Since pose-varying face images form nonlinear convex manifold in high dimensional image space, it is difficult to model their pose distribution in terms of a simple probabilistic density function. To solve this difficulty, we divide the pose space into many constituent pose classes and treat the continuous pose estimation problem as a discrete pose-class identification problem. We propose to use a hierarchicallystructuredml (Maximum Likelihood) poseclassifiers in the reduced feature space to decrease the computation time for pose identification, where pose space is divided into several pose groups and each group consists of a number of similar neighboring poses. We use the CONDENSATION algorithm to find a newly appearing face and track the face with a variety of poses in real-time. Simulation results show that our proposed pose identification using the hierarchically structured ml pose classifiers can perform a faster pose identification than conventional pose identification using the flat structuredmlposeclassifiers. A real-time facial pose tracking system is built with high speed hierarchically structured ml pose classifiers.
