본 논문은 조명 변화, 표정 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 강인하고 적은 메모리양과 계산량을 갖는 효율적인 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. SKKUface(Sungkyunkwan University face)라 명명한 이 방법은 먼저 훈련 영상에 PCA(principal component analysis)를 적용하여 차원을 줄일 때 구해지는 특징 벡터 공간에서 조명 변화, 얼굴 표정 변화 등에 해당되는 공간이 최대한 제외된 새로운 특징 벡터 공간을 생성한다. 이러한 특징 벡터 공간은 얼굴의 고유특징만을 주로 포함하는 벡터 공간이므로 이러한 벡터 공간에 Fisher linear discriminant를 적용하면 클래스간의 더욱 효과적인 분리가 이루어져 인식률을 획기적으로 향상시킨다. 또한, SKKUface 방법은 클래스간 분산(between-class covariance) 행렬과 클래스내 분산(within-class covariance) 행렬을 계산할 때 문제가 되는 메모리양과 계산 시간을 획기적으로 줄이는 방법을 제안하여 적용하였다. 제안된 SKKUface 방법의 얼굴 인식 성능을 평가하기 위하여 YALE, SKKU, ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) 얼굴 데이타베이스를 가지고 기존의 얼굴 인식 방법으로 널리 알려진 Eigenface 방법, Fisherface 방법과 함께 인식률을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 SKKUface 방법이 조명 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 대해서 Eigenface 방법과 Fisherface 방법에 비해 인식률이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Natural User Interface(NUI) technologies introduce new trends in using devices such as computer and any other electronic devices. In this paper, an augmented reality on a mobile device is implemented by using face detection, recognition and motion tracking. The face detection is obtained by using Viola-Jones algorithm from the images of the front camera. The Eigenface algorithm is employed for face recognition and face motion tracking. The augmented reality is implemented by overlapping the rear camera image and GPS, accelerator sensors' data with the 3D graphic object which is correspond with the recognized face. The algorithms and methods are limited by the mobile device specification such as processing ability and main memory capacity.

We present a method that can recognize face images using independent component analysis that is used mainly for blind sources separation in signal processing. We assumed that a face image can be expressed as the sum of a set of statistically independent feature images, which was obtained by using independent component analysis. Face recognition was peformed by projecting the input image to the feature image space and then by comparing its projection components with those of stored reference images. We carried out face recognition experiments with a database that consists of various varied face images (total 400 varied facial images collected from 10 per person) and compared the performance of our method with that of the eigenface method based on principal component analysis. The presented method gave better results of recognition rate than the eigenface method did, and showed robustness to the random noise added in the input facial images.

본 논문에서는 얼굴인식을 위해 기존의 Fisherfaces와 퍼지개념을 도입한 퍼지 기반 Fisherfaces 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 얼굴인식 방법들은 학습영상에 해당되는 각 특징벡터에 대해 특정한 클래스를 할당하지만, 이와는 달리 제안된 방법은 각 특징벡터에 대해 퍼지 값으로 된 클래스 소속도를 부여하여 조명의 방향, 얼굴표정과 같은 큰 변화에 민감하지 않으면서도 닮은 얼굴 영상으로 인해 생기는 오분류(misclassification)의 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) 얼굴 데이터 베이스에 대해 적용하여 이전의 연구인 Eigenfaces와 Fisherfaces보다 더 좋은 인식성능을 보이고자 한다.

This paper proposed a recognition algorithm of human facial expressions using the PCA and the template matching. Firstly, face image is acquired using the Haar-like feature mask from an input image. The face image is divided into two images. One is the upper image including eye and eyebrow. The other is the lower image including mouth and jaw. The extraction of facial components, such as eye and mouth, begins getting eye image and mouth image. Then an eigenface is produced by the PCA training process with learning images. An eigeneye and an eigenmouth are produced from the eigenface. The eye image is obtained by the template matching the upper image with the eigeneye, and the mouth image is obtained by the template matching the lower image with the eigenmouth. The face recognition uses geometrical properties of the eye and mouth. The simulation results show that the proposed method has superior extraction ratio rather than previous results; the extraction ratio of mouth image is particularly reached to 99%. The face recognition system using the proposed method shows that recognition ratio is greater than 80% about three facial expressions, which are fright, being angered, happiness.

Robust face recognition under various illumination environments is difficult to achieve. For face recognition robust to illumination changes, usually face images are normalized with respect to illumination as a preprocessing step before face recognition. The anisotropic smoothing-based illumination normalization method, known to be one of the best illumination normalization methods, cannot handle casting shadows. In this paper, we present an efficient illumination normalization method for face recognition. The proposed illumination normalization method separates the effect of illumination from eigenfaces and constructs an illumination-separated eigenface subspace. Then, an incoming face image is projected into the subspace and the obtained projected face image is rendered so that illumination effects including casting shadows are reduced as much as possible. Application to real face images shows the proposed illumination normalization method.

The performance of face recognition is greatly affected by the illumination effect because intra-person variation under different lighting conditions can be much bigger than the inter-person variation. In this paper, we propose an illumination robust face recognition by separating identity factor and illumination factor using the symmetric bilinear models. The translation procedure in the bilinear model requires a repetitive computation of matrix inverse operation to reach the identity and illumination factors. Sometimes, this computation may result in a nonconvergent case when the observation has an noisy information. To alleviate this situation, we suggest a ridge regressive bilinear model that combines the ridge regression into the bilinear model. This combination provides some advantages: it makes the bilinear model more stable by shrinking the range of identity and illumination factors appropriately, and it improves the recognition performance by reducing the insignificant factors effectively. Experiment results show that the ridge regressive bilinear model outperforms significantly other existing methods such as the eigenface, quotient image, and the bilinear model in terms of the recognition rate under a variety of illuminations.

Currently, various security technologies such as fingerprint recognition and face recognition are being developed. However, although many technologies have been developed, the field of incorporating technologies is quite limited. In particular, it is easy to adapt modern security technologies into existing digital systems, but it is difficult to introduce new digital technologies in systems using analog systems. However, if the system can be widely used, it is worth replacing the analog system with the digital system. Therefore, the selected topic is the electronic attendance system. In this paper, a camera is installed to a door to perform a Haar-like feature training for face detecting and real-time face recognition with a Eigenface in principal component analysis(PCA) based face recognition using raspberry pi. The collected data was transmitted to the smartphone using wireless communication, and the application for the viewer who can receive and manage the information on the smartphone was completed.
