Tracking and Recognition of Multiple Faces at Distances

The enhancement of images is an image processing method that highlights certain image information according to specific needs and, at the same time, weakens or removes unwanted information. In the field of computer and machine vision, haziness and fog lead to degradation of images using different degradation mechanisms, including contrast attenuation, blurring, and degradation of the pixels. This limits machine vision systems efficiency such as video monitoring, target tracking, and recognition. Different dark channel single image dehazing algorithms have been designed quickly and efficiently to address image hazing problems. These algorithms rely on the dark channel theory to estimate the atmospheric light which is a crucial dehazing parameter. In this paper, a review of image dehazing and enhancement has been presented.

Tracking And Recognition

In the globalized world, possessing good products may not be enough to reach potential clients unless creative marketing strategies are well delineated. In this context, public relations are also important when it comes to capture the client's attention, making the first contact between the clients and the company's products, while being persuasive enough to make them confident that the company has the right products to fit their needs. Three virtual public relations installations were purposed in this chapter, combining technology with a human like public relations ability, capable of interacting with potential clients located in front of the installation, at angles of up to 57º (degrees), 180º and 360º, respectively. From one to several Microsoft Kinects were used to develop the three interaction models, which allows tracking and recognition of users' gestures and positions (heat map), sound sources, voice commands and face and body extraction of the user interacting with the installation.
