چکیده

Estimating a driver’s head pose is an important task in driver-assistance systems because it can provide information about where a driver is looking, thereby giving useful cues about the status of the driver (i.e., paying proper attention, fatigued, etc.). This study proposes a system for estimating the head pose using monocular images, which includes a novel use of backprojection. The system can use a single image to estimate a driver’s head pose at a particular time stamp, or an image sequence to support the analysis of a driver’s status. Using our proposed system, we compared two previous pose estimation approaches. We introduced an approach for providing ground-truth reference data using a mannequin model. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system provides relatively accurate estimations of the yaw, tilt, and roll angle. The results also show that one of the pose estimation approaches (perspective-n-point, PnP) provided a consistently better estimate compared to the other (pose from orthography and scaling with iterations, POSIT) using our proposed system.

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

Self-initializing Head Pose Estimation With a 2D Monocular USB Camera

In this paper, we describe a method for estimating 3d pose of a human head from a 2d monocular web-cam image. We propose a novel system based on existing computer vision techniques for real-time head pose estimation, which can start and recover from failure automatically without any previous knowledge of the user’s appearance or location and keeping the user free of any devices or wires. The sy...

Combining Stochastic and Deterministic Search for Pose-Invariant Facial Expression Recognition

We propose a novel method for pose-invariant facial expression recognition from monocular video sequences that combines stochastic and deterministic search processes. We use the simple face model called variable-intensity template, which can be prepared with very little time and effort. We tackle the two issues found in previous work on the variable-intensity template: low accuracy in head pose...

An Alternative Approach to Recovering 3D Pose Information from 2D Data

A novel approach is presented for real-time pose estimation of a known object being observed through a single camera. The future aim is to develop the method outlined here into a robust closed-form solution suitable for implementation on a monocular face tracking system. However, the method outlined in this paper offers a generic 2D to 3D pose estimation technique which is not limited to face t...

Monocular Head Pose Estimation

This work addresses the problem of human head pose estimation from single view images. 3D rigid head pose is estimated combining Active Appearance Models (AAM) with Pose from Orthography and Scaling with ITerations (POSIT). AAM shape landmarks are tracked over time and used in POSIT for pose estimation. A statistical anthropometric 3D model is used as reference. Several experiences were perform...
