This study proposed a face region detection algorithm using fuzzy inference of pixel hue and intensity. The proposed algorithm is composed of light compensate and face detection. The light compensation process performs calibration for the change of light. The face detection process evaluates similarity by generating membership functions using as feature parameters hue and intensity calculated from 20 skin color models. From the extracted face region candidate, the eyes were detected with element C of color model CMY, and the mouth was detected with element Q of color model YIQ, the face region was detected based on the knowledge of an ordinary face. The result of experiment are conducted with frontal face color images of face as input images, the method detected the face region regardless of the position and size of face images.

This paper proposes a fast face detection and tracking method which uses depth images as well as RGB images. It consists of the face detection procedure and the face tracking procedure. The face detection method basically uses an existing method, Adaboost, but it reduces the size of the search area by using the depth image. The proposed face tracking method uses a template matching technique and incorporates an early-termination scheme to reduce the execution time further. The results from implementing and experimenting the proposed methods showed that the proposed face detection method takes only about 39% of the execution time of the existing method. The proposed tracking method takes only 2.48ms per frame with $640{\times}480$ resolution. For the exactness, the proposed detection method showed a little lower in detection ratio but in the error ratio, which is for the cases when a detected one as a face is not really a face, the proposed method showed only about 38% of that of the previous method. The proposed face tracking method turned out to have a trade-off relationship between the execution time and the exactness. In all the cases except a special one, the tracking error ratio is as low as about 1%. Therefore, we expect the proposed face detection and tracking methods can be used individually or in combined for many applications that need fast execution and exact detection or tracking.

이 논문에서는 커널 Edge Map 방식의 얼굴의 특징점을 검출하는 방법과 Adaboost를 이용한 얼굴의 특징점을 검출하는 방법을 이용하여 좀 더 강인한 얼굴의 특징점을 검출해 낸다. 커널 Edge Map을 이용한 방법은 기존의 10개의 커널을 이용하여 검출된 Edge를 이용하지 않고 좀 더 빠르게 검출해내기 위해 2개의 커널을 이용하여 얼굴의 특징점을 검출해 낸다. 이렇게 만들어진 얼굴의 특징점 후보군들에서 Adaboost를 이용하여 좀 더 정확하고 빠른 특징점을 찾을 수 있게 된다. Adaboost를 이용한 방법은 각각의 특징점들을 오프라인 상에서 학습을 하고 실시간으로 특징점을 검출하는 방법을 사용하였다. Edge를 이용한 방법으로 이미지의 전처리를 하여 후보군을 찾고 그 후보군과 Adaboost를 이용한 후보군들의 조합으로 인해 좀 더 강인하게 얼굴의 특징점을 찾을 수 있다.

In this paper, the real-time algorithm is proposed for automatic detection of the face and facial features. In the face region, we extracted eyes, nose, mouth and so forth. There are two methods to extract them; one is the method of using the location information of them, other is the method of using Gaussian second derivatives filters. This system have high speed and accuracy because the facial feature extraction is processed only by detected face region, not by whole image. There are some kinds of good experimental result for the proposed algorithm; high face detection rate of 95%, high speed of lower than 1sec. the reduction of illumination effect, and the compensation of face tilt.

In this paper, we propose a face recognition system using AAM and Gabor feature vectors. EBGM, which is prominent among face recognition algorithms employing Gabor feature vectors, requires localization of facial feature points where Gabor feature vectors are extracted. However, localization of facial feature points employed in EBGM is based on Gator jet similarity and is sensitive to initial points. Wrong localization of facial feature points affects face recognition rate. AAM is known to be successfully applied to localization of facial feature points. In this paper, we propose a facial feature point localization method which first roughly estimate facial feature points using AAM and refine facial feature points using Gabor jet similarity-based localization method with initial points set by the facial feature points estimated from AAM, and propose a face recognition system based on the proposed localization method. It is verified through experiments that the proposed face recognition system using the combined localization performs better than the conventional face recognition system using the Gabor similarity-based localization only like EBGM.

AAM has been successfully applied to face alignment, but its performance is very sensitive to initial values. In this paper, we propose a face alignment method using progressive AAM. The proposed method consists of two stages; modelling and relation derivation stage and fitting stage. Modelling and relation derivation stage first builds two AAM models; the inner face AAM model and the whole face AAM model and then derive the relation matrix between the inner face AAM model parameter vector and the whole face AAM model parameter vector. The fitting stage is processed progressively in two phases. In the first phase, the proposed method finds the feature parameters for the inner facial feature points of a new face, and then in the second phase it localizes the whole facial feature points of the new face using the initial values estimated utilizing the inner feature parameters obtained in the first phase and the relation matrix obtained in the first stage. Through experiments, it is verified that the proposed progressive AAM-based face alignment method is more robust with respect to pose, and face background than the conventional basic AAM-based face alignment.

Many does an application and application but the image analysis of face detection considerably is difficult. In order for with effect of the illumination which is irregular in the present paper America the illumination to range evenly in the face which is detected, detects a face territory, Complemented the result which detects only the front face of existing. With LAB color illumination revisions compared in Adaboost face detection of existing and 32% was visible the face detection result which improves. Bought two images which are input and executed Glassfire label rings. Compared Area critical price and became the area of above critical value and revised from RGB smooth anger and LAB images with LCFD system algorithm. The operational conversion image which is extracted like this executed a face territory detection in the object. In order to extract the feature which is necessary to a face detection used AdaBoost algorithms. The face territory remote login with the face territory which tilts in the present paper, until Multi-view face territory detections was possible. Also relationship without high detection rate seems in direction of illumination, With only the public PC application is possible was given proof user authentication field etc.
