동영상 강의는 시간이나 장소 등에 크게 구애받지 않고 인터넷을 통하여 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 간편한 학습방법중의 하나이다. 그러나 학습자의 학습자세와 태도에 따라 학습효과는 매우 다를 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력영상으로부터 학습자의 얼굴정보를 입력받아 주기적으로 탐색하여 학습자의 강의에 대한 집중도와 충실도를 평가하는 시스템을 제안하고자 하였다. 먼저 입력영상의 분할된 중심영역으로부터 학습자의 얼굴을 포함하는 신체정보를 입력받아 사용하였으며, 빠르고 효율적인 얼굴영역의 추출을 위하여 피부색상(skin-color)정보와 얼굴의 지역적 특성을 이용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 또한 주기적으로 입력되는 영상의 빠른 얼굴추적을 위하여 설정된 영역들로부터 구성되는 블록들의 위치와 구성정보를 이용한 블록탐색 기법을 사용하였다.

최근 얼굴검출에 관한 연구는 FPGA를 통한 H/W설계부터 DSP, GPU, ARM Core에 효율적인 S/W 설계까지 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Multi-Core에 효과적인 얼굴검출 방법을 제안한다. 피부색을 통한 얼굴 후보를 추출하고 그 외의 배경 이미지는 삭제하여 연산처리를 빠르게 하였다. Viola-Jones가 제안한 얼굴검출 알고리즘을 POSIX Thread를 사용하여 병렬 처리하였고 그 성능을 단일 코어와 멀티코어에서 측정하였다. 단일 코어에서는 성능의 향상이 없었으나 멀티코어에서는 약 1.8배 속도가 향상되었고 검출 성공률은 기존과 동일하였다.

The situation of technology Predominance and the distribution of core technology were visually mapped thorough the investigation of technical trend during 20 years, which was provided with the analysis of patent information for the artificial skin. Therefore, it was expected that technology mapping by means of multilateral analysis method allowed a good grasp of current technology trend of the artificial skin and the subdivision into nation and a field of research presents the direction of R&D. In the early R&D stage of artificial skin, the preparation technology of filters implantable into the living body including nursing devices, bandages, and dressings or absorbent pads (A6IF-002/10) was on the rise in research field of artificial skin until 1980's. And then the materials technology for coating prostheses (A6l L-027/00)was leading the core technology of artificial skin. Also, Nowadays the fusion technology connected the material technology with the cultivation technology of undifferentiated human or animal cells/tissues including culture media (C l2N-005/00, C 12N-005/06) was highlighted all over the world.

It is very important to extract the expression data and capture a face image from a video for online-based 3D face animation. In recently, there are many researches on vision-based approach that captures the expression of an actor in a video and applies them to 3D face model. In this paper, we propose an automatic data extraction system, which extracts and traces a face and expression data from realtime video inputs. The procedures of our system consist of three steps: face detection, face feature extraction, and face tracing. In face detection, we detect skin pixels using YCbCr skin color model and verifies the face area using Haar-based classifier. We use the brightness and color information for extracting the eyes and lips data related facial expression. We extract 10 feature points from eyes and lips area considering FAP defined in MPEG-4. Then, we trace the displacement of the extracted features from continuous frames using color probabilistic distribution model. The experiments showed that our system could trace the expression data to about 8fps.

Low-cost, ultra-high-speed cameras, made possible by the development of image sensors and small displays, can be very useful in image processing and pattern recognition. This paper introduces an algorithm that corrects irregular lighting from a high-speed image that is continuously input with a slight time interval, and which then obtains an exposed skin color region that is the area of interest in a person from the corrected image. In this study, the non-uniform lighting effect from a received high-speed image is first corrected using a frame blending technique. Then, the region of interest is robustly obtained from the input high-speed color image by applying an elliptical skin color distribution model generated from iterative learning in advance. Experimental results show that the approach presented in this paper corrects illumination in various types of color images, and then accurately acquires the region of interest. The algorithm proposed in this study is expected to be useful in various types of practical applications related to image recognition, such as face recognition and tracking, lighting correction, and video indexing and retrieval.

Extracting hand region from images is the first part in the process to recognize hand posture and gesture interaction. Therefore, a good segmenting method is important because it determines the overall performance of hand recognition systems. Conventional hand segmentation researches were prone to changing illumination conditions or limited to the ability to detect multiple people. In this paper, we propose a robust technique based on the fusion of skin-color data and depth information for hand segmentation process. The proposed algorithm uses skin-color data to localize accurate seed location for region-growing from a complicated background. Based on the seed location, our algorithm adjusts each detected blob to fill up the hole region. A region-growing algorithm is applied to the adjusted blob boundary at the detected depth image to obtain a robust hand region against illumination effects. Also, the resulting hand region is used to train our skin-model adaptively which further reduces the effects of changing illumination. We conducted experiments to compare our results with conventional techniques which validates the robustness of the proposed algorithm and in addition we show our method works well even in a counter light condition.

The purpose of this paper is to design the metal object detection system for drive inside protection. To do this, we propose the algorithm for designing the color filter that can detect the metal object using fuzzy theory and the algorithm for detecting area of the driver's face using fuzzy skin color filter. Also, by using the proposed algorithm, we propose the algorithm for detecting the metallic object candidate regions. And, the metallic object color filter is then applied to find the candidate regions. Finally, we show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

Due to the prolonged aftermath of COVID-19, the number of modern people suffering from stress and mental illness is increasing. Recently, various methods of color therapy are being studied using LED lighting to improve concentration, relieve stress, manage skin, and improve sleep quality. In this paper, pulse waves are measured and heart rate variability is extracted using a PPG (Photoplethysmogram) sensor to analyze a person's mental and physical state. Using RGBLED and Arduino, we propose a mood lighting system that automatically changes colors according to changes in mental and physical conditions by producing color lighting of various wavelengths, which are mainly used to stabilize the mental state.
