Abstract

In this paper we present a method for estimating the absolutepose of a rigid object based on intensity and depth view-basedeigenspaces, built across multiple views of exampleobjects of the same class. Given an initial frame of an objectwith unknown pose, we reconstruct a prior model for allviews represented in the eigenspaces. For each new frame,we compute the pose-changes between every view of thereconstructed prior model and the new frame. The resultingpose-changes are then combined and used in a Kalmanfilter update. This approach for pose estimation is user-independentand the prior model can be initialized automaticallyfrom any view point of the view-based eigenspaces.To track more robustly over time, we present an extensionof this pose estimation technique where we integrate ourprior model approach with an adaptive differential tracker.We demonstrate the accuracy of our approach on face posetracking using stereo cameras.
