A Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to Detection of Human Face and Body for MPEG Video Compression

For some new multimedia applications using Mpeg-4 or Mpeg-7 video coding standards, it is important to find the main objects in a video frame. In this thesis, we propose a neuro-fuzzy modeling approach to the detection of human face and body. Firstly, a fuzzy clustering technique is performed to segment a video frame into clusters to generating several fuzzy rules. Secondly, chrominance and motion features are used to roughly classify the clusters into foreground and background, respectively. Finally, the fuzzy rules are refined by a fuzzy neural network, and the ambiguous regions between foreground and background are further distinguished by the fuzzy neural network. Our method improves the correctness of human face and body detection by getting training data more precisely. Besides, we can extract the VOs correctly even the VOs have no obvious motion in the video sequence.
