Abstract

To be efficient outdoors, automated video surveillance systems should recognize and monitor humans activities under various amounts of light. In this paper, we present a human face tracking system that is based on the classification of the skin pixels using colour and texture properties. The originality of this work concerns the use of a specific dynamical classifier. An incremental svm algorithm equipped with dynamic learning and unlearning rules, is designed to track the variation of the skin-pixels distribution. This adaptive skin classification system is able to detect and track a face in large lighting condition variations.
