Head Pose Estimation on Low Resolution Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of estimating head pose over a wide range of angles from low-resolution images. Faces are detected using chrominance-based features. Grey-level normalized face imagettes serve as input for linear auto-associative memory. One memory is computed for each pose using a Widrow-Hoff learning rule. Head pose is classified with a winner-takes-all process. We compare results from our method with abilities of human subjects to estimate head pose from the same data set. Our method achieves similar results in estimating orientation in tilt (head nodding) angle, and higher precision for estimating orientation in the pan (side-to-side) angle.

Advance in Head Pose Estimation from Low Resolution Images: A Review
In the task of analyzing image of individuals, head pose is one of the most vital pieces of information ones can acquired from the image. Thus, several researchers have attempted to find a way to automatically extract such information with sufficient accuracy. On the other hand, due to the increasing of surveillance system which generally produce head images in low resolution, many researchers ...
متن کاملColour Invariant Head Pose Classification in Low Resolution Video
This paper presents an algorithm for the classification of head pose in low resolution video. Invariance to skin, hair and background colours is achieved by classifying using an ensemble of randomised ferns which have been trained on labelled images. The ferns are used to simultaneously classify the head pose and to identify the most likely hypothesis for the mapping between colours and labels....
متن کاملHeadLock: Wide-Range Head Pose Estimation for Low Resolution Video
This thesis focuses on data mining technologies to extract head pose information from low resolution video recordings. Head pose, as an approximation of gaze direction, is a key indicator of human behavior and interaction. Extracting head pose information from video recordings is a labor intensive endeavor that severely limits the feasibility of using large video corpora to perform tasks that r...
متن کاملHead 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 کامل3D Head Pose Estimation with Symmetry Based Illumination Model in Low Resolution Video
A head pose estimation system is described, which uses low resolution video sequences to determine the orientation and position of a head with respect to a internally calibrated camera. The system employs a feature based approach to roughly estimate the head pose and an approach using a symmetry based illumination model to refine the head pose independent of the users albedo and illumination in...
