OBJECTIVE
Detection of multiple faces from a still image. Creating a mask in order to fit on the face. Detection and features tracking of single face from video. Detection and features tracking of multiple faces from video.

MOTIVATION
The wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications. The availability of feasible technologies for research and projects. Current systems are still far away from the capability to cope up with real time applications.

DIFFICULTIES
Face Variation Face position Wearing glasses Low resolution images

INTRODUCTION
Face detection It is the task of localizing faces in an input image, is a fundamental part of any face processing system. The extracted faces can then be used for initializing face tracking or automatic face recognition.

 Face feature tracking It is the process of locating a moving face or several of them over a period of time and then locating facial features like eyes, nose and mouth.

LIMITATIONS
Due to bad lighting condition, tracking is sometimes not possible. Due to partially covered faces, tracking is not possible. Fully rotated faces are not possible to track.

CONCLUSION
We proposed a modified method for automatic fitting of a deformable face mask to a previous unseen face. By making mask we are able to fit this mask to different input images and video. The face model is built with the high and low image resolution. Successful implementation on multiple faces.

FUTURE SCOPE
Work can be done to link the project with database for security purposes. Further processing can be done for rotated faces. Further processing can be done for blurred images and videos.
