METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REAL-TIME FACE DETECTION USING STEREO VISION

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for real-time face detection using a stereo vision are provided to perform face detection in foreground including face pattern from whole video by stereo vision processor thereby widely reducing face detection processing time. CONSTITUTION: A vision processing unit(320) calculates distance information by usage of a plurality of images including face pattern. Based on the distance information, the vision processing unit divides foreground image including the face pattern and background image not including the face pattern. According to distance information, a face detection unit(330) adjusts video size of the foreground image. The face detection unit detects the face pattern from adjusted foreground image.
