Camera Distance from Face Images

چکیده
We present a method for estimating the distance between a camera and a human head in 2D images from a calibrated camera. Leading head pose estimation algorithms focus mainly on head orientation (yaw, pitch, and roll) and translations perpendicular to the camera principal axis. Our contribution is a system that can estimate head pose under large translations parallel to the camera’s principal axis. Our method uses a set of exemplar 3D human heads to estimate the distance between a camera and a previously unseen head. The distance is estimated by solving for the camera pose using Effective Perspective n-Point (EPnP). We present promising experimental results using the Texas 3D Face Recognition Database.

PTZ camera assisted face acquisition, tracking & recognition
Face recognition systems typically have a rather short operating distance with standoff (distance between the camera and the subject) limited to 1∼2 meters. When these systems are used to capture face images at a larger distance (5∼10 m), the resulting images contain only a small number of pixels on the face region, resulting in a degradation in face recognition performance. To address this pro...
متن کاملFace Tracking and Recognition at a Distance: A Coaxial & Concentric PTZ Camera System
Face recognition has been regarded as an effective method of subject identification at a distance because of its covert and remote sensing capability. However, face images have a low resolution when they are captured at a distance (say, larger than 5 meters) thereby degrading the face matching performance. To address this problem, we propose an imaging system consisting of static and PTZ camera...
متن کاملNighttime face recognition at large standoff: Cross-distance and cross-spectral matching
Face recognition in surveillance systems is important for security applications, especially in nighttime scenarios when the subject is far away from the camera. However, due to the face image quality degradation caused by large camera standoff and low illuminance, nighttime face recognition at large standoff is challenging. In this paper, we report a system that is capable of collecting face im...

In video surveillance, the viewing angle of face with respect to camera, called angular occlusion (also referred to as head pose) will limit system’s ability in face recognition. In this paper, a method for angular occlusion elimination in face images is proposed, which is based on image morphing. The proposed method models a frontal face from a batch of images with different head poses b...
متن کاملEvaluating the Efficiency of a Night-Time, Middle-Range Infrared Sensor for Applications in Human Detection and Recognition
In law enforcement and security applications, the acquisition of face images is critical in producing key trace evidence for the successful identification of potential threats. In this work we, first, use a near infrared (NIR) sensor designed with the capability to acquire images at middle-range stand-off distances at night. Then, we determine the maximum stand-off distance where face recogniti...
