Abstract :
A real-time system is described for automatic detection and tracking of multiple persons, in the context of video-conferencing systems. This system, called MULTRAK (multiperson locating and tracking automatic kernel) is able to continuously detect and track the position of faces in its field of view. The heart of the system as a modular neural network based face detector, giving fast and accurate face detection
