Abstract

Face warping techniques have been used for correcting image distortion as well as for creative purposes(e.g., morphing). Smartphone can capture an image from camera and transfer it through network. Thus, warping software which is implemented on the smartphone may be widely used in the fields of game and plastic surgery. This paper describes the design of face warping software using transformation with multiple pairs of lines and bilinear interpolation, and then shows the implementation results on the smartphone. Through many people review, this software showed real-time responsiveness and good transformation quality.

얼굴 변형 기술은 일그러진 영상을 보정하거나 새로운 영상으로 변환하는데 사용되고 있다. 스마트폰은 카메라가 기본적으로 장착되어 있기 때문에 영상을 쉽게 획득할 수 있고 네트워크를 통해 전송이 가능한 장점이 있다. 따라서 스마트폰에서 얼굴을 변형하는 기술을 사용한다면 게임이나 가상 성형분야에 폭넓게 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 제어선을 이용한 변형 알고리즘과 양선형 보간 기법을 사용하여 얼굴 부위를 변형하는 소프트웨어를 설계하고 실제 스마트폰에서 구현한 결과를 제시한다. 많은 사용자들을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 실시간성과 만족할만한 품질을 제공하는 것으로 평가받았다.
