The facial recognition algorithms using Gabor wavelet based face graph produce very good performance while they have some weakness such as a large amount of computation and an irregular result depend on initial location. We proposed a fully automatic facial recognition algorithm using a Gabor feature based geometric deformable face graph matching. The initial location and size of a face graph can be selected using Adaboost detection results for speed-up. To find the best face graph with the face model graph by updating the size and location of the graph, the geometric transformable parameters are defined. The best parameters for an optimal face graph are derived using an optimization technique. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can produce very good performance with recognition rate 96.7% and recognition speed 0.26 sec for FERET database.

In this paper, we propose a GRNN(: Generalized Regression Neural Network) algorithms for new eyes and face recognition identification system to solve the points that need corrective action in accordance with the existing problems of facial movements gaze upon it difficult to identify the user and. Using a Kalman filter structural information elements of a face feature to determine the authenticity of the face was estimated future location using the location information of the current head and the treatment time is relatively fast horizontal and vertical elements of the face using a histogram analysis the detected. And the light obtained by configuring the infrared illuminator pupil effects in real-time detection of the pupil, the pupil tracking was - to extract the text print vector.

This paper proposes the real time lip reading method in the embedded environment. The embedded environment has the limited sources to use compared to existing PC environment, so it is hard to drive the lip reading system with existing PC environment in the embedded environment in real time. To solve the problem, this paper suggests detection methods of lip region, feature extraction of lips, and awareness methods of phonetic words suitable to the embedded environment. First, it detects the face region by using face color information to find out the accurate lip region and then detects the exact lip region by finding the position of both eyes from the detected face region and using the geometric relations. To detect strong features of lighting variables by the changing surroundings, histogram matching, lip folding, and RASTA filter were applied, and the properties extracted by using the principal component analysis(PCA) were used for recognition. The result of the test has shown the processing speed between 1.15 and 2.35 sec. according to vocalizations in the embedded environment of CPU 806Mhz, RAM 128MB specifications and obtained 77% of recognition as 139 among 180 words were recognized.

This study proposed a more stable robust recognition algorithm which detects faces reliably even in cases where there are changes in lighting and angle of view, as well it satisfies efficiency in calculation and detection performance. The algorithm proposed detects the face area alone after normalization through pre-processing and obtains a feature vector using (PCA). Also, by applying the feature vector obtained for SVM, face areas can be tested. After the testing, using the feature vector is final face recognition performed. The algorithm proposed in this study could increase the stability and accuracy of recognition rates and as a large amount of calculation was not necessary due to the use of two dimensions, real-time recognition was possible.

최근 얼굴 인식은 사용자의 편의성을 포함한 다양한 장점으로 인하여 생체 인식 시장에서 주요 기술로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 조명 변화에 기인한 얼굴 인식 성능의 저하는 실용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 조명 변화에 따른 얼굴의 외형 변화를 분석하는 연구들이 세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 방법들은 다수의 등록 영상이나 조명에 대한 사전 정보가 필요하거나 실시간으로 구현되기 어렵기 때문에 실용 시스템에 적용하기는 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는, 여러 조명 영상들로 구성된 학습 데이터를 이용하여, 조명에 대한 정보가 없는 한 장의 입력 영상을 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 SVDD를 이용하여 학습 데이터의 여러 조면 영상들로부터 입력 영상의 조명과 같은 대표영상을 합성하고 이 대표영상들의 선형 조합을 이용하여 입력 영상을 표현한다. 제안 방법의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 공인 얼굴 데이터베이스들을 이용하여, 기존 방법들과 비교 실험을 수행하였으며, 조명 변화가 큰 영상에서도 안정된 조명 변화의 분석이 가능하였다.

e-Learning education system as the next educational trend supporting remote and multimedia education. However, the students stay mainly at remote place and it is hard to certificate whether he is really studying now or not. To solve this problem, some solutions were proposed such as instructor's supervision by real time motion picture or message exchanging. Unhappily, as you can see, it needs much cost to establish the motion exchanging system and trampling upon human rights could occasion to reduce the student's will. Accordingly, we propose the new intelligent system based on face recognition to reduce the system cost. The e-Learning system running on the web page can check the student's status by motion image, and the images transfer to the instructor. For this study, 20 students and one instructor takes part in capturing and recognizing the face images. And the result produces the prevention the leave of students from lecture and improvement of attention.

최근 들어 정보통신 분야의 기술이 급격히 발전함에 따라 컴퓨터 사용의 증가와 임베디드 시스템 및 사회 각 분야에서 보안에 대한 의식이 점점 높아져 가고 있다. 각 분야에서 신체 정보를 이용한 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있는데 본 논문에서는 USB 캠을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 인식 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 카메라를 이용하여 얼굴을 인식하는 방법은 현재까지 여러 가지 방법들이 제시되어 왔지만 일반 pc에서 쓰는 USB 캠을 사용하여 제약 조건 없고 안정적인 인식 방법은 아직까지 나와 있지 않다. 얼굴영역을 주성분 변수로 변환하여 영상의 명암, 얼굴위치, 얼굴의 영역을 추출할 수 있는 기존의 시스템들이 많이 연구되어 왔는데 본 논문에서 제안된 방법에서는 일상생활에서 흔히 쓰는 USB 캠을 사용하여 기존의 CCTV와 같은 고가의 하드웨어를 대체하며 보다 효율적인 성능을 위하여 얼굴을 식별하기 위해 LVQ, FCMA, RBF 알고리즘을 적용한 시스템을 설계한다.

Face tracking and recognition are difficult problems because the face is a non-rigid object. If the system tries to track or recognize the unknown face continuously, it can be more hard problems. In this paper, we propose the method to track and to recognize the face of the unknown person on video sequences using linear combination of nonlinear manifold models that is constructed in the system. The arbitrary input face has different similarities with different persons in system according to its shape or pose. Do we can approximate the new nonlinear manifold model for the input face by estimating the similarities with other faces statistically. The approximated model is updated at each frame for the input face. Our experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient to track and recognize for the arbitrary person.

A lot of lipreading system has been proposed to compensate the rate of speech recognition dropped in a noisy environment. Previous lipreading systems work on some specific conditions such as artificial lighting and predefined background color. In this paper, we propose a real-time lipreading system which allows the motion of a speaker and relaxes the restriction on the condition for color and lighting. The proposed system extracts face and lip region from input video sequence captured with a common PC camera and essential visual information in real-time. It recognizes utterance words by using the visual information in real-time. It uses the hue histogram model to extract face and lip region. It uses mean shift algorithm to track the face of a moving speaker. It uses PCA(Principal Component Analysis) to extract the visual information for learning and testing. Also, it uses HMM(Hidden Markov Model) as a recognition algorithm. The experimental results show that our system could get the recognition rate of 90% in case of speaker dependent lipreading and increase the rate of speech recognition up to 40～85% according to the noise level when it is combined with audio speech recognition.
