With advances in computing and telecommunications technologies, digital images and video are playing key roles in the present information era. Human face is an important biometric object in image and video databases of surveillance systems. Detecting and locating human faces and facial features in an image or image sequence are important tasks in dynamic environments, such as videos, where noise conditions, illuminations, locations of subjects and pose can vary significantly from frame to

The feature extraction process is performed in the support region which is determined by the fuzzy rules to detect face in an image frame. Then, the consecutive frames from a video and their corresponding optical flow are estimated, which are used for tracking face in the video sequence. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
