In nuce: Scientific researchers at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have published a method via GitHub that can be used to estimate the position of a person’s head.
In toto: The method goes by the name of 6DRepNet, the corresponding academic paper is called 6D Rotation Representation for Unconstrained Head Pose Estimation. According to the scientists involved, their method exceeds conventional approaches by up to 20 per cent. It remains to be seen whether the method can be tested under real-world production conditions in the entertainment industry. The scientists involved in the method are PhD students Thorsten Hempel and Ahmed Abdelrahman – as well as Professor of Neuro-Information Technology for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Ayoub Al-Hamadi.
