FACE DETECTION AND TRACKING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for face detection and tracking using an image-based capture device, comprising:
- generating a depth image of a scene;
generating a mask image from the depth image;
detecting a position of a face of a user in the scene using the mask image;
determining an intensity of the face using a first color channel of the mask image; and
adjusting a gain level of a first color channel of the image-based capture device directed at the scene to achieve a target intensity of the face.

Abstract
Methods and systems for face detection and tracking using an image-based capture device are disclosed herein. The method includes generating a depth image of a scene, generating a mask image from the depth image, and detecting a position of a face of a user in the scene using the mask image. The method also includes determining an intensity of the face using a first color channel of the mask image and adjusting a gain level of a first color channel of the image-based capture device directed at the scene to achieve a target intensity of the face.

10. A face detection and tracking system, comprising:
-
an image-based capture device, comprising a camera component that generates a depth image and a color image of a scene; and a computing device in operative communication with the image-based capture device, wherein the computing device comprises a processor configured to; generate a mask image from the depth image and the color image; detect a position of a face of a user in the scene using the mask image; determine an intensity of the face using a green color channel of the mask image; and direct the image-based capture device to adjust a green gain level of the green color channel to achieve a target intensity of the face. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-volatile computer-readable storage media for storing computer readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions providing a face detection and tracking system when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer-readable instructions comprising code configured to:
-
detect a position of a face of a user within a capture area using a face detection module; adjust a gain level of a first color channel of an image-based capture device using a settings adjustment module to achieve a target intensity of the face; and adjust at least a second color channel gain level of the image-based capture device using the settings adjustment module to achieve a color balance of the face based on the target intensity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
