Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for 3D face tracking intended for clinical infant pain monitoring. The algorithm uses a cylinder head model and 3D head pose recovery by alignment of dynamically extracted templates based on dense-HOG features. Drift reduction is obtained from re-registration in combination with multi-pose state estimation by a square-root unscented Kalman filter. Results on videos of moving infants in hospital show good tracking for poses up to 50 degrees from upright-frontal, with mean eyelocation error relative to inter-ocular distance below 9%.
