Abstract

A facial tracking method is provided. The method includes: obtaining, from a video stream, an image that currently needs to be processed as a current image frame; and obtaining coordinates of facial key points in a previous image frame and a confidence level corresponding to the previous image frame. The method also includes calculating coordinates of facial key points in the current image frame according to the coordinates of the facial key points in the previous image frame when the confidence level is higher than a preset threshold; and performing multi-face recognition on the current image frame according to the coordinates of the facial key points in the current image frame. The method also includes calculating a confidence level of the coordinates of the facial key points in the current image frame, and returning to process a next frame until recognition on all image frames is completed.
