چکیده

This paper presents a robust and recursive means of tracking and modeling faces in near-field video sequences. An Extended Kalman Filter is coupled with a generic wire-frame face model and a correlation based 2D tracking process, providing a recursive means of recovering simple camera geometry, head pose and object structure. Head pose parameters are used to animate the texture-mapped face model and the estimated structure is fed back to constrain feature tracking in the next frame.

Recursive Estimation of Head Pose in a Model Based Video Coding System

In aid of achieving low bit-rate video for videophone applications, we present a Structure from Motion approach to head pose recovery, to be used in a Model Based Video coded system for the head. An extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used as a recursive estimator to recover basic camera geometry, head pose and object structure using observation measurements of the system from a 2D tracking process...

Real-time head tracking and 3D pose estimation from range data

In this paper a head tracking algorithm using 3D data is described. The system relies on a novel 3D sensor that generates a dense range image of the scene. By not relying on brightness information, the proposed system guarantees robustness under various illumination conditions, and content of the scene. The main novelty of the proposed algorithms, with respect to other head tracking techniques,...

Modeling and copying human head movements

Abstract— This paper derives two discrete motion models for 3D pose recovery starting from the stochastic differential equations that describe the object’s motion in continuous time. The velocity is considered first as a Wiener process, which underlies the very often-used constant velocity model, and second as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Analysis of the autocorrelation signal derived in expe...

3D Model-Based Head Tracking

This paper introduces a new approach to feature-based head tracking and pose estimation. Head tracking and pose estimation nd their most important applications in motion analysis for model-based video coding. The proposed algorithm employs an underlying 3D head model, feature-based pose estimation, and texture mapping to produce accurate templates for the feature tracking. In this way, the set ...

Head 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...
