In this paper, the recognition of the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants (as defined by their eye gaze direction) from their head pose is addressed. To this ...
We propose an algorithm for extracting facial features robustly from images for face recognition under large pose variation. Rectangular facial features are retrieved via the by-p...
