Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, apparatus, and manufacture for smiling face detection is provided. For each frame, a list of new smiling faces for the frame is generated by performing smiling face detection employing an object classifier that trained is to distinguish between smiling faces and all objects in the frame that are not smiling faces. For the first frame, the list of new smiling faces is employed as an input smiling face list for the next frame. For each frame after the first frame, a list of tracked smiles for the frame is generated by tracking smiling faces in the frame from the input smiling list for the frame. Further, a list of new smiling faces is generated for the next frame by combining the list of new smiling faces for the frame with the list of tracked smiles for the frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: generating a first list of new smiling faces for a first frame of a plurality of frames based on performing smiling face detection employing an object classifier that is trained to distinguish between smiling faces and objects in the first frame that are not smiling faces; employing the first list of new smiling faces from the first frame as a first input smiling face list for a second frame of the plurality of frames; generating a…
