چکیده

Various computer vision problems and applications rely on an accurate, fast head pose estimator. We model head pose estimation as a regression problem. We show that it is possible to use the appearance of the facial image as a feature which depicts the pose variations. We use a parametrized Multi-Variate Relevance Vector Machine (MVRVM) to learn the three rotation angles of the face (yaw, pitch, and roll). The input of the MVRVM is normalized mean pixel intensities of the face patches, and the output is the three head rotation angles. We evaluated our approach on the challenging YouTube faces dataset. We achieved a head pose estimation with an average error tolerance of ±6.5◦ in the yaw rotation angle, and less than ±2.5◦ in both the pitch and roll angles. The time taken in one prediction is 2-3 milliseconds, hence suitable for real-time applications.

Sparse-MVRVMs Tree for Fast and Accurate Head Pose Estimation in the Wild

Head pose estimation is an important problem in the field of computer vision and facial analysis. We model the problem of head pose estimation as a regression problem, where the three rotation angles (yaw, pitch, roll) are functions of the face appearance. We make use of that fact and learn the appearance of the face using a tree cascade of sparse MultiVariate Relevance Vector Machines (MVRVM)....

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...

Active Face Tracking and Pose Estimation in anInteractive

We demonstrate real-time face tracking and pose estimation in an unconstrained ooce environment with an active foveated camera. Using vision routines previously implemented for an interactive environment, we determine the spatial location of a user's head and guide an active camera to obtain foveated images of the face. Faces are analyzed using a set of eigenspaces indexed over both pose and wo...

Multi-level structured hybrid forest for joint head detection and pose estimation

In real-world applications, factors such as illumination variation, occlusion, and poor image quality, etc. make head detection and pose estimation much more challenging. In this paper, we propose a multi-level structured hybrid forest (MSHF) for joint head detection and pose estimation. Our method extends the hybrid framework of classification and regression forests by introducing multi-level ...

Fusion of 2D Face Alignment and 3D Head Pose Estimation for Robust and Real-Time Performance

In order to perform coherent and robust interpretation of moving faces, one must resolve the inconsistency and ambiguities observed among multiple sources of highly noisy visual measurements. In this work, we describe a method for perceptual fusion through the estimation of observation covariance. We demonstrate the approach through a working system that performs real-time face detection and tr...
