초록

이 논문은 입술의 형태를 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하였다. 입술은 PDM(Point Distribution Model)을 기반으로 점들의 집합으로 표현하였다. 주성분 분석법을 적용하여 입술 모델을 구하고 모델에서 사용하는 형태계수의 분포를 GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 이용하여 구하였다. 이 과정에서 계수를 정하기 위하여 EM(Expectation Maximization) 알고리듬을 사용하였다. 입술 경계선 모델은 입술을 구성하는 각 점과 주변 영역에서의 화소간 변화를 이용하여 구성하였으며 입술 탐색시 사용되었다. 여러 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for recognizing human lips. Based on Point Distribution Model, a lip shape is represented as a set of points. We calculate a lip model and the distribution of shape parameters using Principle Component Analysis and Gaussian mixture, respectively. The Expectation Maximization algorithm is used to determine the maximum likelihood parameter of Gaussian mixture. The lip contour model is derived by using the gray value changes at each point and in regions around the point and used to search the lip shape in a image. The experiments have been performed for many images, and show very encouraging result.
