چکیده

We present a hierarchical graphical model to probabilistically estimate head pose angles from real-world videos, that leverages the temporal pose information over video frames. The proposed model employs a number of complementary facial features, and performs feature level, probabilistic classifier level and temporal level fusion. Extensive experiments are performed to analyze the pose estimation performance for different combination of features, different levels of the proposed hierarchical model and for different face databases. Experiments show that the proposed head pose model improves on the current state-of-the-art for the unconstrained McGillFaces [10] and the constrained CMU Multi-PIE [14] databases, increasing the pose classification accuracy compared to the current top performing method by 19.38% and 19.89%, respectively.

Hierarchical Approach for Articulated 3D Pose-Estimation and Tracking

In the recent years we presented a number of methods for a fully automatic pose estimation [5, 7] and tracking [6] of human bodies in 2D [5] and 3D [6]. Initialization and failure recovery in these methods are facilitated by the use of loose-limbed body model [7] in which limbs are connected via learned probabilistic constraints. The pose estimation and tracking can then be formulated as an inf...

Simultaneous Estimation of Head Pose and Shape by Hierarchical Control System

The present paper proposes a simultaneous estimation of both human head pose and shape. When head pose is estimated for a generic face model, a considerable estimation error is generated by the shape difference between the model and the target face. In the proposed framework, a specific face model is gradually created for the target face by deforming the generic model based on an error analysis...

Head Pose Estimation in Seminar Room Using Multi View Face Detectors

Head pose estimation in low resolution is a challenge problem. Traditional pose estimation algorithms, which assume faces have been well aligned before pose estimation, would face much difficulty in this situation, since face alignment itself does not work well in this low resolution scenario. In this paper, we propose to estimate head pose using viewbased multi-view face detectors directly. Na...
