This thesis proposes a face detection algorithm using the color and edge informations in color image. The proposed algorithm segments skin color by Cb and Cr in YCbCr coordinates. Then face candidate regions are made after morphological filtering and labeling. For the regions, the Sobel vortical operation and horizontal projection are performed in the Y luminance components. The peak value indicates the eye location. Similarly, the chin location is detected by the Sobel horizontal operation and horizontal projection. The computer simulation shows that the proposed method gains similar detection rates of previous method and prevent facial region from including neck by detection of chin.

Recently the need for advanced security technologies are increasing as the occurrence of intelligent crime is growing fastly. Previous liveness detection and fake face detection methods are required for the improvement of accuracy in order to be put to practical use. In this paper, we propose a new liveness detection method using pupil reflection, and new fake image detection using Adaboost detector. The proposed system detects eyes based on multi-scale Gabor feature vector in the first stage, The template matching plays a role in determining the allowed eye area. And then, the reflected image in the pupil is used to decide whether or not the captured image is live or not. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods in the detection accuracy of fake images.

In this paper, we present a new method which efficiently estimates a face direction from a sequences of input video images in real time fashion. For this work, the proposed method performs detecting the facial region and major facial features such as both eyes, nose and mouth by using the Haar-like feature, which is relatively not sensitive against light variation, from the detected facial area. Then, it becomes able to track the feature points from every frame using optical flow in real time fashion, and determine the direction of the face based on the feature points tracked. Further, in order to prevent the erroneously recognizing the false positions of the facial features when if the coordinates of the features are lost during the tracking by using optical flow, the proposed method determines the validity of locations of the facial features using the template matching of detected facial features in real time. Depending on the correlation rate of re-considering the detection of the features by the template matching, the face direction estimation process is divided into detecting the facial features again or tracking features while determining the direction of the face. The template matching initially saves the location information of 4 facial features such as the left and right eye, the end of nose and mouse in facial feature detection phase and reevaluated these information when the similarity measure between the stored information and the traced facial information by optical flow is exceed a certain level of threshold by detecting the new facial features from the input image. The proposed approach automatically combines the phase of detecting facial features and the phase of tracking features reciprocally and enables to estimate face pose stably in a real-time fashion. From the experiment, we can prove that the proposed method efficiently estimates face direction.

When we detect side-view face in color image, we decide a candidate face region using skin-tone color, and confirm to the face by template matching. Cang Wei use a left and a right template of face, calculate to similarity value by hausdorff method, and decide the final side-view face. It has a characteristic that side-view face is wide spreading neck region. To get exactly result, face region is separated vertically by 3 pixel unit, and matched template. In this paper, we assume that a side-view face is a right side-view or a left side-view face. We separate a half of the candidate face region vertically, and regard a left side as left candidate face, a right side as right candidate face by template matching. This method detect faster than Gang Wei method.

In this paper, we propose the new side-view face detection method in color images which contain faces over one. It uses color and the geometrical distance between nose and chin. We convert RGB to YCbCr color space. We extract candidate regions of face using skin color information from image. And then, the extracted regions are processed by morphological filter, and the processed regions are labeled. Also, we correct the gradient of inclined face image using projected character of nose. And we detect the inclined side-view faces that have right and left 45 tips by within via ordinate. And we get 92% detection rate in 100 test images.

얼굴의 특징점 추적은 많은 응용프로그램에서 사용된다. AAM기반의 접근방식은 정교한 얼굴 특징점 정보를 제공하지만 정확한 특징 점 추출을 위해 얼굴 모양 파라미터 초기화 문제와 연속 영상에서 얼굴의 이동이 클 경우 모션 보정에 대한 문제가 여전히 남아있다. 이러한 문제를 풀기 위해 본 논문에서는 CAMShift를 사용해 얼굴 영역을 추적하고, 얼굴 영역 내에서 입을 검출함으로써 AAM 검색을 위한 얼굴 모양 파라미터를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘과의 비교 실험을 통해 얼굴의 움직임이 심한 상황에서도 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

For face detection techniques, the correctness of detection decreases with different lightings and backgrounds so such requires new methods and techniques. This study has aimed to obtain data for reasoning human emotional information by analyzing the components of the eyes and mouth that are critical in expressing emotions. To do this, existing problems in detecting face are addressed and a detection method that has a high detection rate and fast processing speed good at detecting environmental elements is proposed. This method must detect a specific part (eyes and a mouth) by using Haar-like Feature technique with the application of an integral image. After which, binaries detect elements based on color information, dividing the face zone and skin zone. To generate correct shape, the shape of detected elements is generated by using a bezier curve-a curve generation algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by using data in the Face Recognition Homepage. The result showed that Haar-like technique and bezier curve method were able to detect face elements more elaborately.

본 논문에서는 물체의 고유 칼라 정보 복원을 통하여 조명의 영향을 받지 않는 칼라 기반 얼굴검출 기법을 제안한다. 즉 주위 조명 영향으로부터 RGB 성분 계수를 파악하여 조명 성분에 영향을 받은 성분을 상쇄시키고, 색포화도와 밝기값 보상을 통해 고유 칼라를 복원(color recover)하는 실험을 하였고, 복원된 영상을 YCbCr 좌표계로 변환시킨 후, CbCr 각각에 대해 살색 성분이 나타내는 일정한 범위내의 부분을 검출하였다. 또한 이 진화 과정에서 생긴 잡음들을 형태학적인 모폴로지 필터를 통해 제거하였으며, 살색 후보 영역 중 같은 영역들은 레이블링하여 얼굴 후보 영역을 생성하였다. 그러나 칼라 정보만으로는 검출된 영역이 얼굴인지를 판단하기가 매우 어렵다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 인간시각에 기반한 Gabor 필터를 사용하여, 검출된 살색 영역이 최종적으로 얼굴인지를 판별하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다.
