Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new model-based method for estimating face pose from a facial image. In this method, computer generated models are used for reducing the cost of collecting the images of various models. By the use of computer generated models, it is very easy to change the acquisition conditions of the model images, such as illumination and pose of the object. Additionally, the eigen space technique is employed for reducing the huge capacity of the prepared models and huge computation for matching input images with model images. We show the results of pose estimation from facial images of varying illumination for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.
