Abstract

Head pose estimation has fascinated the research community due to its application in facial motion capture, human-computer interaction and video conferencing. It is a pre-requisite to gaze tracking, face recognition, and facial expression analysis. In this paper, we present a generic and robust method for model-based global 2D head pose estimation from single RGB Image. In our approach we use of the one part the Gabor filters to conceive a robust pose descriptor to illumination and facial expression variations, and that target the pose information. Moreover, we ensure the classification of these descriptors using a SVM classifier. The approach has proved effective view the rate for the correct pose estimations that we got.
