Estimating 3D Facial Pose using the EM Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how 3D facial pose may be estimated by fitting a template to 2D feature locations. The fitting process is realised as projecting the control points of the 3D template onto the 2D feature locations under orthographic projection. The parameters of the orthographic projection are iteratively estimated using the EM algorithm. The method is evaluated on both contrived data with known ground-truth together with some more naturalistic imagery. These experiments reveal that under favourable conditions the algorithm can estimate facial pitch to within 3 degrees.

متن کاملRecovering Perspective Pose with a Dual Step EM Algorithm
This paper describes a new approach to extracting 3D perspective structure from 2D point-sets. The novel feature is to unify the tasks of estimating transformation geometry and identifying pointcorrespondence matches. Unification is realised by constructing a mixture model over the bi-partite graph representing the correspondence match and by effecting optimisation using the EM algorithm. Accor...
متن کاملEm-Based Point to Plane ICP for 3D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
3D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a very important issue in autonomous robotics. One of the popular algorithms applied as a frontend of SLAM is iterative closest point (ICP). In this paper, the ICP is modelled into a probabilistic framework including both pose estimation and data association steps using expectation maximization (EM). The result derived is that the solution conv...
متن کاملRobust 3d Head Pose Classiication Using Wavelets Mukesh C. Motwani Entitled Robust 3d Head Pose Classiication Using Wavelets Master of Science
This thesis describes a robust method for estimating face pose from a video sequence featuring views of a human head under variable lighting and facial expression conditions. Wavelet transform is used to decompose the image into multiresolution face images containing both spatial and spatial-frequency information. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to project a mid-frequency, low-resolu...
متن کاملPose and Illumination Invariant Registration and Tracking for Video-based Face Recognition
Pose and illumination variations remain a persistent problem in face recognition algorithms. In this paper we present a method for accurately estimating the pose and illumination conditions, and use it for registration and tracking in video-based face recognition algorithms. This is achieved by using a joint motion, illumination and shape model that is bilinear in the motion and illumination va...
