Abstract

The new approach was proposed which uses feature extraction based on fuzzy integral in the process of face verification using morphological shape decomposition. The centre of area was used with image pixels related with structure element and its weight in an attempt to consider neighborhood information. Therefore the morphological operators were defined for feature extraction. And then the number of decomposition images were more about 4 times than the conventional. Finally in the simulations with the extractions for face verification it was proved that the approach in this paper was even more good than the conventional in stability of feature extraction and threshold value.

퍼지 형태학적 형상 분해를 이용한 얼굴인증 과정에서 퍼지척도를 기반으로 한 특징추출 방법을 제안하였다. 형태소에 관계하는 영상정보와 퍼지척도를 기반으로 한 가중치에 대하여 무게중심을 이용하여 인접정보가 고려되었다. 이에 의한 형태학적 침식과 팽창연산자를 정의하여 얼굴영역의 특징점 추출시 기존의 방법보다 4배 이상의 많은 분해영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 결국 특징 벡터를 이용하여 얼굴인증을 수행한 실험결과 기존의 형상분해에 의한 방법보다 특징점 추출과 임계값의 안정성을 확보하여 인식 결과에서 비교우위를 가질 수 있었다.
