Abstract

Language has always been one of humanity's defining characteristics. Visual Language Identification (VLI) is a relatively new field of research that is complex and largely understudied. In this paper, we present a preliminary study in which we use linguistic information as a soft biometric trait to enhance the performance of a visual (auditory-free) identification system based on lip movement. We report a significant improvement in the identification performance of the proposed visual system as a result of the integration of these data using a score-based fusion strategy. Methods of Deep and Machine Learning are considered and evaluated. To the experimentation purposes, the dataset called laBial Articulation for the proBlem of the spokEn Language rEcognition (BABELE), consisting of eight different languages, has been created. It includes a collection of different features of which the spoken language represents the most relevant, while each sample is also manually labelled with gender and age of the subjects.

5. Ollivier-Ricci Curvature For Head Pose Estimation From a Single Image

Abstract

Head pose estimation is a crucial challenge for many real-world applications, such as attention and human behavior analysis. This paper aims to estimate head pose from a single image by applying notions of network curvature. In the real world, many complex networks have groups of nodes that are well connected to each other with significant functional roles. Similarly, the interactions of facial landmarks can be represented as complex dynamic systems modeled by weighted graphs. The functionalities of such systems are therefore intrinsically linked to the topology and geometry of the underlying graph. In this work, using the geometric notion of Ollivier-Ricci curvature (ORC) on weighted graphs as input to the XGBoost regression model, we show that the intrinsic geometric basis of ORC offers a natural approach to discovering underlying common structure within a pool of poses. Experiments on the BIWI, AFLW2000 and Pointing'04 datasets show that the ORC_XGB method performs well compared to state-of-the-art methods, both landmark-based and image-only.

18. HP2IFS: Head Pose estimation exploiting Partitioned Iterated Function Systems

Abstract

Estimating the actual head orientation from 2D images, with regard to its three degrees of freedom, is a well known problem that is highly significant for a large number of applications involving head pose knowledge. Consequently, this topic has been tackled by a plethora of methods and algorithms the most part of which exploits neural networks. Machine learning methods, indeed, achieve accurate head rotation values yet require an adequate training stage and, to that aim, a relevant number of positive and negative examples. In this paper we take a different approach to this topic by using fractal coding theory and particularly Partitioned Iterated Function Systems to extract the fractal code from the input head image and to compare this representation to the fractal code of a reference model through Hamming distance. According to experiments conducted on both the BIWI and the AFLW2000 databases, the proposed PIFS based head pose estimation method provides accurate yaw/pitch/roll angular values, with a performance approaching that of state of the art of machine-learning based algorithms and exceeding most of non-training based approaches.
