A Real-Time System for Head Tracking and Pose Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Driver’s visual attention provides important clues about his/ her activities and awareness. To monitor driver’s awareness, this paper proposes a real-time person-independent head tracking and pose estimation system using a monochromatic camera. The tracking and head-pose estimation tasks are formulated as regression problems. Three regression methods are proposed: (i) individual mapping on images for head tracking, (ii) direct mapping to subspace for head tracking, which predicts a subspace from one sample, and (iii) semantic piecewise regression for head-pose estimation. The approaches are evaluated on standard databases, and on several videos collected in vehicle environments.

متن کاملHead Pose Estimation System Based on Particle Filtering with Adaptive Diffusion Control
In this paper, we propose a new tracking system based on a stochastic filtering framework for reliably estimating the 3D pose of a user’s head in real-time. Our system estimates the pose of a user’s head in each image frame whose 3D model is automatically obtained at an initialization step. In particular, our estimation method is designed to control the diffusion factor of a motion model adapti...

Facial pose and gaze point are fundamental to any visually directed human-machine interface. In this paper, we propose a system capable of tracking a face and estimating the 3-D pose and the gaze point all in a real-time video stream of the head. This is done by using a 3-D model together with multiple triplet triangulation of feature positions assuming an affine projection. Using feature-based...
