Definition
Face detection and tracking are techniques for locating faces in images and video sequences; face recognition is a technique for identifying or verifying unknown people using a stored database of known faces.
Introduction
Human face processing techniques for broadcast video, including face detection, tracking, and recognition, has attracted a lot of research interest because of its value in various applications, such as video structuring, indexing, retrieval, and summarization. The main reason for this is that the human face provides rich information for spotting the appearance of certain people of interest, such as government leaders in news video, the pitcher in a baseball video, or a hero in a movie, and is the basis for interpreting facts.
Face processing techniques have several applications. For example, Name-It [1] aims to associate names and faces appearing in...
