چکیده

This paper presents a method for robustly tracking and estimating the face pose of a person using stereo vision. The method is invariant to identity and does not require previous training. A face model is automatically initialised and constructed on-line: a fixed point distribution is superposed over the face when it is frontal to the cameras, and several appropriate points close to those locations are chosen for tracking. Using the stereo correspondence of the cameras, the 3D coordinates of these points are extracted, and the 3D model is created. The 2D projections of the model points are tracked separately on the left and right images using SMAT. RANSAC and POSIT are used for 3D pose estimation. Head rotations up to ±45◦ are correctly estimated. The approach runs in real time. The purpose of this method is to serve as the basis of a driver monitoring system, and has been tested on sequences recorded in a moving car.

Face pose estimation with automatic 3D model creation in challenging scenarios

This paper proposes a new method to perform real-time face pose estimation for ±90 yaw rotations and under low light conditions. The algorithm works on the basis of a completely automatic and run-time incremental 3D face modelling. The model is initially made up upon a set of 3D points derived from stereo grey-scale images. As new areas of the subject face appear to the cameras, new 3D points a...

Looking at Faces: Detection, Tracking and Pose Estimation

Humans can effortlessly perceive faces, follow them over space and time, and decode their rich content, such as pose, identity and expression. However, despite many decades of research on automatic facial perception in areas like face detection, expression recognition, pose estimation and face recognition, and despite many successes, a complete solution remains elusive. Automatic facial percept...

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...

A Multiresolution 3D Morphable Face Model and Fitting Framework

3D Morphable Face Models are a powerful tool in computer vision. They consist of a PCA model of face shape and colour information and allow to reconstruct a 3D face from a single 2D image. 3D Morphable Face Models are used for 3D head pose estimation, face analysis, face recognition, and, more recently, facial landmark detection and tracking. However, they are not as widely used as 2D methods t...
