First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented head position estimating method comprising:
- cropping an image object in an image, wherein the image object comprises a visual representation of a head of at least one individual;
abstracting one or more features from the image object; and
determining a position of the head of the at least one individual in the image object, by way of a processor, using the one or more abstracted features and a predefined statistical model.

Abstract
A computer implemented method and an apparatus for estimating head position of an individual are described. The method includes cropping an image object in an image. The image object may include a visual representation of a head of at least one individual. The method further includes abstracting one or more features from the image object. Subsequently,
- position of the head of the at least one individual in the image object is determined using the one or more features and a predefined statistical model. The predefined statistical model may include a value of each of the pixels of one or more stored images representing variety of head poses and ranges of head poses of the at least one individual.
