Automated Head Pose Estimation of Vehicle Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a method for evaluating the dynamic blind spot of an operator of a construction vehicle by integrating static blind spot map of a construction vehicle with the head orientation of the operator. By computing the position and orientation of the equipment operator’s head, the field-of-view (FOV) of the operator is known which is projected on the blind spot map of the vehicle. This helps in determining the regions around the vehicle that are in the visible to the operator. In case a worker is present in the non-FOV region of the operator, the operator can be alerted and thus establish a proactive warning system to reduce the injuries/fatalities accounted by struck-by incidents.

Driver’s visual attention provides important clues about his/ her activities and awareness. To monitor driver’s awareness, this paper proposes a real-time person-independent head tracking and pose estimation system using a monochromatic camera. The tracking and head-pose estimation tasks are formulated as regression problems. Three regression methods are proposed: (i) individual mapping on imag...

We present an algorithm for estimation of head orientation and describe automated bootstrap initialization of a person-speci c model from a generic model to achieve greater accuracy. Given pose-annotated, cropped images of people's heads from various viewpoints, the algorithm builds an ellipsoidal 3D model of the head, where points on the model learn probabilistic information about local edge d...
