Robust and accurate 2D-tracking-based 3D positioning method: Application to head pose estimation

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a novel, robust and accurate head pose estimation algorithm.

• Our methodology is applicable to any object if we have an approximate 3D model.

• We successfully address the problem of drifting of points that lose track, inherent to most point-tracking systems.

• We validate all the enhancements proposed on two different databases of videos.

• Our final method outperforms the state of the art on the two test databases.
