Concerning that the high performance requirement of face pose estimation system which could not run on mobile phone in real time, a real-time face pose estimation system was realized for Android mobile phone terminals. First of all, one positive face image and one face image with a certain offset angle were obtained by the camera for establishing a simple 3D face model by Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithm. Secondly, the system extracted corresponding feature points from the real-time face image to 3D face model. The 3D face pose parameters were got by POSIT (Pose from Orthography and Scaling with ITeration) algorithm. At last, the 3D face model was displayed on Android mobile terminals in real-time using OpenGL (Open Graphics Library). The experimental results showed that the speed of detecting and displaying the face pose was up to 20 frame/s in the real-time video, which is close to 3D face pose estimation algorithm based on the affine correspondance on computer terminals; and the speed of detecting a large number of image sequences reached 50 frame/s. The results indicate that the system can satisfy the performance requirement for Android mobile phone terminals and real-time requirement of detecting the face pose.
