چکیده

This paper proposes a novel method to improve the accuracy of head pose estimation. Since biologically inspired features (BIF) have been demonstrated to be both effective and efficient for many visual tasks, we argue that BIF can be applied to the problem of head pose estimation. By combining the BIF with the well-known local binary pattern (LBP) feature, we propose a novel feature descriptor named ‘‘local ensemble-based supervised methods are applied to reduce the dimension while at the same time improving its discriminative ability. Results obtained from the evaluation on two different databases show that the proposed LBIF feature achieves significant improvements over the state-of-the-art methods of head pose estimation. & 2013 Elsevier B.V.

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...

Driver head pose estimation using efficient descriptor fusion

A great interest is focused on driver assistance systems using the head pose as an indicator of the visual focus of attention and the mental state. In fact, the head pose estimation is a technique allowing to deduce head orientation relatively to a view of camera and could be performed by model-based or appearance-based approaches. Modelbased approaches use a face geometrical model usually obta...

Local gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

Head Pose Estimation on Top of Haar-Like Face Detection: A Study Using the Kinect Sensor

Head pose estimation is a crucial initial task for human face analysis, which is employed in several computer vision systems, such as: facial expression recognition, head gesture recognition, yawn detection, etc. In this work, we propose a frame-based approach to estimate the head pose on top of the Viola and Jones (VJ) Haar-like face detector. Several appearance and depth-based feature types a...

Three-Dimensional Object Recognition and Registration for Robotic Grasping Systems Using a Modified Viewpoint Feature Histogram

This paper presents a novel 3D feature descriptor for object recognition and to identify poses when there are six-degrees-of-freedom for mobile manipulation and grasping applications. Firstly, a Microsoft Kinect sensor is used to capture 3D point cloud data. A viewpoint feature histogram (VFH) descriptor for the 3D point cloud data then encodes the geometry and viewpoint, so an object can be si...
