Original Abstract

The article presents a method for real-time tracking of face in video sequences. Algorithms for face detection are often very time-consuming and there are problems with their performance in real-time processing of video sequences or video streams. The algorithm presented in the article solves this problem using the optical flow technique. Face detection can be performed in a longer interval (in the order of hundreds of milliseconds) than the FPS of a given video sequence is performed. A special functionality for the evaluation of partial movements in the area of the face being tracked has been developed. The part of the article focused on testing the algorithm shows a high reduction of computation time with the high-accuracy determination of the face position preserved even in frames where the face detection algorithm was not applied.
