    Abstract: Techniques are provided for estimation of human orientation and facial pose, in images that include depth information. A methodology embodying the techniques includes detecting a human in an image generated by a depth camera and estimating an orientation category associated with the detected human. The estimation is based on application of a random forest classifier, with leaf node template matching, to the image. The orientation category defines a range of angular offsets relative to an angle corresponding to the human facing the depth camera. The method also includes performing a three dimensional (3D) facial pose estimation of the detected human, based on detected facial landmarks, in response to a determination that the estimated orientation category includes the angle corresponding to the human facing the depth camera.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detection of humans in images that include depth information. A methodology embodying the techniques includes segmenting an image into multiple windows and estimating the distance to a subject in each window based on depth pixel values in that window, and filtering to reject windows with sizes that are outside of a desired window size range. The desired window size range is based on the estimated subject distance and the focal length of the depth camera that produced the image. The method further includes generating classifier features for each remaining windows (post-filtering) for use by a cascade classifier. The cascade classifier creates candidate windows for further consideration based on a preliminary detection of a human in any of the remaining windows. The method further includes merging neighboring candidate windows and executing a linear classifier on the merged candidate windows to verify the detection of a human.
