  • Patent number: 11288840
    Abstract: Disclosed is an artificial intelligence (AI) apparatus including a two-dimensional (2D) image sensor configured to acquire a 2D image of a head of a person, a three-dimensional (3D) image sensor configured to acquire 3D head pose information of the head, and a processor configured to match the 2D image with the 3D head pose information, to extract 3D head pose information for determining a rotation direction of the head from the 3D head pose information, to extract a 2D image matched with the extracted 3D head pose information, to acquire 3D relative coordinates as a reference for correcting the 3D head pose information based on 2D coordinates of a predetermined landmark point of the extracted 2D image, and to acquire the corrected 3D head pose information of the predetermined landmark point of each 2D image by correcting the 3D head pose information based on the 3D relative coordinates.
