Viola & Jones의 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 대표적인 얼굴 검출 알고리즘으로 매우 우수한 얼굴 검출 성능을 보인다. 그러나 많은 얼굴을 포함하는 영상들을 대상으로 한 Viola & Jones 알고리즘은 얼굴의 다양성으로 미검출 얼굴들, 가짜 얼굴들과 중복 검출된 얼굴들 같은 잘못 검출된 얼굴들을 발생시킨다. 본 논문은 Viola & Jones 알고리즘에서 생성된 잘못 검출된 얼굴들을 제거하는 얼굴 검증 알고리즘을 이용한 개선된 얼굴 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 얼굴 검증 알고리즘은 검출된 얼굴들에 대한 크기, 지정된 영역의 피부색, 눈과 입에서 발생된 에지, 중복 검출을 평가하여 얼굴이 유효한지를 확인한다. Viola & Jones 알고리즘에 의해 검출된 658개의 얼굴 영상들을 대상으로 한 얼굴 검증 실험에서 제안된 얼굴 검증 알고리즘은 실제 사람들에 의해 생성된 모든 얼굴 영상들을 검증하는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper, a face recognition algorithm system using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is proposed. The algorithm recognized a person by comparing characteristics (features) of the face to those of known individuals of Intelligent Control Laboratory (ICONL) face database. Simulations are carried out to investigate the algorithm recognition performance, which classified the face as a face or non-face and then classified it as known or unknown one. Particularly, a Principal Components of Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA + LDA) face recognition algorithm is also proposed in order to confirm the recognition performances and the adaptability of a proposed PCA for a certain specific system.

This paper proposes a face tracking scheme that is a combination of a face detection algorithm and a face tracking algorithm. The proposed face detection algorithm basically uses the Adaboost algorithm, but the amount of search area is dramatically reduced, by using skin color and motion information in the depth map. Also, we propose a face tracking algorithm that uses a template matching method with depth information only. It also includes an early termination scheme, by a spiral search for template matching, which reduces the operation time with small loss in accuracy. It also incorporates an additional simple refinement process to make the loss in accuracy smaller. When the face tracking scheme fails to track the face, it automatically goes back to the face detection scheme, to find a new face to track. The two schemes are experimented with some home-made test sequences, and some in public. The experimental results are compared to show that they outperform the existing methods in accuracy and speed. Also we show some trade-offs between the tracking accuracy and the execution time for broader application.

In this paper, face recognition algorithm, by using skin color information of HSI color coordinate collected from face images, elliptical mask, fratures of face including eyes, nose and mouth, and geometrical feature vectors of face and facial angles, is proposed. The proposed algorithm improved face region extraction efficacy by using HSI information relatively similar to human's visual system along with color tone information about skin colors of face, elliptical mask and intensity information. Moreover, it improved face recognition efficacy with using feature information of eyes, nose and mouth, and Θ1(ACRED), Θ2(AMRED) and Θ 3(ANRED), which are geometrical face angles of face. In the proposed algorithm, it enables exact face reading by using color tone information, elliptical mask, brightness information and structural characteristic angle together, not like using only brightness information in existing algorithm. Moreover, it uses structural related value of characteristics and certain vectors together for the recognition method.

A face recognition algorithm for the user identification procedure of automatic teller machine(ATM), as an application of the still image processing techniques is proposed in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, face recognition techniques, especially, face region detection, eye and mouth detection schemes, which can distinguish abnormal faces from normal faces, are proposed. We define normal face, which is acceptable, as a face without sunglasses or a mask, and abnormal face, which is non-acceptable, as that wearing both, or either one of them. The proposed face recognition algorithm is composed of three stages: the face region detection stage, the preprocessing stage for facial feature detection and the eye and mouth detection stage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can distinguish abnormal faces from normal faces accurately from restrictive sample images.

Human face avatar is important information in nowadays, such as describing real people in virtual world. In this paper, we have presented a face avatar creation and warping algorithm by using face feature analysis method, in order to detect face feature, we utilized local mean method based on facial feature appearance and face geometric information. Then detect facial candidates by using it's character in $YC_bC_r$ color space. Meanwhile, we also defined the rules which are based on face geometric information to limit searching range. For analyzing face feature, we used face feature points to describe their feature, and analyzed geometry relationship of these feature points to create the face avatar. Then we have carried out simulation on PC and embed mobile device such as PDA and mobile phone to evaluate efficiency of the proposed algorithm. From the simulation results, we can confirm that our proposed algorithm will have an outstanding performance and it's execution speed can also be acceptable.

Face recognition is a science of automatically identifying individuals based their unique facial features. In order to avoid overfitting and reduce the computational reduce the computational burden, a new face recognition algorithm using PCA-fisher linear discriminant (PCA-FLD) and fuzzy radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed in this paper. First, face features are extracted by the principal component analysis (PCA) method. Then, the extracted features are further processed by the Fisher's linear discriminant technique to acquire lower-dimensional discriminant patterns, the processed features will be considered as the input of the fuzzy RBFNN. As a widely applied algorithm in fuzzy RBF neural network, BP learning algorithm has the low rate of convergence, therefore, an improved learning algorithm based on Levenberg-Marquart (L-M) for fuzzy RBF neural network is introduced in this paper, which combined the Gradient Descent algorithm with the Gauss-Newton algorithm. Experimental results on the ORL face database demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has satisfactory performance and high recognition rate.

본 논문은 AdaBoost(Adaptive Boosting)알고리즘을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 검출 및 추적에 패한 기법을 제안한다. 얼굴 검출은 8종류의 간단한 웨이블릿 특징 모형을 이용한다. 각각의 특징들은 $20{\times}20$의 훈련 영상에서 다양한 크기와 위치로 배치되어 초기의 특징 집합을 구성한다. 초기의 특징 집합과 훈련 영상은 AdaBoost알고리즘의 입력으로 사용된다. AdaBoost알고리즘의 기본원리는 약한 분류기를 선형적으로 결합하여 최종적으로는 계층적 구조를 갖는 강한 분류기론 생성하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 AdaBoost알고리즘에서 훈련 영상과 초기의 특징 집합 간에 이루어지는 반복적 계산량을 줄이기 위해 SAT(Summed-Area Table) 기법을 이용하였다. 얼굴 추적은 Pan-Tilt카메라를 통해 동적으로 가시 영역을 확장해 가면서 검출된 영역의 위치와 크기정보를 이용하여 실시간으로 이루어진다. 검출된 얼굴 영역의 중심을 전체 영상의 중심으로 이동하는 방법을 사용하였다. 실험결과 92.5%의 얼굴 검출율과 평균 12프레임의 얼굴 추적속도를 얻었다.
