannot avoid hand-held cameras. . So technicians thought of letting the camera lens rotate with the object to be photographed, or rotate according to people's wishes. For example, the Pixy color sensor that appeared on the market in recent years can enable the camera to follow a solid-color object of a specific color to rotate. When the solid-color object keeps moving, the camera can still keep the object within th...
