Real Time Head Pose Estimation from Consumer Depth Cameras

چکیده
We present a system for estimating location and orientation of a person’s head, from depth data acquired by a low quality device. Our approach is based on discriminative random regression forests: ensembles of random trees trained by splitting each node so as to simultaneously reduce the entropy of the class labels distribution and the variance of the head position and orientation. We evaluate three different approaches to jointly take classification and regression performance into account during training. For evaluation, we acquired a new dataset and propose a method for its automatic annotation.

Real-time Head Pose Estimation Using Depth Map for Avatar Control
In this paper, we propose a system to estimate head poses only using depth information in real-time, thus does not even need illumination. We first track the user’s nose, and sample an amount of 3D points around the nose. Then we use a plane to fit the point cloud by least square error method, and the normal vector of the plane yields yaw and pitch angles of the user’s head orientation. On the ...
متن کاملFace-from-Depth for Head Pose Estimation on Depth Images
Depth cameras allow to setup reliable solutions for people monitoring and behavior understanding, specially when unstable or poor illumination conditions make unusable common RGB sensors. Therefore, we propose a complete framework for the estimation of the head and shoulder pose based on depth images only. A head detection and localization module is also included, in order to develop a complete...
متن کاملKey Developments in Human Pose Estimation for Kinect
The last few years have seen a surge in the development of natural user interfaces. These interfaces do not require devices such as keyboards and mice that have been the dominant modes of interaction over the last few decades. An important milestone in the progress of natural user interfaces was the recent launch of Kinect with its unique ability to reliably estimate the pose of the human user ...
متن کاملAbsolute Head Pose Estimation From Overhead Wide-Angle Cameras
Most surveillance cameras have a wide-angle field of view and are situated unobtrusively in overhead positions. For this type of application, head pose estimation is very challenging because of the limitations of the quality and resolution of the incoming data. In addition, as a person moves, their pose relative to the camera changes, but the desired pose is the absolute pose with respect to th...
متن کاملMouse Pose Estimation From Depth Images
We focus on the challenging problem of efficient mouse 3D pose estimation based on static images, and especially single depth images. We introduce an approach to discriminatively train the split nodes of trees in random forest to improve their performance on estimation of 3D joint positions of mouse. Our algorithm is capable of working with different types of rodents and with different types of...
