1. A device, comprising:

  • a communication module configured to receive image information;

    at least one processing module including a plurality of data processors, each of the plurality of data processors being configured to perform at least one of a face detection workload or face tracking workload on the image information based at least in part on a plurality of face size scales; and

    a face detection and tracking allocation module configured to;

    determine said plurality of face size scales, wherein each of said plurality of face size scales corresponds at least in part to a size of at least one detected face in a plurality of detected faces in said image information, relative to a size of another detected face of said plurality of detected faces; and

    balance performance of said face detection workload and said face tracking workload among the plurality of data processors at least in part by assigning different data processors of said plurality of data processors to different face size scales.
