The invention discloses a
video tracking method based on face recognition. The method comprises the following steps: 1, when a teacher walks on a platform, a
monitoring system detects that the teacher walks on the platform and then a tracking
machine is triggered to get into a tracking mode; 2, the tracking
machine performs searching through acquired points of a marginal value of the color of an image, performs connection line
processing to the points and draws the outline of the head of the teacher through each connection line; 3, both the top of the head and the outline of the face of a person are found out through the connection lines and are matched with the
face model preset in the tracking
machine; 4, when the outline drawn by the connection lines is matched with the
face model preset in the tracking machine, assisting judgment of the
skin color of the face and the color of the hair is performed; if requirements are met, the judgment of a face is realized, and the teacher is tracked for shooting. The method can recognize the position of the head of the teacher according to the face recognition technology and performs shooting to the teacher through tracking, so that the close-up
record of the teacher is realized, video contents are enriched, and the video effect is optimized.
