A System for Probabilistic Joint 3D Head Tracking and Pose Estimation in Low-Resolution, Multi-view Environments

چکیده
We present a new system for 3D head tracking and pose estimation in low-resolution, multi-view environments. Our approach consists of a joint particle filter scheme, that combines head shape evaluation with histograms of oriented gradients and pose estimation by means of artificial neural networks. The joint evaluation resolves previous problems of automatic alignment and multi-sensor fusion and gains an automatic system that is flexible against modifications in the available number of cameras. We evaluate on the CLEAR07 dataset for multi-view head pose estimation and achieve mean pose errors of 7.2◦ and 9.3◦ for pan and tilt respectively, which improves accuracy compared to our previous work by 14.9% and 25.8%.

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...
متن کاملJoint Head tracking and Pose estimation for Visual focus of attention recognition
During the last two decades, computer science what are the ability to give to provide to machines in order to give them the ability to understand human behavior. One of them which is an important key to understand human behaviors, is the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of a person, which can be inferred from the gaze direction. The VFOA of a person gives insight about information such as who o...
متن کاملJoint Bayesian Tracking of Head Location and Pose from Low-Resolution Video
This paper presents a visual particle filter for jointly tracking the position of a person and her head pose. The resulting information may be used to support automatic analysis of interactive people behaviour, by supporting proxemics analysis and providing dynamic information on focus of attention. A pose-sensitive visual likelihood is proposed which models the appearance of the target on a ke...
متن کاملNeural Network-Based Head Pose Estimation and Multi-view Fusion
In this paper, we present two systems that were used for head pose estimation during the CLEAR06 Evaluation. We participated in two tasks: (1) estimating both pan and tilt orientation on synthetic, high resolution head captures, (2) estimating horizontal head orientation only on real seminar recordings that were captured with multiple cameras from different viewing angles. In both systems, we u...
متن کاملHead Pose Estimation in Single- and Multi-view Environments - Results on the CLEAR'07 Benchmarks
In this paper, we present our system used and evaluated on the CLEAR’07 benchmarks, both on singleand multi-view head pose estimation. The benchmarks show a high contrast in the application domain: whereas the single-view task provides meeting recordings involving high-quality captures of the participants, the multi-view benchmark targets at low-quality, unobtrusive observations of people by me...
