The capacity to estimate the head pose of another person is a common human ability that
presents a unique challenge for computer vision systems. Compared to face detection and …

Face detection, which is an effortless task for humans, is complex to perform on machines.
The recent veer proliferation of computational resources is paving the way for frantic …

Local binary pattern (LBP) is a nonparametric descriptor, which efficiently summarizes the
local structures of images. In recent years, it has aroused increasing interest in many areas …

Abstract Evaluation of driving performance is of utmost importance in order to reduce road
accident rate. Since driving ability includes visual-spatial and operational attention, among …

Head pose is an important cue in computer vision when using facial information. Over the
last three decades, methods for head pose estimation have received increasing attention …

The local binary pattern (LBP) operator is defined as a gray-scale invariant texture measure,
derived from a general definition of texture in a local neighborhood. Due to its discriminative …

The understanding of mutual people interaction is a key component for recognizing people
social behavior, but it strongly relies on a personal point of view resulting difficult to be a …

Among very popular local image descriptors which has shown interesting results in
extracting soft facial biometric traits is the local binary patterns (LBP). LBP is a gray-scale …

We present a robust front-end pose classification/estimation procedure to be used in face
recognition scenarios. A novel discriminative feature description that encodes underlying …

Head pose estimation is recently a more and more popular area of research. For the last
three decades new approaches have constantly been developed, and steadily better …
