Evaluation of Multiple Cues Head Pose Tracking Algorithm in Indoor Environments

2005
Reports

Abstract

Head pose estimation is a research area which has many applications, e.g. in human computer interfaces design or in the analysis of people's focus-of-attention. The paper addresses the issue of head pose estimation, and makes two contributions. First it introduces a database of more than 2 hours of video with head pose annotation involving people engaged in office activities or meeting discussion. The database will be made publicly available. The second is an algorithm which couples tracking and head pose estimation in a mixed-state particle filter. The approach combines the robustness of color-based tracking by exploiting skin head/face models with the localization accuracy of texture-based head models, as demonstrated by the reported experiments.

User interface

In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls and process controls.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".

User interface design

User interface (UI) design or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. In computer or software design, user interface (UI) design primarily focuses on information architecture. It is the process of building interfaces that clearly communicates to the user what's important. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms of interface design.
