In this paper we present a new approach for automatically segmentation and tracking of faces in color images. Segmentation of faces is performed by evaluating color and shape information. First, skin-like regions are determined based on the color attributes hue and saturation. Then regions with elliptical shape are selected as face hypotheses. They are verified by searching for facial features in their interior. After a face is reliably detected, it is tracked over time. Tracking is realized by using an active contour model. The exterior forces of the snake are defined based on color features. They push or pull snaxels perpendicular to the snake. Results for tracking are shown for an image sequence consisting of 150 frames.
