    摘要: Improvements are provided to effectively assess a user's face and head pose such that a computer or like device can track the user's attention towards a display device(s). Then the region of the display or graphical user interface that the user is turned towards can be automatically selected without requiring the user to provide further inputs. A frontal face detector is applied to detect the user's frontal face and then key facial points such as left/right eye center, left/right mouth corner, nose tip, etc., are detected by component detectors. The system then tracks the user's head by an image tracker and determines yaw, tilt and roll angle and other pose information of the user's head through a coarse to fine process according to key facial points and/or confidence outputs by pose estimator.

    摘要: Face detection techniques are provided that use a multiple-stage face detection algorithm. An exemplary three-stage algorithm includes a first stage that applies linear-filtering to enhance detection performance by removing many non-face-like portions within an image, a second stage that uses a boosting chain that is adopted to combine boosting classifiers within a hierarchy “chain” structure, and a third stage that performs post-filtering using image pre-processing, SVM-filtering and color-filtering to refine the final face detection prediction. In certain further implementations, the face detection techniques include a two-level hierarchy in-plane pose estimator to provide a rapid multi-view face detector that further improves the accuracy and robustness of face detection.

    摘要: In one aspect, the present disclosure describes a process for automatic artifact compensation in a digital representation of an image. The process includes detecting, by a processor, regions corresponding to facial images within the digital representation; locating, by the processor, red-eye regions within the detected regions; and automatically modifying, by the processor, the located red-eye regions to provide a modified image.

    摘要: Systems and methods for indexing and retrieving images are described herein. The systems and methods analyze an image to determine its texture moments. The pixels of the image are converted to gray scale. Textural attributes of the pixels are determined. The textural attributes are associated with the local texture of the pixels and are derived from coefficients of Discrete Fourier Transform associated with the pixels. Statistical values associated with the textural attributes of the pixels are calculated. The texture moments of the image are determined from the statistical value.

    摘要: Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for use in face detection. The methods and apparatuses significantly reduce the number of candidate windows within a digital image that need to be processed using more complex and/or time consuming face detection algorithms. The improved methods and apparatuses include a skin color filter and an adaptive non-face skipping scheme.
