Active Face Tracking and Pose Estimation in anInteractive
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 world location. Closed loop feedback from the estimated facial location is used to guide the camera when a face is present in the foveated view. Our system can detect the head pose of an unconstrained user in real-time as he or she moves about an open room.

Face Model Adaptation for Tracking and Active Appearance Model Training
In this paper, we consider the potentialities of adapting a 3D deformable face model to video sequences. Two adaptation methods are proposed. The first method computes the adaptation using a locally exhaustive and directed search in the parameter space. The second method decouples the estimation of head and facial feature motion. It computes the 3D head pose by combining: (i) a robust feature-b...
متن کاملFusion 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...
متن کامل3D Face pose estimation and tracking from a monocular camera
In this paper, we describe a new approach for estimating and tracking three-dimensional (3D) pose of a human face from the face images obtained from a single monocular view with full perspective projection. We assume that the shape of a 3D face can be approximated by an ellipse and that the aspect ratio of 3D face ellipse is given. Given a monocular image of a face, we ®rst perform an ellipse d...
متن کاملFacial tracking with head pose estimation in stereo vision
Facial tracking is a key step for face modeling, coding and animation. In this paper we present a robust method of facial tracking in stereo vision. We use an efficient representation of 3-D face motion, consisting of global head motion and local facial deformation. Stereo vision is utilized to measure 3-D coordinates of the face, the global and local motion parameters of the tracked face is so...
متن کاملLooking 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...
