Head Pose Estimation Based On Extended Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, Ce Zhan, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona Jan 2010

Head Pose Estimation Based On Extended Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, Ce Zhan, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

One popular solution to head pose estimation is to formulate it as a pattern classication problem, and treat the holistic facial appearance as the input to classiers. However, since the face appearance contains all kinds of information, the variation caused by other factors such as identity, expression and lighting may be larger than that caused by dierent head poses. Thus, the key challenge of these appearance based methods lies in constructing a feature subspace that could successfully recovers head pose while ignoring other sources of image variation. In this paper, following the intuition of combining parts to form a whole …


Gmp‐Based Channel Estimation For Single‐Carrier Transmissions Over Doubly Selective Channels, Qinghua Guo, Defeng (David) Huang Jan 2010

Gmp‐Based Channel Estimation For Single‐Carrier Transmissions Over Doubly Selective Channels, Qinghua Guo, Defeng (David) Huang

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

We present a graph-based channel estimation approach for SC-IFDE (single-carrier transmissions with iterative frequency domain equalization) without CP (cyclic prefix) over doubly selective channels using the recently developed Gaussian message passing (GMP) technique. A direct application of the GMP updating rules in the FFG (Forney-style factor graph) of the SC-IFDE system model incurs high complexity. Approximate updating rules are therefore developed to overcome this problem. The proposed GMP-based channel estimation approach has similar complexity as the low-complexity Kalman-filtering based frequency domain channel estimation approach in the literature, but significantly outperforms the latter due to its enhanced capability in capturing the …
