ESTIMATION DEVICE, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223231 titled 'ESTIMATION DEVICE, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an estimation device that can estimate the direction of a face and line of sight based on a face image.

  • The device generates multiple extraction regions by perturbing a partial image determined by feature points extracted from the face image.
  • It estimates the directions of the face and line of sight, as well as the reliability of each direction, based on the partial images within the extraction regions.
  • The device then calculates an integrated direction by combining the estimated directions, taking into account their respective reliabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

An estimation device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to: generate a plurality of extraction regions by adding a perturbation to an extraction region of a partial image determined based on positions of feature points extracted from a face image; estimate a plurality of directions of at least one of a face and a line of sight and a reliability of each of the plurality of directions based on a plurality of partial images in the plurality of extraction regions of the face image; and calculate an integrated direction obtained by integrating the plurality of directions based on the estimated reliability.
