人脸识别技术可以应用于基于网络的身份认证，我们实现了基于WebCam的人脸识别与跟踪系统。本文以WebCam采集的视频流为数据源，截取视频流中的单帧图像，通过转换彩色空间、人脸肤色建模、后处理操作和人脸定位算法实现了人脸检测，并以此为基础实现了在视频流中对于人脸的跟踪。试验结果表明，我们所实现的人脸识别算法适用于近距离人脸的检测，可以应用于基于WebCam的身份认证。 -Face recognition can be applied to identity authentication on Internet, now we have realized face recognition and tracking system based on WebCam. This essay takes video flowing collected from WebCam as data source, and cuts off Single fr a me in video flowing. It has realized face detection through transforming colored space, complexion modeling, aftertreatment and face orient algorithms, and based on which the essay has realized face tracking in video flowing.The result of the test shows that the face detection algorithms we realized adapts to short distant face detection, and also can be used as identity authentication based on WebCam.
