In this paper we propose a method to detect human faces from color image using pupil-template matching. Face detection is done by three stages. (i)separating skin regions from non-skin regions; (ii)generating a face regions by application of the best-fit ellipse; (iii)detecting face by pupil-template. Detecting skin regions is based on a skin color model. we generate a gray scale image from original image by the skin model. The gray scale image is segmented to separated skin regions from non-skin regions. Face region is generated by application of the best-fit ellipse is computed on the base of moments. Generated face regions are matched by pupil-template. And we detection face.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for enhancing the detection speed and rate by reducing the computation in Hough Circle Transform on real-time iris detection of smartphone camera image. First of all, we find a face and eyes from input image to detect iris and normalize the iris region into fixed size to prevent variation of size for iris region according to distance from camera lens. Moreover, we carry out histogram equalization to get regular image in bright and dark illumination from smartphone and calculate minimal iris range that contains iris with the distance between corner of the left eye and corner of the right eye on the image. Subsequently, we can minimize the computation of iris detection by applying Hough Circle Transform on the range including the iris only. The experiment is carried out in two case with bright and dark illumination. Our proposed method represents that detection speed is 40% faster and detection rate is 14% better than existing methods.

눈동자 검출은 운전 부주의 검출, 졸음 검출, 시선 검출 등 다양한 상황 인지에 이용되고 있다. 이러한 상황 인지를 위해 본 논문에서는 원 허프 변환(Hough Circle Transform)을 이용한 눈동자 검출방법을 제안한다. 이것은 영상 내 원을 검출하는 방법으로 연산량이 많아 실시간 처리에 문제가 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 눈 검출 후 눈 영역의 크기를 일정한 눈 크기로 정규화 하고 눈의 양쪽 끝점간 거리에 따른 대략적인 눈동자의 반지름 값 범위를 추정한다. 그 추정된 반지름 값 범위 내에서 Hough Circle Transform을 수행하면 연산량의 축소가 가능하며 그 결과 초당 21frames 정도의 눈동자 검출이 가능하였다.

눈동자 부분을 밝게 만드는 밝은 눈동자 효과(Bright Pupil Effect)는 적외선 영상에서 사람의 얼굴을 부자연스럽게 보이도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 적외선 영상에서의 눈 검출 및 눈동자 추출과 밝은 눈동자 효과를 제거하는 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 먼저 얼굴 검출을 수행한 뒤, 눈 영역을 검출하고 눈동자 부분을 추출한다. 추출한 눈동자 부분이 적외선 반사에 의해 생성된 것인지를 판단하여 눈동자 주변 영역과의 밝기 차이를 빼줌으로써 적외선 반사에 의해 부자연스러워진 눈동자 부분을 보정한다. 제안한 방법은 디지털 카메라, 캠코더 및 스마트 폰에서 부자연스러운 인물 영상 보정에 적용할 수 있다.

There are many applications that require robust and accurate eye tracking, such as human-computer interface(HCI). In this paper, a novel approach for eye tracking with a principal component analysis on rotated face. In the process of iris detection, intensity information is used. First, for select eye region using principal component analysis. Finally, for eye detection using eye region's intensity. The experimental results show good performance in detecting eye from FERET image include rotate face.

In this paper, we propose a pupil detection method using hybrid projection function and rank order filter. To reduce error to detect eyebrows as pupil, eyebrows are detected using hybrid projection function in face region and eye region is set to not include the eyebrows. In the eye region, potential pupil candidates are detected using rank order filter and then the positions of pupil candidates are corrected. The pupil candidates are grouped into pairs based on geometric constraints. A similarity measure is obtained for two eye of each pair using template matching, we select a pair with the smallest similarity measure as final two pupils. The experiments have been performed for 700 images of the BioID face database. The pupil detection rate is 92.4% and the proposed method improves about 21.5% over the existing method..

Facial authentication has the limelight because it has less resistance and it is hard to falsify among various biometric identification. The algorithm of facial authentication can bring about huge difference in accuracy and speed by the algorithm construction. Along with face-extracted data by tracing and extracting pupil, the thesis studied algorithm which extracts data to improve error rate and to accurately authenticate face. It detects face by cascade, selects as significant area, divides the facial area into 4 equal parts to save the coordinate of object. Also, to detect pupil from the eye, the binarization is conducted and it detects pupil by Hough conversion. The core coordinate of detected pupil is saved and calculated to conduct facial authentication through data matching. The thesis studied optimized facial authentication algorithm which accurately calculates facial data with pupil trace.

사람의 얼굴은 표정, 조명 등에 따라 다양한 형태 변화가 있어 입력 영상마다 대표 특징을 정확히 찾는 것은 어려운 문제이다. 얼굴의 많은 특징 점 중에서 눈동자 부분은 얼굴 인식 등 다양한 부분에 있어서 얼굴 영역의 특징 점으로 가장 많이 이용되는 특징 점들 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 조명하에서의 단일 얼굴 영상에 대해 유전자 알고리즘과 템플릿 정합을 이용하여 빠르게 눈을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 조명과 배경에 강건한 검출 성능을 얻기 위해 눈동자 후보점을 찾아서 초기 개체군 생성에 이용하였으며, 각각의 개체는 템플릿의 기하학적 변환 정보로 구성되어 템플릿 정합에 의해 눈동자가 검출된다.

In this paper, we propose a robust eye detection method using template matching based on genetic algorithm in the single facial image. The previous works for detecting pupil using genetic algorithm had a problem that the detection accuracy is influnced much by the initial population for it's random value. Therefore, their detection result is not consistent. In order to overcome this point we extract local minima in the facial image and generate initial populations using ones that have high fitness with a template. Each chromosome consists of geometrical informations for the template image. Eye position is detected by template matching. Experiment results verify that the proposed eye detection method improve the precision rate and high accuracy in the single facial image.

In this paper, We proposed that real-time pupil detection using local binarization at each region of eyes in image. In image obtained a single low-resolution web-camera, we detect a region of face using haar-like feature and then detect each region of eyes depending upon the rate of width and height of region of face respectively. In each region of eyes, we detect the pupil after local preprocessing and binarizing. This pupil detection can be variously used for HCI(Human-Computer Interface) systems.
