ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for tracking a face moving through multiple frames of a video sequence. A predicted position of a face in a video frame is obtained. Similarity matching for both a color model and an edge model are performed to derive correlation values for each about the predicted position. The correlation values are then combined to determine a best position and scale match to track a face in the video.
