HEAD POSE ESTIMATION

INFORMATION TCHNOLOGY

Head pose estimation is an computer vision task. In computer vision the pose of an object refers to its relative orientation and position with respect to a camera. You can change the pose by either moving the object with respect to the camera, or the camera with respect to the object. In many applications, we need to know how the head is tilted with respect to a camera. In a virtual reality application, for example, one can use the pose of the head to render the right view of the scene. In a driver assistance system, a camera looking at a driver’s face in a vehicle can use head pose estimation to see if the driver is paying attention to the road. And of course, one can use head pose based gestures to control a hands-free application / game. In this Project, we want to know the object’s pose from its translation and rotation. We will use Python as the programming language. Also, we use the media pipe library for detecting face key points and the OpenCV library for estimating the pose of a head.
