In visual adaptive tracking, the tracker adapts to the target, background, and conditions of the image sequence. Each update introduces some error, so the tracker might drift away from the target over time. To increase the robustness against the drifting problem, we present three ideas on top of a particle filter framework: An optical-flow-based motion estimation, a learning strategy for preventing bad updates while staying adaptive, and a sliding window detector for failure detection and finding the best training examples. We experimentally evaluate the ideas using the BoBoT dataseta. The code of our tracker is available online.
We presented our robot framework and our efforts to make face analysis more robust towards self-occlusion caused by head pose. By using a lightweight linear fitting algorithm, we are able to obtain 3D models of human faces in real-time. The combination of adaptive tracking and 3D face modelling for the analysis of human faces is used as a basis for further research on human-machine interaction on our SCITOS robot platform.
We present a fully automatic approach to real-time 3D face reconstruction from monocular in-the-wild videos. With the use of a cascaded-regressor-based face tracking and a 3D morphable face model shape fitting, we obtain a semidense 3D face shape. We further use the texture information from multiple frames to build a holistic 3D face representation from the video footage. Our system is able to capture facial expressions and does not require any person specific training. We demonstrate the robustness of our approach on the challenging 300 Videos in the Wild (300- VW) dataset. Our real-time fitting framework is available as an open-source library at http://4dface.org.
