Abstract

This paper presents an extension of the relevance vector machine (RVM) algorithm to multivariate regression. This allows the application to the task of estimating the pose of an articulated object from a single camera. RVMs are used to learn a one-to-many mapping from image features to state space, thereby being able to handle pose ambiguity.
