This paper proposes a method for head pose estimation from a single image. Previous methods often predicts head poses through landmark or depth estimation and would require more computation than necessary. Our method is based on regression and feature aggregation. For having a compact model, we employ the soft stagewise regression scheme. Existing feature aggregation methods treat inputs as a bag of features and thus ignore their spatial relationship in a feature map. We propose to learn a fine-grained structure mapping for spatially grouping features before aggregation. The fine-grained structure provides part-based information and pooled values. By ultilizing learnable and non-learnable importance over the spatial location, different variant models as a complementary ensemble can be generated. Experiments show that out method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods including both the landmark-free ones and the ones based on landmark or depth estimation. Based on a single RGB frame as input, our method even outperforms methods utilizing multi-modality information (RGB-D, RGB-Time) on estimating the yaw angle. Furthermore, the memory overhead of the proposed model is 100× smaller than that of previous methods.

There are three different section of this project.
- Data pre-processing
- Training and testing
- Demo
We will go through the details in the following sections.
This repository is for 300W-LP, AFLW2000, and BIWI datasets.
If you don't want to re-download every dataset images and do the pre-processing again, or maybe you don't even care about the data structure in the folder. Just download the file data.zip from the following link, and replace the data folder.
Now you can skip to the "Training and testing" stage.
In the paper, we define Protocol 1 and Protocol 2.
# Protocol 1
Training: 300W-LP (A set of subsets: {AFW.npz, AFW_Flip.npz, HELEN.npz, HELEN_Flip.npz, IBUG.npz, IBUG_Flip.npz, LFPW.npz, LFPW_Flip.npz})
Testing: AFLW2000.npz or BIWI_noTrack.npz
# Protocol 2
Training: BIWI(70%)-> BIWI_train.npz
Testing: BIWI(30%)-> BIWI_test.npz
(Note that type1 (300W-LP, AFLW2000) datasets have the same image arrangement, and I categorize them as type1. It is not about Protocal 1 or 2.)
If you want to do the pre-processing from the beginning, you need to download the dataset first.
Put 300W-LP and AFLW2000 folders under data/type1/, and put BIWI folder under data/
# For 300W-LP and AFLW2000 datasets
cd data/type1
sh run_created_db_type1.sh
# For BIWI dataset
cd data
python TYY_create_db_biwi.py
python TYY_create_db_biwi_70_30.py
# Training
sh run_fsanet_train.sh
# Testing
# Note that we calculate the MAE of yaw, pitch, roll independently, and average them into one single MAE for evaluation.
sh run_fsanet_test.sh
Just remember to check which model type you want to use in the shell script and you are good to go.
You need a webcam to correctly process the demo file.
Note the the center of the color axes is the detected face center. Ideally, each frame should have new face detection results. However, if the face detection fails, the previous detection results will be used to estimate poses.
LBP is fast enough for real-time face detection, while MTCNN is much more accurate but slow.
(2019/08/30 update!) SSD face detection is robust and fast! I borrow some face detector code from https://www.pyimagesearch.com
# LBP face detector (fast but often miss detecting faces)
cd demo
sh run_demo_FSANET.sh
# MTCNN face detector (slow but accurate)

sh run_demo_FSANET_mtcnn.sh
# SSD face detector (fast and accurate)
