얼굴의 특징점 추적은 많은 응용프로그램에서 사용된다. AAM기반의 접근방식은 정교한 얼굴 특징점 정보를 제공하지만 정확한 특징 점 추출을 위해 얼굴 모양 파라미터 초기화 문제와 연속 영상에서 얼굴의 이동이 클 경우 모션 보정에 대한 문제가 여전히 남아있다. 이러한 문제를 풀기 위해 본 논문에서는 CAMShift를 사용해 얼굴 영역을 추적하고, 얼굴 영역 내에서 입을 검출함으로써 AAM 검색을 위한 얼굴 모양 파라미터를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘과의 비교 실험을 통해 얼굴의 움직임이 심한 상황에서도 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능이 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 심도(Depth) 카메라로부터 실시간 획득한 RGBD 데이터에서 심도 정보 기반의 AAM(Active Appearance Models)과 나이 인식 알고리즘[1]을 통해 4 개의 AG(Age Group)으로 분류하는 실시간 얼굴 나이 인식 시스템(Real-time Facial Age Recognition System)을 설계한다. 기존의 AAM 을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 특징 추출은 평균 약 4.17%의 프레임 손실율을 보였으나, 심도 정보를 활용한 AAM 은 평균 약 0.43%의 프레임 손실율만을 보였다[5]. 본 논문에서는 심도 정보를 활용한 AAM과 병렬 처리 방법인 CUDA 를 결합하여 나이 특징을 추출하고, 실시간 시스템에 적용 가능하도록 나이 인식 알고리즘을 개선하여 실시간 나이 인식 시스템을 설계한다. 설계된 시스템은 1)머리 위치 추적, 2)얼굴 인식 및 특징점 추출, 3)나이 특징 추출, 4) 나이 특징 분석, 5) 나이 분류의 5 가지 단계를 통해 최종적으로 4 개의 AG 로 분류한다.

Indonesia's Keplauan Liau region is facing limitations in the development of connected transportation infrastructure due to its archipelago nature, budget constraints, and lack of land. Transportation demand is increasing due to its strategic location in the Malacca Strait Business Triangle and many tourist visits from Singapore and Malaysia. However, due to the nature of connecting many islands, the establishment of transportation infrastructure has not been achieved. This paper aims to predict the innovations that can be brought about by the introduction of advanced air mobility (AAM) with an electric vertical take-off and landing (e-VTOL) system through analysis and application consideration of the actual situation in Indonesia's Kepulauan Liau region. In addition, it intends to contribute to national-level review and policy establishment on the establishment of innovative transportation infrastructure using AAM, reflection in infrastructure construction plans, and active global cooperation.

As a key mechanism of the human emotion interaction, Facial Expression is a powerful tools in HRI(Human Robot Interface) such as Human Computer Interface. By using a facial expression, we can bring out various reaction correspond to emotional state of user in HCI(Human Computer Interaction). Also it can infer that suitable services to supply user from service agents such as intelligent robot. In this article, We addresses the issue of expressive face modeling using an advanced active appearance model for facial emotion recognition. We consider the six universal emotional categories that are defined by Ekman. In human face, emotions are most widely represented with eyes and mouth expression. If we want to recognize the human's emotion from this facial image, we need to extract feature points such as Action Unit(AU) of Ekman. Active Appearance Model (AAM) is one of the commonly used methods for facial feature extraction and it can be applied to construct AU. Regarding the traditional AAM depends on the setting of the initial parameters of the model and this paper introduces a facial emotion recognizing method based on which is combined Advanced AAM with Bayesian Network. Firstly, we obtain the reconstructive parameters of the new gray-scale image by sample-based learning and use them to reconstruct the shape and texture of the new image and calculate the initial parameters of the AAM by the reconstructed facial model. Then reduce the distance error between the model and the target contour by adjusting the parameters of the model. Finally get the model which is matched with the facial feature outline after several iterations and use them to recognize the facial emotion by using Bayesian Network.

Incorporation of polar functional moieties into polyethylene (PE) film has been achieved by graft copolymerization of polar monomers such as methacrylic acid (MAAc) and acrylamide (AAm) on to PE film, preirradiated with ${\gamma}$-rays from $^{60}Co$ source, using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator in aqueous medium. Percentage of grafting of MAAc and AAm was determined as a function of irradiation dose, monomer and initiator concentration, temperature, reaction time and amount of water. Maximum percentage of grafting of MAAc (1453%) and AAm (21.28%) was obtained at [MAAc] = $235.3{\times}10^{-2}$ mol/L, [AAm] = $23.4{\times}10^{-2}$ mol/L, [BPO] = $5.5{\times}10^{-2}$ mol/L and $16.5{\times}10^{-2}$ mol/L at $80^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$ in 180 min and 90 min respectively. The grafted PE films were characterized by FTIR, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) Scanning Electron Micrography (SEM) and X-ray diffraction methods. Some selective properties of grafted films such as swelling behavior, ion and metal uptake have been carried out. The biodegradation studies of the grafted PE films have also been investigated. The grafted films developed superior swelling behavior with maximum swelling (480%) in water as compared to pristine PE (13.55%), better thermal stability and ion and metal uptake studies showed promising results that can be effectively used for desalination of brackish water and separation of metals from the industrial effluents.

A 3D face shape derived from 2D images may be useful in many applications, such as face recognition, face synthesis and human computer interaction. To do this, we develop a fast 3D Active Appearance Model (3D-AAM) method using depth estimation. The training images include specific 3D face poses which are extremely different from one another. The landmark's depth information of landmarks is estimated from the training image sequence by using the approximated Jacobian matrix. It is added at the test phase to deal with the 3D pose variations of the input face. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently fit the face shape, including the variations of facial expressions and 3D pose variations, better than the typical AAM, and can estimate accurate 3D face shape from images.

At present, deep convolution network-based salient object detection (SOD) has achieved impressive performance. However, it is still a challenging problem to make full use of the multi-scale information of the extracted features and which appropriate feature fusion method is adopted to process feature mapping. In this paper, we propose a new adjacency auxiliary network (AANet) based on multi-scale feature fusion for SOD. Firstly, we design the parallel connection feature enhancement module (PFEM) for each layer of feature extraction, which improves the feature density by connecting different dilated convolution branches in parallel, and add channel attention flow to fully extract the context information of features. Then the adjacent layer features with close degree of abstraction but different characteristic properties are fused through the adjacent auxiliary module (AAM) to eliminate the ambiguity and noise of the features. Besides, in order to refine the features effectively to get more accurate object boundaries, we design adjacency decoder (AAM_D) based on adjacency auxiliary module (AAM), which concatenates the features of adjacent layers, extracts their spatial attention, and then combines them with the output of AAM. The outputs of AAM_D features with semantic information and spatial detail obtained from each feature are used as salient prediction maps for multi-level feature joint supervising. Experiment results on six benchmark SOD datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms similar previous methods.

강인한 얼굴 인식 시스템을 만들기 위해서는 안경의 제거가 중요한 요소이다. 이를 위해서는 뛰어난 성능의 안경 검출 방법이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 안경의 유무 판단에 관한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 영상은 조명 부분과 반사부분의 곱으로 이루어져 있다. 얼굴의 경우 안경 고유의 반사계수와 얼굴 고유의 반사계수가 다른 점에 착안하여 anisotropic smoothing 방법을 이용하여 입력 얼굴 영상에서의 반사 부분을 얻고, 이를 이용하여 안경의 반사 부분을 얼굴의 반사부분에서 검출한 뒤 이진화한다. 이후, 이진화 된 안경 픽셀 수를 이용하여 안경의 유무를 판단한다.

The Active Appearance Model (AAM) is a class of deformable models, which, in the segmentation process, integrates the priori knowledge on the shape and the texture and deformation of the structures studied. This model in its sequential form is computationally intensive and operates on large data sets. This paper presents another framework to implement the standard version of the AAM model. We suggest a distributed and parallel approach justified by the characteristics of the model and their potentialities. We introduce a schema for the representation of the overall model and we study of operations that can be parallelized. This approach is intended to exploit the benefits build in the area of advanced image processing.

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.
