FACIAL POSE ESTIMATION FOR IMAGE RETRIEVAL

Andreas Savakis, James Schimmel

2007

Abstract

Face detection is a prominent semantic feature which, along with low-level features, is often used for content-based image retrieval. In this paper we present a human facial pose estimation method that can be used to generate additional metadata for more effective image retrieval when a face is already detected. Our computationally efficient pose estimation approach is based on a simplified geometric head model and combines artificial neural network (ANN) detectors with template matching. Testing at various poses demonstrated that the proposed method achieves pose estimation within 4.28 degrees on average, when the facial features are accurately detected.
