Abstract
An approach using 3D algorithms to solve 2D head localization problems is disclosed. A system can extrapolate aspects of one part of an object, e.g., extract characteristics of a person's head, using a 2D input image of another part of the object, e.g., a 2D image of the person's face. The system then selects an appropriate 3D model by the use of facial features detected in an image of a person's face. Using the selected 3D model and the 3D rotation angles provided by a face detector, the system rotates the model and then projects the model to a 2D shape. The system then scales and translates, e.g., transforms, the 2D shape to match the 2D face bounding box. Then, using the transformed 2D shape, the system extracts a bounding box for the extracted portion of an object, e.g., the head of the person depicted in the 2D input image.
