Smooth Multi-Manifold Embedding for Robust Identity-Independent Head Pose Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper,wepropose a supervised SmoothMulti-Manifold Embedding (SMME) method for robust identity-independent head pose estimation. In order to handle the appearance variations caused by identity, we consider the pose data space as multiple manifolds in which each manifold characterizes the underlying subspace of subjects with similar appearance. We then propose a novel embedding criterion to learn each manifold from the exemplar-centered local structure of subjects. The experiment results on the standard databases demonstrates that the SMME is robust to variations of identities and achieves high pose estimation accuracy.

Head Pose Estimation Based on Manifold Embedding and Distance Metric Learning
In this paper, we propose an embedding method to seek an optimal low-dimensional manifold describing the intrinsical pose variations and to provide an identity-independent head pose estimator. In order to handle the appearance variations caused by identity, we use a learned Mahalanobis distance to seek optimal subjects with similar manifold to construct the embedding. Then, we propose a new smo...
متن کاملPerson-Independent Head Pose Estimation Using Biased Manifold Embedding
Head pose estimation has been an integral problem in the study of face recognition systems and human-computer interfaces, as part of biometric applications. A fine estimate of the head pose angle is necessary and useful for several face analysis applications. To determine the head pose, face images with varying pose angles can be considered to be lying on a smooth low-dimensional manifold in hi...
متن کاملHead Pose Estimation via Manifold Learning
For the last decades, manifold learning has shown its advantage of efficient non-linear dimensionality reduction in data analysis. Based on the assumption that informative and discriminative representation of the data lies on a low-dimensional smooth manifold which implicitly embedded in the original high-dimensional space, manifold learning aims to learn the low-dimensional representation foll...
متن کاملPerson Independent Head Pose Estimation by Non-Linear Regression and Manifold Embedding
This paper describes an approach to head pose estimation in passport type images with an emphasis on high accuracy for near-frontal poses as well as person independence. Two different algorithms are proposed and compared. A Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor is used for non-linear regression and a Biased Manifold Embedding (BME) approach is extended to cope with multiple poseangle...

In this paper, a new -graph regularized semisupervised manifold learning (LRSML) method is proposed for robust human head pose estimation problem. The manifold is constructed under Biased Manifold Embedding (BME) framework which computes a biased neighborhood of each point in the feature space with -graph regularization. The construction process of -graph is assumed to be unsupervised without h...
