This invention puts forward a method and a system for real time testing and continuous tracking of man-face in a video sequence including the following steps: carrying out a test algorithm to a man-face input video image, then applying a rough and fine two stages of test algorithm to verify the tested face, applying an object following algorithm to follow the verified one and verifying it by verifying the followed regions, which realizes a real time test to a positive and vertical man-face by a test method based on AdaBoost statistic hierarchical sorter and Mean shift and a square pattern property. |
