This paper suggests a method to recognize facial expressions of animation characters by means of dominant colors and feature points. The proposed method defines a simplified mesh model adequate for the animation character and detects its face and facial components by using dominant colors. It also extracts edge-based feature points for each facial component. It then classifies the feature points into corresponding AUs(action units) through neural network, and finally recognizes character facial expressions with the suggested AU specification. Experimental results show that the suggested method can recognize facial expressions of animation characters reliably.

객체의 특징점을 추출할 때, 일반적으로 모델 기반 접근을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 모델 기반 특징점 추출 알고리즘으로 PCA를 근간으로 하는 Active Appearance Model을 이용하는데, 기존의 AAM 알고리즘은 모든 특징점을 하나의 군집으로 기준하여 PCA를 수행하지만 본 논문에서는 이것을 각 주요 부위별 학습 모델로 분리하여 수행한다. 그리고 이러한 모델에서 특징점을 찾을 때, 발산하는 문제에 빠지지 않기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 제시한 방법의 모델을 이용하여 실험 할 경우의 결과와 이를 통한 개별 모델의 특성에 대하여 파악한 결과를 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 동적얼굴영상으로부터 감정인식을 위해 벡터 표현 보다는 직접적인 텐서 표현으로 특징들을 추출하는 텐서 기반 다선형 주성분분석(MPCA: Multilinear Principal Component Analysis) 기법을 사용한다. 사람 6가지의 얼굴 표정을 사용하는데 한 사람의 각 표정마다 5프레임으로 묶어서 텐서 형태로 취하여 특징을 추출하고 인식한다. 시스템의 성능 평가는 CNU 얼굴 감정인식 데이터베이스를 이용하여 특징점 개수와 성능척도에 따른 실험을 수행하여 제시된 방법의 유용성에 관해 살펴본다.

In this paper, we describe an algorithm which can extract human faces with natural pose from complex backgrounds. This method basically adopts the concept that facial region has the nearly same gray level for all pixels within appropriately scaled blocks. Based on the idea, we develop a hierarchial process that first, a block image data with pyramid structure of input image is generated, and some candidate regions for facial regions in the block image are Quickly determined, then finally the detailed facial features; organs are decided. To find the features easily, we introduce a local gray level transform which emphasizes dark and small regions, and estimate the geometrical triangle constraints among the facial features. The merit of our method is that we can be freed from the parameter assignment problem since the algorithm utilize a simple brightness computation, consequently robust systems not being depended on specific parameter values can be easily constructed.

EBGM은 자세와 포즈, 조명 변화에 강인한 얼굴 인식 기법중의 하나이다. 하지만 EBGM을 통한 얼굴 인식 시스템은 얼굴의 특징점을 추출하기 위해 주어지는 초기값에 상당한 영향을 받는다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 얼굴의 윤곽 추출에 우수한 성능을 보이는 AAM을 통하여 EBGM의 초기값을 주고 EBGM을 통하여 개선하는 방법을 제안하였었다. 본 논문에서는 등록자마다 다른 경계값을 갖는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 경계값에 비해 성능의 향상이 어느 정도 이뤄지는가에 대해 다룰 것이다.

얼굴 인식은 생체인식 기술 중 비 강압식이라는 장점으로 인해 각광받고 있는 분야이다. 그러나 얼굴인식은 조명, 표정에 의해 인식 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 그 중 얼굴표정에 많은 영향을 받으며, 잡음이 많은 부분이 입술부분이다. 입술모양의 변화에 따라 가보벡터 추출에 잡음이 포함되기 때문에, 얼굴 인식 성능이 저하되는 현상이 발생됨을 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 입술모양의 변화에 따른 잡음을 줄이기 위해 입술영역에 최적화된 말스버그 가보 웨이브렛 커널(Malsburg Gabor Wavelet Kerne)을 제안한다. 각 입술 특징점에 말스 버그 가보 웨이브렛을 적용하여, 추출된 가보벡터를 통계적으로 분석함으로써 잡음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 잡음을 최소화하기 위해 입술 영역에 적응적인 말스버그 가보 웨이브렛 커널 을 제안하였다. 실험에 사용한 이미지는 1196 FERET Gellery 이미지를 사용하였으며, 얼굴 인식 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

As personal information is utilized as an important user authentication means, a trustable certification means is being required. Recently, a research on the biometrics system using a part of the human body like a password is being attempted a lot. The face recognition technology using characteristics of the personal face among several biometrics technologies is easy in extracting features. In this paper, we implement a face recognition system for unattended reception interface. Our method is performed by two steps. Firstly the face is extracted using Haar-like feature method. Secondly the method combining PCA and LDA for face recognition was used. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, it was tested and experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable for unattended reception interface.

AAM(Active Appearance Model) is an algorithm to extract face feature points with statistical models of shape and texture information based on PCA(Principal Component Analysis). This method is widely used for face recognition, face modeling and expression recognition. However, the detection performance of AAM algorithm is sensitive to initial value and the AAM method has the problem that detection error is increased when an input image is quite different from training data. Especially, the algorithm shows high accuracy in case of closed lips but the detection error is increased in case of opened lips and deformed lips according to the facial expression of user. To solve these problems, we propose the improved AAM algorithm using lip feature points which is extracted based on a new lip detection algorithm. In this paper, we select a searching region based on the face feature points which are detected by AAM algorithm. And lip corner points are extracted by using Canny edge detection and histogram projection method in the selected searching region. Then, lip region is accurately detected by combining color and edge information of lip in the searching region which is adjusted based on the position of the detected lip corners. Based on that, the accuracy and processing speed of lip detection are improved. Experimental results showed that the RMS(Root Mean Square) error of the proposed method was reduced as much as 4.21 pixels compared to that only using AAM algorithm.

In this paper, we propose vector-based face generation system that uses montage and shading method and preserves designer(artist)'s style. Proposed system generates character's face similar to human face automatically using facial features that extracted from a photograph. In addition, unlike previous face generation system that uses contours, we propose the system is based on color and composes face from facial features and shade extracted from a photograph. Thus, it has advantages that can make more realistic face similar to human face. Since this system is vector-based, the generated character's face has no size limit and constraint. Therefore it is available to transform the shape freely and to apply various facial expressions to 2D face. Moreover, it has distinctiveness with another approaches in point that can keep artist's impression just as it is in result.
