  • Method and apparatus for estimating a pose of a head for a person
    Patent number: 9437011
    Abstract: A method of estimating a pose of a head for a person, includes estimating the pose of the head for the person based on a content, and generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a face for the person. The method further includes generating pictorial structures of the face based on the estimated pose and the 3D model, and determining a refined pose of the head by locating parts of the face in the pictorial structures.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for estimating position of head, computer readable storage medium thereof
    Patent number: 9349038
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and an apparatus for estimating head position of an individual are described. The method includes cropping an image object in an image. The image object may include a visual representation of a head of at least one individual. The method further includes abstracting one or more features from the image object. Subsequently, position of the head of the at least one individual in the image object is determined using the one or more features and a predefined statistical model. The predefined statistical model may include a value of each of the pixels of one or more stored images representing variety of head poses and ranges of head poses of the at least one individual.
