대규모 비디오 감시 환경에서 프라이버시 보호를 위한다중 레벨 특징 기반 얼굴검출 방법에 관한 연구Face Detection Using Multi-level Features for Privacy Protection in Large-scale Surveillance Video
In video surveillance system, the exposure of a person’s face is a serious threat to personal privacy.
To protect the personal privacy in large amount of videos, an automatic face detection method is required to locate and mask the person’s face. However, in real-world surveillance videos, the effectiveness of existing face detection methods could deteriorate due to large variations in facial appearance (e.g., facial pose, illumination etc.) or degraded face (e.g., occluded face, low-resolution face etc.). This paper proposes a new face detection method based on multi-level facial features. In a video frame, different kinds of spatial features are independently extracted, and analyzed, which could complement each other in the aforementioned challenges. Temporal domain analysis is also exploited to consolidate the proposed method.
Experimental results show that, compared to competing methods, the proposed method is able to achieve very high recall rates while maintaining acceptable precision rates.
