Abstract(in English) This paper presents an approach for spotting recognition of human head gestures from color image series. First, we use an algorithm based on perceptually uniform color system to detect skin color region and hair color region of the face from input images. Then, the 3D pose of the head relative to the camera is estimated by calculating the primary moment and secondary moment of the skin color region and hair color region. The standard patterns of each gesture were represented by the sequence of rotation angles in X,Y,Z axis, and the head area. Moreover the head gestures were recognized by using the CDP (Continuous Dynamic Programing) algorithm to compare input image series with the standard patterns. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of this approach in the head gestures recognition from time-varying images with wearing glasses and with different head size.
