Abstract
A method of performing facial recognition and tracking of an image captured by an electronic device includes: utilizing a camera of the electronic device to capture an image including at least a face; displaying the image on a display screen of the electronic device; determining a degree of orientation of the electronic device; and adjusting an orientation of scanning lines used to scan the image for performing face detection so that the orientation of the scanning lines corresponds to the orientation of the electronic device.
