Head Pose Determination from One Image Using a Generic Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method for determining the pose of a human head from its 2D image. It does not use any artificial markers put on a face. The basic idea is to use a generic model of a human head, which accounts for variation in shape and facial expression. Particularly, a set of 3D curves are used to model the contours of eyes, lips, and eyebrows. A technique called Iterative Closest Curve matching (ICC) is proposed, which aims at recovering the pose by iteratively minimizing the distances between the projected model curves and their closest image curves. Because curves contain richer information (such as curvature and length) than points, ICC is both more robust and more efficient than the well-known iterative closest point matching techniques (ICP). Furthermore, the image can be taken by a camera with unknown internal parameters, which can be recovered by our technique thanks to the 3D model. Preliminary experiments show that the proposed technique is promising and that an accurate pose estimate can be obtained from just one image with a generic head model.

In video surveillance, the viewing angle of face with respect to camera, called angular occlusion (also referred to as head pose) will limit system’s ability in face recognition. In this paper, a method for angular occlusion elimination in face images is proposed, which is based on image morphing. The proposed method models a frontal face from a batch of images with different head poses b...
متن کاملData Clustring Using A New CGA(Chaotic-Generic Algorithm) Approach
Clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. The members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. The genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. One of these applications is the clustering of images. The problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...

متن کاملHead Pose Determination Using Synthetic Images
In this paper, we propose a new approach to determine the head pose which is a very important issue in several new applications. Our method consists of building a synthetic image database for a dense set of pose parameter values. This can be done with only one real image of the face using the Candide-3 model. To determine the pose, we compare each synthesized face image to the current image usi...
متن کاملFace Recognition from Video Using the Generic Shape-Illumination Manifold
In spite of over two decades of intense research, illumination and pose invariance remain prohibitively challenging aspects of face recognition for most practical applications. The objective of this work is to recognize faces using video sequences both for training and recognition input, in a realistic, unconstrained setup in which lighting, pose and user motion pattern have a wide variability ...
