Aggregated Facial Tracking in Video

摘要

A facial detecting system may analyze a video by traversing the video forwards and backwards to create tracks of a person within the video. After separating the video into shots, the frames of each shot may be analyzed using a face detector algorithm to produce some analyzed information for each frame. A facial track may be generated by grouping the faces detected and by traversing the sequence of frames forwards and backwards. Facial tracks may be joined together within a shot to generate a single track for a person's face within the shot, even when the tracks are discontinuous.
