METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING HEAD POSE USING THERMAL CAMERA

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for recognizing head pose using a thermal camera is provided to recognize the head pose regardless of the change in an adjacent region by recognizing the head pose through a thermal image near a face. CONSTITUTION: A thermal image camera(100) photographs the heat of a human body, and a face divider(120) divides the thermal image of the face in the terminal image. A thermal region extraction unit(130) extracts a thermal region, and a weight value extraction unit(140) extracts the coordinates of a center in the thermal. An end coordinate detector(150) detects X and Y axes of pixels in the horizontal and vertical ends of the thermal image. A head pose judgment unit(160) judges the head pose through the X and Y axes and the coordinates of the center.
