Abstract:

During the past few decades, face recognition has been an active research area in pattern recognition and computer vision due to its wide range of applications. However, one of the most challenging problems encountered by face recognition is the difficulty of handling large head pose variations. Therefore, the efficient and effective head pose estimation is a critical step of face recognition. In this paper, a novel feature extraction framework, called Directional Correlation Filter Bank (DCFB), is presented for head pose estimation. Specifically, in the proposed framework, the 1-Dimensional Optimal Tradeoff Filters (1D-OTF) corresponding to different head poses are simultaneously and jointly designed in the low-dimensional linear subspace. Different from the traditional methods that heavily rely on the precise localization of the key facial feature points, our proposed framework exploits the frequency domain of the face images, which effectively captures the high-order statistics of faces. As a result, the obtained features are compact and discriminative. Experimental results on public face databases with large head pose variations show the superior performance obtained by the proposed framework on the tasks of both head pose estimation and face recognition.
