چکیده

This paper presents an extension of the relevance vector machine (RVM) algorithm to multivariate regression. This allows the application to the task of estimating the pose of an articulated object from a single camera. RVMs are used to learn a oneto-many mapping from image features to state space, thereby being able to handle pose ambiguity.

A Real-Time System for Head Tracking and Pose Estimation

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 imag...

Combining Human Body Shape and Pose Estimation for Robust Upper Body Tracking Using a Depth Sensor

Rapid and accurate estimation of a person’s upper body shape and real-time tracking of the pose in the presence of occlusions is crucial for many future assistive technologies, health care applications and telemedicine systems. We propose to tackle this challenging problem by combining data-driven and generative methods for both body shape and pose estimation. Our strategy comprises a subspace-...

Multivariate Relevance Vector Machines for Tracking

This paper presents a learning based approach to tracking articulated human body motion from a single camera. In order to address the problem of pose ambiguity, a one-to-many mapping from image features to state space is learned using a set of relevance vector machines, extended to handle multivariate outputs. The image features are Hausdorff matching scores obtained by matching different shape...

Head Pose Estimation by a Stepwise Nonlinear Regression

Head pose estimation is a crucial step for numerous face applications such as gaze tracking and face recognition. In this paper, we introduce a new method to learn the mapping between a set of features and the corresponding head pose. It combines a filter based feature selection and a Generalized Regression Neural Network where inputs are sequentially selected through a boosting process. We pro...
