Title:
ポーズ角度を推定するためのシステムおよび方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4469275
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for determining the pose angle of an object in an input image. In a preferred embodiment, the present system comprises a pose estimator having a prototype projector, a regression estimator, and an angle calculator. The prototype projector is preferably adapted to reduce the input image dimensionality for faster further processing by projecting the input pixels of the image onto a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural network. The regression estimator is preferably implemented as a neural network and adapted to map the projections to a pattern unique to each pose. The angle calculator preferably includes a curve fitter and an error analyzer. The curve fitter is preferably adapted to estimate the pose angle from the mapping pattern. The error analyzer is preferably adapted to produce a confidence signal representing the likelihood of the input image being a face at the calculated pose. The system also preferably includes two network trainers responsible for synthesizing the neural networks.
