Aiming at the problem of face tracking under rapid moving process, a fast and robust tracking method is proposed. The possible position of face detected by the Camshift algorithm in the next frame is predicted by the square-root cubature Kalman filte (SCKF). Then, the localization and tracking of face are got frames by frames. The experimental results show that: the use of SCKF to solve the nonlinear effect caused by non-uniform motion of face and overcome the target loss problem of the linear Kalman algorithm. The proposed method greatly improves the tracking accuracy of face in the process of rapid movement.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce an interactive guide plate system by adopting a gaze-communicative stuffed-toy robot and a gaze-interactive display board. An attached stuffed-toy robot on the system naturally show anthropomorphic guidance corresponding to the user’s gaze orientation. The guidance is presented through gaze-communicative behaviors of the stuffed-toy robot using joint attention and eye-contact reactions to virtually express its own mind in conjunction with b) vocal guidance and c) projection on the guide plate. We adopted our image-based remote gaze-tracking method to detect the user’s gazing orientation. The results from both empirical studies by subjective / objective evaluations and observations of our demonstration experiments in a semipublic space show i) the total operation of the system, ii) the elicitation of user’s interest by gaze behaviors of the robot, and iii) the effectiveness of the gaze-communicative guide adopting the anthropomorphic robot.
