Abstract

A face detection and tracking method of a robotic device. The method includes obtaining a video frame from a camera of the robotic device; performing a face detection process on the video frame to detect one or more faces in the video frame and, after the face detection process, identifying the detected one or more faces in the video frame. The method also includes performing a vision-based tracking process to track the identified one or more faces using a combination of a feature points tracker and a correlation tracker and, after the vision-based tracking process, performing a detection and tracking fusion process and providing desired target prediction of the identified one or more faces.
