In this paper, we propose the new face detection and tracking angorithm in sequential images which have complex background. In order to apply face deteciton algorithm efficently, we convert the conventional RGB coordiantes into CIE coordonates and make the input images insensitive to luminace. And human face shapes and colors are learned using ueural network's backpropagation. For variable face size, we make mosaic size of input images vary and get the face location with various size through neural network. Besides, in sequential images, we suggest face motion tracking algorithm through image substraction processing and thresholding. At this time, for accurate face tracking, we use the face location of previous. image. Finally, we verify the real-time applicability of the proposed algorithm by the simple simulation.
