Skin Color Feature ‧ ‧ ‧ Mask
Integration of Features • Hand Detection: skin depth (stretch ahead) X-projection (stretch laterally)
CAMShift • Like mean-shift • 1. Back projection • Choose an object → probability map → back projection • 2.Mean-shift(frame-frame)
Refined CAMShift Tracking • Probability map: • Weights: • s1 : depth mask • s2 : x-mask skin depth (stretch ahead) X-projection (stretch laterally) blob size < threshold otherwise
Refined CAMShiftTracking • Ecliptic shape representation Aspect ratio: Search window for the next frame:
Refined CAMShiftTracking • Blob refinement 1. Choose proper reference line 2. 3. Reduce the lof the ellipse, untilla proper aspect ratio l/wis obtained.
Refined CAMShiftTracking • Aspect ratio based blob refinement
Detection + Tracking • Tracking fast movement
Detection + Tracking • Face & Hand
