Abstract

In this article, we describe a visual component able to detect and track a human face in video streaming. This component is integrated into an embodied conversational agent. Depending on the presence or absence of a user in front of the camera and the orientation of his head, the system begins, continues, resumes or closes the interaction. Several constraints have been taken into account: a simple webcam, a low error rate and a minimum computing time that permits the whole system to run on a simple pc.
