In this paper a coarse-to-fine system framework for analyzing the head gesture is presented. We discuss several important modules from computervision aspects, including the pose-invariant face detection, face tracking, pose determination and high-resolution image reconstruction for eye pupils detection. Visual cues using intensity images obtained from in-car cameras are explored. A pose-invariant face detection algorithm is used to get the initial face area; afterwards face tracking and validation step is proposed to segment the face region for pose determination. The algorithm is tested on the drivers images under natural driving conditions. Experimental results show that the algorithm is robust to the head pose changes as well as the illumination changes. In this system framework, we propose that when coarse analysis utilizing the head pose alone is not sufficient for driver's behavior analysis, a finer analysis based on the eye gaze tracking is used, which requires images with sufficient resolution. A novel super-resolution reconstruction algorithm is proposed to help reveal more facial details, so as to facilitate the pupil detection. Experiment on the synthesis data shows the effectiveness of the super-resolution reconstruction algorithm

A regression model in the tensorPCA subspace is proposed in this paper for face super-resolution reconstruction. An approximate conditional probability model is used for the tensor subspace coefficients and maximum-likelihood estimator gives a linear regression model. The approximation is corrected by adding non-linear component from a RBF-type regressor. Experiments on face images from FERET database validate the algorithm. Although each projection coefficient is estimated by a local estimator, tensorPCA subspace analysis is still a global descriptor, which makes the algorithm have certain ability to deal with partially occluded images

We propose an approach to incorporate spatial information into the estimate of the entropy of an image by partitioning a high-dimensional space into regions over which a one-dimensional histogram can be indexed. This approach obviates the need for the construction of high-dimensional histograms and makes no assumptions on the form of the high-dimensional probability mass function. We use this partitioned estimate of entropy to compute image similarity measures, useful in image registration, and we examine the convergence properties of the registration process

In this work, we explore various ideas and approaches to deal with the inherent uncertainty and image noise in motion analysis, and develop a low-complexity, accurate and reliable scheme to estimate the motion fields from UAV navigation videos. The motion field information allows us to accurately estimate ego-motion parameters of the UAV and refine (or correct) the motion measurements from other sensors. Based on the motion field information, we also compute the range map for objects in the scene. Once we have accurate knowledge about the vehicle motion and its navigation environment (range map), control and guidance laws can be designed to navigate the UAV between way points and avoid obstacles

In this paper we proposed to solve the eye detection and localization problem under a general statistical model based object detection framework. A binary tree representation is used to discover the objects’ underlying statistical structure. Tree structures enable us to describe the object local statistical structure in a coarse-to-fine fashion. Each subtree explains the statistics for certain local substructure. The tree is built in a top-down fashion. Subsets with negligible conditional independency are found by k-means clustering using mutual information. The conditionally independent features are separated into different subtrees, while more dependent features are tended to appear close in the tree. The distribution of the object can be learned accordingly. Gaussian mixture in the independent component analysis (ICA) subspace is used to model the distribution of each high dependent feature subset, where each independent component explains the local substructure. The use of tree structure enables us to learn the distribution recursively by applying Bayesian criterion. Substantial experiments were done to evaluate the performance over the eyes detection accuracy as well as the localization ability. Experimental results show a better detection accuracy than the Viisage system with a reasonable localization ability, which validate the algorithm.

This paper presents the gait pattern generation work performed for the six-legged robot EA308 developed in our laboratory. The aim is to achieve a dynamically developing gait pattern generation structure using reinforcement learning. For the six legged robot a simplified simulative model is constructed. The algorithm constructs a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to command proper leg configurations to the simulative robot. The weights of the RBFNN are learned using reinforcement learning. The developed structure succeeded in learning gait patterns compatible with different speeds of the robot.
