Use Case and High-Level Description

Head pose estimation network based on simple, handmade CNN architecture. Angle regression layers are convolutions + ReLU + batch norm + fully connected with one output.

The estimator outputs yaw pitch and roll angles measured in degrees. Suppose the following coordinate system:

• OX points from face center to camera
• OY points from face center to right
• OZ points from face center to up

The predicted angles show how the face is rotated according to a rotation matrix:

Yaw - counterclockwise Pitch - counterclockwise Roll - clockwise
    [cosY -sinY 0]          [ cosP 0 sinP]       [1    0    0 ]   [cosY*cosP cosY*sinP*sinR-sinY*cosR cosY*sinP*cosR+sinY*sinR]
    [sinY  cosY 0]    *     [  0   1  0  ]   *   [0  cosR sinR] = [sinY*cosP cosY*cosR-sinY*sinP*sinR sinY*sinP*cosR+cosY*sinR]
    [  0    0   1]          [-sinP 0 cosP]       [0 -sinR cosR]   [  -sinP          -cosP*sinR                cosP*cosR       ]
