초록

본 논문에서는 얼굴 표정에서 나타나는 동적인 정서상태 변화를 고려한 얼굴 영상 기반 정서 인식 연구를 제안한다. 본 연구는 얼굴 영상 기반 정서적 특징 검출 및 분석 단계와 정서 상태 분류/인식 단계로 구분할 수 있다. 세부 연구의 구성 중 첫 번째는 Facial Action Units (FAUs)과 결합한 Active Shape Model (ASM)을 이용하여 정서 특징 영역 검출 및 분석기법의 제안이며, 두 번째는 시간에 따른 정서 상태의 동적 변화를 고려한 정확한 인식을 위하여 Hidden Markov Model(HMM) 형태의 Dynamic Bayesian Network를 사용한 정서 상태 분류 및 인식기법의 제안이다. 또한, 최적의 정서적 상태 분류를 위한 HMM의 파라미터 학습 시 Harmony Search (HS) 알고리즘을 이용한 휴리스틱 최적화 과정을 적용하였으며, 이를 통하여 동적 얼굴 영상 변화를 기반으로 하는 정서 상태 인식 시스템을 구성하고 그 성능의 향상을 도모하였다.

In this paper, we propose an study of the facial emotion recognition considering the dynamical variation of emotional state in facial image sequences. The proposed system consists of two main step: facial image based emotional feature extraction and emotional state classification/recognition. At first, we propose a method for extracting and analyzing the emotional feature region using a combination of Active Shape Model (ASM) and Facial Action Units (FAUs). And then, it is proposed that emotional state classification and recognition method based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) type of dynamic Bayesian network. Also, we adopt a Harmony Search (HS) algorithm based heuristic optimization procedure in a parameter learning of HMM in order to classify the emotional state more accurately. By using all these methods, we construct the emotion recognition system based on variations of the dynamic facial image sequence and make an attempt at improvement of the recognition performance.
