Preparation of the Face Images in a Video Stream for Recognition and Filtering of Non-Informative Images

Abstract:

There have been specified the principal tasks of the image preparation for the face recognition and criteria of the image quality evaluation. There has been proposed a method of the face tracking in a video stream, a search criterion of the similar images formulated and the current estimators of the contrasting effect and image sharpness analyzed. The method of lighting compensation and the angle control method on the basis of POSIT algorithm have been studied.
