Face detection and tracking using edge orientation information (Proceedings Paper)

An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic detection of faces or head-and-shoulder regions in visual scenes. The algorithms therefore should be computationally fast enough to allow an online detection and parallel processing of the detected objects. In this paper we describe our ongoing work on face detection using an approach that models the face appearance by edge orientation information. We will show that edge orientation is
