Robust Method for Real-time, Continuous, 3D Detection of Obstructed Faces in Indoors Environments

Charles Baur, Sébastien Grange

We address the need for robust detection of obstructed human features in complex environments, with a focus on intelligent surgical UIs. In our setup, real-time detection is used to find features without the help of local (spatial or temporal) information. ...
