Head Pose Estimation from Passive Stereo Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algorithm to estimate the 3D pose (location and orientation) of a previously unseen face from low-quality range images. The algorithm generates many pose candidates from a signature to find the nose tip based on local shape, and then evaluates each candidate by computing an error function. Our algorithm incorporates 2D and 3D cues to make the system robust to low-quality range images acquired by passive stereo systems. It handles large pose variations (of ±90 ◦ yaw and ±45 ◦ pitch rotation) and facial variations due to expressions or accessories. For a maximally allowed error of 30◦, the system achieves an accuracy of 83.6%.

3D Hand Pose Tracking and Estimation Using Stereo Matching
3D hand pose tracking/estimation will be very important in the next generation of human-computer interaction. Most of the currently available algorithms rely on low-cost active depth sensors. However, these sensors can be easily interfered by other active sources and require relatively high power consumption. As a result, they are currently not suitable for outdoor environments and mobile devic...

Head pose estimation is an important task for many applications such as human-computer interaction and human action understanding since a person’s head direction has an important role in representing his/her intention. In this paper, we propose a real-time head pose estimation method with stereo vision, which does not stress users and is easily applied to a lot of users. We use the degree of th...
متن کاملJoint Object Pose Estimation and Shape Reconstruction in Urban Street Scenes Using 3D Shape Priors
Estimating the pose and 3D shape of a large variety of instances within an object class from stereo images is a challenging problem, especially in realistic conditions such as urban street scenes. We propose a novel approach for using compact shape manifolds of the shape within an object class for object segmentation, pose and shape estimation. Our method first detects objects and estimates the...
متن کاملHuman Pose Estimation in Stereo Images
In this paper, we address the problem of 3D human body pose estimation from depth images acquired by a stereo camera. Compared to the Kinect sensor, stereo cameras work outdoors having a much higher operational range, but produce noisier data. In order to deal with such data, we propose a framework for 3D human pose estimation that relies on random forests. The first contribution is a novel gri...
