This paper proposed the face recognition method which can be effectively applied to the robot's vision system. The proposed algorithm is recognition using hue extraction and feature point. hue extraction was using difference of skin color, pupil color, lips color. Features information were extraction from eye, nose and mouth using feature parameters of the difference between the feature point, distance ratio, angle, area. Feature parameters fuzzified data with the data generated by membership function, then evaluate the degree of similarity was the face recognition. The result of experiment are conducted with frontal color images of face as input images the received recognition rate of 96%.

본 논문에서는 실험 영상으로부터 학습된 피부색상 정보를 이용하여 컬러 공간테이블을 생성한 후. 입력된 영상의 컬러와 공간정보를 학습된 피부색상 공간테이블로부터 비교, 분석하여 얼굴후보영역을 찾고자 하였다. 또한 추출된 후보영역의 레이블된 특징정보를 이용하여 지역적 특징을 찾아낸 후 얼굴 특징점의 위치에 따른 형태정보를 이용하여 신뢰할 수 있는 얼굴 영역을 검출하고자 하였다. 제안된 피부색상(Skin-tone)공간테이블은 변환하기 쉽고 계산이 빠른 RGB컬러 공간에서 실험, 평가되었으며, 실시간으로 입력된 영상의 정규화된 책상 값을 유사성 정도에 따라 레이블링하여 보다 빠른 얼굴 후보 영역의 검출과 검증을 할 수 있도록 하였다.

The vision-based driver fatigue detection is one of the most prospective commercial applications of facial expression recognition technology. The facial feature tracking is the primary technique issue in it. Current facial tracking technology faces three challenges: (1) detection failure of some or all of features due to a variety of lighting conditions and head motions; (2) multiple and non-rigid object tracking; and (3) features occlusion when the head is in oblique angles. In this paper, we propose a new active approach. First, the active IR sensor is used to robustly detect pupils under variable lighting conditions. The detected pupils are then used to predict the head motion. Furthermore, face movement is assumed to be locally smooth so that a facial feature can be tracked with a Kalman filter. The simultaneous use of the pupil constraint and the Kalman filtering greatly increases the prediction accuracy for each feature position. Feature detection is accomplished in the Gabor space with respect to the vicinity of predicted location. Local graphs consisting of identified features are extracted and used to capture the spatial relationship among detected features. Finally, a graph-based reliability propagation is proposed to tackle the occlusion problem and verify the tracking results. The experimental results show validity of our active approach to real-life facial tracking under variable lighting conditions, head orientations, and facial expressions.

얼굴 이미지의 대부분은 표본의 수보다 특징 변수의 수가 많기 때문에 이러한 점을 고려한 특징 추출 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 부분 최소제곱법을 이용하여 특징 벡터의 차원을 축소하는 방법을 제안한다. 전통적인 차원 축소 방법인 주성분 분석은 클래스의 정보를 고려하지 않고 최대 변이를 가지는 성분을 추출하기 때문에, 클래스의 구분에 필요한 특징을 필수적으로 추출하지 못한다. 이에 비해, 부분 최소제곱법은 클래스 변수에 대한 정보를 포함하여 성분을 추출한다. 그러므로, 분류를 하는데 있어서는 주성분 분석에 의해 추출된 성분보다는 부분 최소제곱법에 의해 추출된 성분이 보다 더 예측적이다. 맨체스터와 ORL 얼굴 데이터베이스를 이용하여 실험한 결과, 분류와 차원 축소 측면에서 주성분 분석 방법보다는 부분 최소제곱법을 이용한 방법이 그 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Face is considered to be one of the biometrics in person identification. But Face recognition is a high dimensional pattern recognition problem. Even low-resolution face images generate huge dimensional feature space. The aim of this paper is to present a fast feature extraction method for real time human face recognition. first, It compute eigen-vector and eigen-value by Principle component analysis on inputed human face image, and propose method of feature extraction that make feature vector by apply gabor filter to computed eigen-vector. And it compute feature value which multiply by made eigen-value. This study simulations performed using the ORL Database.

The accuracy of a real facial recognition system can be varied according to the accuracy of the eye detection algorithm when we design and implement a semi-automatic facial recognition algorithm depending on the eye position of a database. In this paper, a fully automatic facial recognition algorithm is proposed such that Gabor and LBP features are extracted from fiducial points of a face graph which was created by using fiducial points based on the eyes, nose, mouth and border lines of a face, fitted on the face image. In this algorithm, the recognition performance could be increased because a face graph can be fitted on a face image automatically and fiducial points based LPB features are implemented with the basic Gabor features. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in real-time recognition for more than 1,000 faces and produce good recognition performance for each data set.

본 논문에서는 CCCD 카메라로부터 획득한 영상시퀀스들에서 인접한 두 영상 사이의 차영상과 얼굴이 가지는 컬러정보를 이용하여 분리한 얼굴 영역에서 양쪽 눈과 입의 위치좌표를 특징점으로 이용하여 입력된 얼굴에 자동정합된 변형가능 템플리트(deformable template)를 가지고 연속된 다음 프레임에서 얼굴 전체를 트래킹하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 실제 입력영상의 얼굴 영역과 변형 가능 템플리트의 차이를 비교하기 위해 텍스쳐 매핑(Texture mapping)을 도입하여 트래킹의 정확도를 살펴본다.

인터넷 쇼핑몰, 오프라인 매장에서 구입한 제품의 포토 리뷰를 블로그, 쇼핑몰에 올릴 때 얼굴 노출을 꺼려하여 직접 사진 처리 프로그램 등을 통해 얼굴을 가리거나 사진을 얼굴 부분까지 잘라 내는 등의 번거로운 작업을 거친 후 올리게 된다. 위와 같은 불편함을 해결하기 위해 쇼핑몰, 블로그 등 인터넷 매체를 통해 포토 리뷰를 작성 할 때 얼굴이 포함된 사진을 올리더라도 자동으로 얼굴 인식 후 의상에 어울리는 소품을 합성하여 구매자가 포토 리뷰를 올리기 편한 환경을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기본적인 얼굴 추적과 얼굴 특징 점을 기반으로 한 안경과 같은 소품 합성 등이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 실시간으로 얼굴 및 특징점을 추출하고 이를 기반으로 얼굴에 소품을 합성하는 기본 기능을 구현하였다.

In this study, we developed a 3D facial modeler and animator that will not use the existing method by 3D scanner or camera. Without expensive image-input equipments, we can easily create 3D models only using front and side images. The system is available to animate 3D facial models as we connect to animation server on the WWW which is independent from specific platforms and softwares. It was implemented using Java 3D API. The facial modeler detects MPEG-4 FDP(Facial Definition Parameter) feature points from 2D input images, creates 3D facial model modifying generic facial model with the points. The animator animates and renders the 3D facial model according to MPEG-4 FAP(Facial Animation Parameter). This system can be used for generating an avatar on WWW.
