چکیده

This paper presents an algorithm for the classification of head pose in low resolution video. Invariance to skin, hair and background colours is achieved by classifying using an ensemble of randomised ferns which have been trained on labelled images. The ferns are used to simultaneously classify the head pose and to identify the most likely hypothesis for the mapping between colours and labels. Results from video sequences demonstrate that an improved posterior estimation using learnt colour distributions reduces classification error and provides accurate pose information in images where the head occupies as little as 10 pixels square.

3D Head Pose Estimation with Symmetry Based Illumination Model in Low Resolution Video

A head pose estimation system is described, which uses low resolution video sequences to determine the orientation and position of a head with respect to a internally calibrated camera. The system employs a feature based approach to roughly estimate the head pose and an approach using a symmetry based illumination model to refine the head pose independent of the users albedo and illumination in...

Achieving robust face recognition from video by combining a weak photometric model and a learnt generic face invariant

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 ...

Estimating Gaze Direction from Low-Resolution Faces in Video

In this paper we describe a new method for automatically estimating where a person is looking in images where the head is typically in the range 20 to 40 pixels high. We use a feature vector based on skin detection to estimate the orientation of the head, which is discretised into 8 different orientations, relative to the camera. A fast sampling method returns a distribution over previously-see...

HeadLock: Wide-Range Head Pose Estimation for Low Resolution Video

This thesis focuses on data mining technologies to extract head pose information from low resolution video recordings. Head pose, as an approximation of gaze direction, is a key indicator of human behavior and interaction. Extracting head pose information from video recordings is a labor intensive endeavor that severely limits the feasibility of using large video corpora to perform tasks that r...

Head Pose Classification in Crowded Scenes

Human head pose and gaze directions have traditionally been studied for expression and face recognition, and human computer interaction [6]. Accurate estimations of either head or gaze direction can provide useful information for the inference of a person’s intent and behaviour. However, most existing techniques rely upon medium to high resolution images captured under well controlled condition...
