Abstract
Recognition of human behaviour is receiving increasing attention in computer vision, and has many useful applications. In this work we investigate how head pose can be exploited to impose contextual constraints for the recognition of gestures. The method is demonstrated in a video conferencing scenario involving three people who use gestures to control the camera and focus of attention.
