This study propose a system of extracting and tracking objects for a multimedia system and addresses how to extract the head feature from an object area. It is observed in images taken from real-time records like a video, there is always a variance in human behavior, such as the position, size, etc. of the person being tracked or recorded. This study discusses how to extract and track multiple objects based on context as opposed to a single object. Via cascade extraction, the proposed system allows tracking of more than one human at a time. For this process, an extraction method based on internal and external contexts, which defines features to distinguish a human, is proposed. The proposed method defines shapes of shoulder and head area to recognize the head-shape of a human, and creates an extractor according to its edge information and geometrical shapes context. In this paper, humans in images are extracted and recognized using contexts and profiles. The proposed method is compared with a single face detector system and it shows better performance in terms of precision and speed. This trace information can be applied in safety care system. Extractions can be improved by validating the image using a context based detector when there are duplicated images.
