    摘要: In one embodiment of the present invention, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is configured to detect an object in an image using a random forest classifier that includes multiple, identically structured decision trees. Notably, the application of each of the decision trees is independent of the application of the other decision trees. In operation, the GPU partitions the image into subsets of pixels, and associates an execution thread with each of the pixels in the subset of pixels. The GPU then causes each of the execution threads to apply the random forest classifier to the associated pixel, thereby determining a likelihood that the pixel corresponds to the object. Advantageously, such a distributed approach to object detection more fully leverages the parallel architecture of the PPU than conventional approaches. In particular, the PPU performs object detection more efficiently using the random forest classifier than using a cascaded classifier.

    摘要: A MacBeth color checker chart automatic detection system includes an imaging unit that provides an image and a processing unit that applies an edge detection operation to the image and performs a flood-fill operation on the image to provide a flood-filled image. Additionally, the MacBeth color checker chart automatic detection system includes a testing unit that tests the flood-filled image to provide a modified flood-fill image, wherein a set of heuristic tests are employed to automatically determine quantity and location of MacBeth color checker charts. Generally, the set of heuristic tests are employed to automatically reject regions that are unlikely to belong to a MacBeth color checker chart and to cluster the remaining regions that are likely to belong to a Macbeth color checker chart. A MacBeth color checker chart automatic detection method is also provided.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for estimating a head pose of a user. The technique includes acquiring depth data associated with a head of the user and initializing each particle included in a set of particles with a different candidate head pose. The technique further includes performing one or more optimization passes that include performing at least one iterative closest point (ICP) iteration for each particle and performing at least one particle swarm optimization (PSO) iteration. Each ICP iteration includes rendering the three-dimensional reference model based on the candidate head pose associated with the particle and comparing the three-dimensional reference model to the depth data. Each PSO iteration comprises updating a global best head pose associated with the set of particles and modifying at least one candidate head pose. The technique further includes modifying a shape of the three-dimensional reference model based on depth data.
