Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method of realizing face-to-face interaction by view-based tracking between a human and a mobile robot. Although individuals can be recognized easily by observing frontal faces, it is difficult to do it from profiles of face. To cope with this problem, our mobile robot first finds face-like areas based upon the skin color distribution which is made from real image samples. Second, a facial pattern in the image is found and its direction relative to the robot is estimated in terms of the memorized views. Finally, the mobile robot moves to the front of the face according to the face direction while tracking the face by using visual feedback based upon active vision approach.
