본 연구에서는 HCbCr 색 특징과 RBFNNs 패턴분류기를 이용하여 얼굴영상을 효과적으로 검출하고 인식하기 위한 방법에 대해 제안한다. 피부색을 검출하는 것은 계산이 빠르고 형태 변형에 강인하여 얼굴을 검출하기에 유용하지만 유사한 색을 갖는 다른 물체를 잘못 검출하기도 한다. 따라서 피부색 검출의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 HSI 색공간과 YCbCr 색공간으로부터 각각 H요소와 CbCr요소를 추출하고 이를 결합하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 각각의 피부색 후보 영역에 대하여 Haar-like 특징을 사용하여 눈을 검출함으로써 얼굴의 정확한 위치를 찾아냈다. 마지막으로 제안된 FCM 기반 RBFNNs 패턴분류기를 이용하여 얼굴 인식을 수행하였다. 또 Cambridge ICPR 영상 DB에 대하여 제안된 방법의 모의실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 제시하였다.

This paper designs an application for detecting various objects using a smart phone with camera sensor, then implements the application that detects the number of faces in front of a user by using the Face API provided by android and generates a speech to the user. For implementing the application, the GoF strategy pattern is applied to design the application. It provides some advantages; first, the algorithm development schedule can separate the whole application development schedule; next, it makes easier to add the algorithm. For example, another detecting algorithm for the other objects (character, motion detection) that may be developed in the future, or it may be replaced by a more high-performance algorithm. With the propose method, a general smart phone can make some advantages that can provide information of various objects (such as moving people and objects, and detected character from signboards) to the person who is visually impaired.

컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 눈동자 추적 기술은 Human-Computer Interface(HCI)의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 HCI 장치를 위한 눈동자 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기울어진 얼굴에서도 눈동자를 검출하기 위해 Principal Component Analysis(PCA) 방법을 이용하여 얼굴의 기울어진 정도를 검출하고 기울어진 정도를 이용하여 눈동자 영역의 위치를 계산한다. 최종적으로 눈 위치의 검출을 위해 눈동자 영역의 밝기 정보를 사용한다. FERET DB의 얼굴영상을 사용하여 실험한 결과, 기울어진 얼굴에서도 눈동자를 효과적으로 검출 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, This paper presents a new algorithm which is used for detecting and extracting human masks from a color still image. The regions where each pixel has a value of skin-color were extracted from the Cb and Cr images, after the tone of the color image is converted to YCbCr from. A morphological filter is used to eliminate noise in the resulting image. By scanning it in horizontal and vertical ways under ways under threshold value, first candidate section is chosen. If it is not a face, secondary candidate section is taken and is divided into two candidate sections. The proposed algorithm is not affected by the variation of illuminations, because it uses only Cb and Cr components in YCbCr color format. Moreover, the face recognition was possible regardless of the degree of shifting face, changed shape, various sizes of the face, and the quality of image.

This paper gives a review on three illumination issues of face tracking on smart phones: dark scenes, sudden lighting change and backlit effect. First, we propose a fast and robust face tracking method utilizing continuous adaptive mean shift algorithm (CAMSHIFT) and CbCr skin locus. Initially, the skin locus obtained from training video data. After that, a modified CAMSHIFT version based on the skin locus is accordingly provided. Second, we suggest an enhancement method to increase the chance of detecting faces, an important initialization step for face tracking, under dark illumination. The proposed method works comparably with traditional CAMSHIFT or particle filter, and outperforms these methods when dealing with our public video data with the three illumination issues mentioned above.

This paper proposes a face tracking algorithm for a viewpoint adaptive multi-view synthesis system. The original scene captured by a depth camera contains a texture image and 8 bit gray-scale depth map. From this original image, multi-view images that correspond to the viewer's position can be synthesized using geometrical transformations, such as rotation and translation. The proposed face tracking technique gives a motion parallax cue by different viewpoints and view angles. In the proposed algorithm, the viewer's dominant face, which is established initially from a camera, can be tracked using the statistical characteristics of face colors and deformable templates. As a result, a motion parallax cue can be provided by detecting the viewer's dominant face area and tracking it, even under a heterogeneous background, and synthesized sequences can be displayed successfully.

In this paper, We have designed a face recognition system based on the embedded Linux. This paper has an aim in embedded system to recognize the face more exactly. At first, the contrast of the face image is adjusted with lightening compensation method, the skin and lip color is founded based on YCbCr values from the compensated image. To take advantage of the method based on feature and appearance, these methods are applied to the eyes which has the most highly recognition rate of all the part of the human face. For eyes detecting, which is the most important component of the face recognition, we calculate the horizontal gradient of the face image and the maximum value. This part of the face is resized for fitting the eye image. The image, which is resized for fit to the eye image stored to be compared, is extracted to be the feature vectors using the continuous wavelet transform and these vectors are decided to be whether the same person or not with PNN, to miminize the error rate, the accuracy is analyzed due to the rotation or movement of the face. Also last part of this paper we represent many cases to prove the algorithm contains the feature vector extraction and accuracy of the comparison method.

Face detection is the first step in a wide range of face applications. However, detecting faces in the wild is still a challenging task due to the wide range of variations in pose, scale, and occlusions. Recently, many deep learning methods have been proposed for face detection. However, further improvements are required in the wild. Another important issue to be considered in the face detection is the computational complexity. Current state-of-the-art deep learning methods require a large number of patches to deal with varying scales and the arbitrary image sizes, which result in an increased computational complexity. To reduce the complexity while achieving better detection accuracy, we propose a fully convolutional network-based face detection that can take arbitrarily-sized input and produce feature maps (heat maps) corresponding to the input image size. To deal with the various face scales, a multi-scale network architecture that utilizes the facial components when learning the feature maps is proposed. On top of it, we design multi-task learning technique to improve detection performance. Extensive experiments have been conducted on the FDDB dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods with the accuracy of 82.33% at 517 false alarms, while improving computational efficiency significantly.

본 논문은 얼굴 검출을 이용한 숏의 유형을 판단하는 방법론을 제시한다. 클로즈 업 숏이나 미디엄 숏, 롱 숏과 같은 숏의 유형은 영화의 서사 구조를 파악하는 주요한 단서이다. 클로즈 업을 통해 감독은 등장인물의 감정 상태를 묘사하고 롱 숏을 통해 인물이 처한 상황이나 배경을 묘사하게 된다. 인물의 심리나 감정의 변화, 인물이 처한 상황을 묘사하는 숏의 여러 유형은 인물과 카메라의 거리에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 화면에 등장하는 인물의 얼굴 크기를 알아내어 숏의 유형을 판단할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 얼굴 검출을 통해 숏의 유형을 감지하는 방법론을 제시하고 시스템으로 구현하여 성능을 평가한다. 평가실험에서 클로즈 업 숏과 미디엄 숏의 감지 성능은 95%와 90%로 비교적 높게 나타났지만 얼굴의 윤곽이 불분명한 롱 숏의 경우 53.3%로 측정되었다.
