초록

본 논문에서는 비제약적 얼굴 데이터 베이스를 위한 확장성 있는 얼굴 인식 방법을 연구하고, 간단한 실험 결과를 소개한다. 기존의 얼굴 인식 연구들은 주로 조명, 얼굴 각도, 표정, 배경 등 제약이 있는 환경에서의 정확도 향상에 초점을 맞추고 있어서 비제약적 얼굴 데이터 베이스에 사용하기에 적합하지 않다. 제안하는 얼굴인식 방법은 비제약적 얼굴 인식을 위한 특징 추출 알고리즘으로, 먼저 지역적 특징이 존재하는 눈, 코, 입과 같이 얼굴의 중요한 특징을 나타내는 영역을 분리한다. 각 얼굴 주요 위치는 고차원의 다중 스케일 국부 이진패턴 히스토그램(Multi-scale LBP histogram) 특징 벡터로 기술된다. 단일 얼굴 주요 위치에 해당하는 다중 스케일 국부 이진패턴 히스토그램 특징 벡터는 주성분 분석법(PCA: Principal Component Analysis)과 선형 판별 분석법(LDA: Linear Discriminant Analysis)의 차원 축소 과정을 통해 저차원 얼굴 특징 벡터를 생성한다. 저차원 얼굴 특징 벡터는 랭크 획득과 Precision at k(p@k) 성능 평가 방법을 이용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 얼굴 인식 성능을 검증한다. 본 연구는 FERET, LFW 및 PubFig83 데이터 베이스를 이용하여 얼굴 인식 실험을 수행하였으며, 제안한 알고리즘을 이용한 얼굴 인식 방법이 기존의 방법보다 향상된 인식성능을 보였다.

This paper proposes a scalable face recognition method for unconstrained face databases, and shows a simple experimental result. Existing face recognition research usually has focused on improving the recognition rate in a constrained environment where illumination, face alignment, facial expression, and background is controlled. Therefore, it cannot be applied in unconstrained face databases. The proposed system is face feature extraction algorithm for unconstrained face recognition. First of all, we extract the area that represent the important features(landmarks) in the face, like the eyes, nose, and mouth. Each landmark is represented by a high-dimensional LBP(Local Binary Pattern) histogram feature vector. The multi-scale LBP histogram vector corresponding to a single landmark, becomes a low-dimensional face feature vector through the feature reduction process, PCA(Principal Component Analysis) and LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis). We use the Rank acquisition method and Precision at k(p@k) performance verification method for verifying the face recognition performance of the low-dimensional face feature by the proposed algorithm. To generate the experimental results of face recognition we used the FERET, LFW and PubFig83 database. The face recognition system using the proposed algorithm showed a better classification performance over the existing methods.
