A method for robust human face tracking in the presence of multiple facial images includes taking a frame from a color video sequence as a current input image; filtering the current input image to form a filtered image; estimating the locations and sizes of faces in the filtered image based on a projection histogram of the filtered image; estimating face motion in the filtered image; and outputting the location and size of the tracked faces within the filtered image.
