Abstract
The method of 3D sound realization using 2 speakers provides two advantages: cheap and easy to build. In the case, crosstalk between 2 speakers has to be eliminated. To calculate and remove the effect of the crosstalk it is essential to find a rotation angle of human head correctly. In the paper, we suggest an algorithm to find the head angle of 2 channel system. We first detect a face area of the given image using Haar-like feature. After that, the eve detection using pre-processor and morphology method. Finally, we calculate the face rotation angle with the face andi the eye location. As a result of the experiment on various face images, the proposed method improves the efficiency much better than the conventional methods.
