Determining pose of a human face from a single monocular image
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach for estimating 3D head pose form a monocular image is proposed. Our approach employs general prior knowledge of face structure and the corresponding geometrical constraints provided by the location of vanishing point to determine pose of human faces. Eye-lines and mouth-line are assumed parallel in 3D space, and the vanishing point formed by the intersection of the eyeline and mouth-line in the image can be used to infer 3D orientation and location of human face. Perspective invariance of cross ratio and harmonic range is used to locate the vanishing point stably. The robustness analysis of the algorithm with synthesis data and real face images are enclosed.

3D Face pose estimation and tracking from a monocular camera
In this paper, we describe a new approach for estimating and tracking three-dimensional (3D) pose of a human face from the face images obtained from a single monocular view with full perspective projection. We assume that the shape of a 3D face can be approximated by an ellipse and that the aspect ratio of 3D face ellipse is given. Given a monocular image of a face, we ®rst perform an ellipse d...
متن کاملAn Optimization Based Framework for Human Pose Estimation in Monocular Videos
Human pose estimation using monocular vision is a challenging problem in computer vision. Past work has focused on developing efficient inference algorithms and probabilistic prior models based on captured kinematic/dynamic measurements. However, such algorithms face challenges in generalization beyond the learned dataset. In this work, we propose a model-based generative approach for estimatin...
متن کاملFace Pose Estimation From a Face Ellipse
In this paper, we describe a new approach for estimating 3D pose of a human face from a monocular image. We assume that the shape of a face can be approximated by an ellipse and the ratio of the major to minor axis of the ellipse is given. We rst detect a face ellipse and then estimate the face pose. Compared with the existing feature-based approaches for face pose estimation, our approach is m...

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...

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for realtime 3D face pose discrimination based on active IR illumination from a monocular view of the camera. Under the IR illumination; the pupils appear bright. We develop algorithms for efficient and robust detection and tracking pupils in real time. Based on the geometric distortions of pupils under different face orientations, an eigen eye feature...
