As society develops, the importance of safety for individuals and facilities in public places is getting higher. Not only the areas such as the existing parking lot, bank and factory which require security or crime prevention but also individual houses as well as general institutions have the trend to increase investment in guard and security. This study suggests face feature extract and the method to simply divide face region and head region that are import for face recognition by using color transform. First of all, it is to divide face region by using color transform of Y image of YIQ image and head image after dividing head region with K image among CMYK image about input image. Then, it is to extract features of face by using labeling after Log calculation to head image. The clearly divided head and face region can easily classify the shape of head and face and simply find features. When the algorism of the suggested method is utilized, it is expected that security related facilities that require importance can use it effectively to guard or recognize people.

In this paper, a new practical implementation of a person verification system using features of longitudinal section and transection and other facial, rotation compensated 3D face image, is proposed. The approach works by finding the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face. In feature recognition of 3D face image, one has to take into consideration the orientated frontal posture to normalize. Next, the special points in regions, such as nose, eyes and mouth are detected. The depth of nose, the area of nose and the volume of nose based both on the 3 longitudinal section and a transection are calculated. The eye interval and mouth width are also computed. Finally, the 12 features on the face were extracted. The Ll measure for comparing two feature vectors were used, because it is simple and robust. In the experimental results, proposed method achieves recognition rate of 95.5% for the longitudinal section and transection.

As personal information is utilized as an important user authentication means, a trustable certification means is being required. The face identification technology using characteristics of the personal face among several biometrics technologies is easy in extracting features. In this paper, we implement a face identification robot for unattended reception. The robot is performed by face identification. To assess the effectiveness of the robot, it was tested and experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable for unattended reception interface.

The necessity of research on extracting information of face and facial components in animation characters have been increasing since they can effectively express the emotion and personality of characters. In this paper, we introduce a method to extract face and facial components of animation characters by defining a mesh model adequate for characters and by using dominant colors. The suggested algorithm first generates a mesh model for animation characters, and extracts dominant colors for face and facial components by adapting the mesh model to the face of a model character. Then, using the dominant colors, we extract candidate areas of the face and facial components from input images and verify if the extracted areas are real face or facial components by means of color similarity measure. The experimental results show that our method can reliably detect face and facial components of animation characters.

본원적 큐브란 사용자의 얼굴을 다각면에서 추출하여 주성분분석(PCA: Principal component analysis)을 통해 다차원 정보를 통합하여 큐브형태로 표현된 것을 의미한다. 두 눈의 연결점과 입의 연결점을 이은 후 그 둘의 법선벡터를 얼굴의 방향으로 표현하는 것으로써 평면 사진에 얼굴방향을 부여한다. 그럴 경우 동일인물의 다양한 사진들을 모았을 경우 각 사진들이 얼굴방향을 달리하는 사진큐브로 표현될 수 있다. 이로써 기존에는 얼굴방향이 다른 동일인물의 사진을 정확하게 구분해 낼 수 없던 한계를 뛰어넘을 수 있다. 또한 큐브는 방향이 조금씩 다른 모든 사진을 저장할 필요가 없으므로 저장공간이 크게 절감되는 장점이 있다. 또한 단체 사진에서 개인의 이미지를 추출한 뒤 본 연구의 큐브와 매칭시켜 인물을 탐색하거나 소유한 이미지를 공유하는 기법을 포함한다. 결과적으로 큐브를 활용하여 효과적으로 인물탐색이 가능 해지는 것이다.

Depth information is one of the most important factor for the recognition of a digital face image. Range images are very useful, when comparing one face with other faces, because of implicating depth information. As the processing for the whole fare produces a lot of calculations and data, face images ran be represented in terms of a vector of feature descriptors for a local area. In this paper, depth areas of a 3 dimensional(3D) face image were extracted by the contour line from some depth value. These were resampled and stored in consecutive location in feature vector using multiple feature method. A comparison between two faces was made based on their distance in the feature space, using Euclidian distance. This paper reduced the number of index data in the database and used fewer feature vectors than other methods. Proposed algorithm can be highly recognized for using local depth information and less feature vectors or the face.

Spin images representing efficiently surface features of 3D mesh models have been used to detect facial landmark points. However, at a certain point, different normal direction can lead to quite different spin images. Moreover, since 3D points are projected to the 2D (${\alpha}-{\beta}$) space during spin image generation, surface features cannot be described clearly. In this paper, we present a method to detect 3D facial landmark using improved spin images by partitioning the search area with respect to angle. By generating sub-spin images for angular partitioned 3D spaces, more unique features describing corresponding surfaces can be obtained, and improve the performance of landmark detection. In order to generate spin images robust to inaccurate surface normal direction, we utilize on averaging surface normal with its neighboring normal vectors. The experimental results show that the proposed method increases the accuracy in landmark detection by about 34% over a conventional method.
