Fast Stereo-Based Head Tracking for Interactive Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a robust implementation of stereo-based head tracking designed for interactive environments with uncontrolled lighting. We integrate fast face detection and drift reduction algorithms with a gradient-based stereo rigid motion tracking technique. Our system can automatically segment and track a user’s head under large rotation and illumination variations. Precision and usability of our approach are compared with previous tracking methods for cursor control and target selection in both desktop and interactive room environments.

Stereo-Based Head Pose Tracking Using Iterative Closest Point and Normal Flow Constraint
In this text, we present two stereo-based head tracking techniques along with a fast 3D model acquisition system. The first tracking technique is a robust implementation of stereo-based head tracking designed for interactive environments with uncontrolled lighting. We integrate fast face detection and drift reduction algorithms with a gradient-based stereo rigid motion tracking technique. Our s...
متن کاملImprovement of Human Tracking in Stereoscopic Environment Using Subtraction Stereo with Shadow Detection
The combination of subtraction stereo with shadow detection we propose improves people tracking in stereoscopic environments. Subtraction stereo is a stereo matching method which is fast and robust for the correspondence problem – one of the most serious issues in computer vision – restricting the search range of matching to foreground regions. Shadow detection gives adequate foreground regions...

متن کاملSTEREO−BASED ELLIPTICAL HEAD TRACKING (ThuPmOR11)
Abstract : A novel algorithm for head−tracking based on stereo is presented in this paper. Employing stereo vision makes the tracker robust to many factors such as clutter, color and lighting variations, that affect contemporary head trackers. The head is modeled as an ellipse and tracking is performed on the foreground obtained by modeling depth. This is facilitated by using stereo vision. Fur...
متن کاملPerson and gesture tracking with smart stereo cameras
Physical security increasingly involves sophisticated, real-time visual tracking of a person’s location inside a given environment, often in conjunction with biometrics and other security-related technologies. However, demanding realworld conditions like crowded rooms, changes in lighting and physical obstructions have proved incredibly challenging for 2D computer vision technology. In contrast...
