Face Pose Estimation in Uncontrolled Environments
Jania Aghajanian, Simon J. D. Prince · 2009
Automatic estimation of head pose faciliates human facial analysis. It has widespread applications such as, gaze direction detection, video teleconferencing and human computer interaction (HCI). It can also be integrated in a multi-view face detection and recognition system. Most current methods estimate pose in a limited range or treat pose as a classification problem by assigning the face to one of many discrete poses [1,2]. Mainly tested on images taken in controlled environments e.g. the FacePix dataset [3] (Fig. 1a).
