Application of the background subtraction method and Viola-Jones algorithm for increasing the speed of face tracking in the personality recognition system

Abstract

Existing method of automatic tracking of moving objects in the video stream in real time is described in the paper in relation to the task of person's recognition from his face image. A method of face tracking in the video stream based on a combination of the background subtraction method and the Viola-Jones algorithm for the face area detection in the frame and reducing requirements for computing resources of person's recognition systems is proposed. Results of testing the proposed face tracking algorithm in the video stream are shown.
