  • In Facial Expression Recognition Systems (FERS), only particular regions of the face are utilized for discrimination. The areas of the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth are the most important features in any FERS. Applying facial features descriptors such as the local binary pattern (LBP) on such areas results in an effective and efficient FERS. In this paper, we propose an automatic facial expression recognition system. Unlike other systems, it detects and extracts the informative and discriminant regions of the face (i.e., eyes, nose, and mouth areas) using Haar-feature based cascade classifiers and these region-based features are stored into separate image files as a preprocessing step. Then, LBP is applied to these image files for facial texture representation and a feature-vector per subject is obtained by concatenating the resulting LBP histograms of the decomposed region-based features. The one-vs.-rest SVM, which is a popular multi-classification method, is employed with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) for facial expression classification. Experimental results show that this approach yields good performance for both frontal and near-frontal facial images in terms of accuracy and time complexity. Cohn-Kanade and JAFFE, which are benchmark facial expression datasets, are used to evaluate this approach.

  • We proposed a method for locating of mouth using deformable templates, described by a parameterized template. An energy function is defined which links, edges, peaks, valleys in image intensity to corresponding properties of the template. The template deforms itself by altering its parameter values to minimize the energy function. The minimized energy function's parameter values can be used as descriptors for the feature. We propose a method for locating mouth fast, accurately by limiting a range of parameters' value and getting initial value of parameters' by preprocessing.

  • In this paper, we propose a smoker recognition algorithm, detecting smokers in a video sequence in order to prevent fire accidents. We use description-based method in hierarchical approaches to recognize smoker's activity, the algorithm consists of background subtraction, object detection, event search, event judgement. Background subtraction generates slow-motion and fast-motion foreground image from input image using Gaussian mixture model with two different learning-rate. Then, it extracts object locations in the slow-motion image using chain-rule based contour detection. For each object, face is detected by using Haar-like feature and smoke is detected by reflecting frequency and direction of smoke in fast-motion foreground. Hand movements are detected by motion estimation. The algorithm examines the features in a certain interval and infers that whether the object is a smoker. It robustly can detect a smoker among different objects while achieving real-time performance.

  • In this paper, we compare face recognition rate by distance change using Principal Component Analysis algorithm being input left and right image in stereo image. Change to YCbCr color space from RGB color space in proposed method and face region does detection. Also, after acquire distance using stereo image extracted face image's extension and reduce do extract robust face region, experimented recognition rate by using PCA algorithm. Could get face recognition rate of 98.61%(30cm), 98.91%(50cm), 99.05%(100cm), 99.90%(120cm), 97.31%(150cm) and 96.71%(200cm) by average recognition result of acquired face image. Therefore, method that is proposed through an experiment showed that can get high recognition rate if apply scale up or reduction according to distance.

  • 본 논문은 복잡한 배경에서의 얼굴 검출에 있어서 다중 특징 추출 데이터로 학습한 계단식 분류기에 의한 방법을 제안한다 얼굴 검출에서 얼굴의 패턴은 상당히 다양한 영상 표현으로 나타나기 때문에 하나의 특징 추출 방법은 사람의 얼굴을 모델링 하기에는 부족하다. 따라서 여기서는 얼굴의 전체적인 지역적인 특징을 나타내는 Subregion과, 얼굴의 주파수 특성에 따라 좀 더 세밀하고 다양한 속성들을 나타내는 Haar 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 다중으로 특징을 추출하여 효과적인 모델링을 시도하였다. 특징을 추출한 얼굴과 비얼굴의 패턴(pattern)을 구분하기 위해서 패턴들의 통계적인 특성을 이용하여 각 추출방법에 맞게 학습된 Bayesian 분류기를 직렬로 연결하여 사용하였으며 비얼굴은 얼굴과 유사한 비얼굴(face-like nonface) 패턴들을 사용하여 모델링 하였다. 제안한 얼굴 검출 방식의 성능은 MIT-CMU 시험 영상들을 이용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 한 가지 특징 추출을 사용하는 것 보다 두 가지 특징 추출을 병행한 계단식 구성이 더 정확한 검출 결과를 나타내었다.

  • Expressive face and human body gestures are among the main non-verbal communication channels in human-human interaction. Understanding human emotions through body gesture is one of the necessary skills both for humans and also for the computers to interact with their human counterparts. Gesture analysis is consisted of several processes such as detecting of hand, extracting feature, and recognizing emotions. Skin color information for tracking hand gesture is obtained from face detection region. We have revealed relationships between paricular body movements and specific emotions by using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) classifier. Performance evaluation of emotional human body recognition has experimented.

  • Ant Colony System(ACS) is easily applicable to the traveling salesman problem(TSP) and it has demonstrated good performance on TSP. Recently, ACS has been emerged as the useful tool for the pattern recognition, feature extraction, and edge detection. The edge detection is wifely utilized in the area of document analysis, character recognition, and face recognition. However, the conventional operator-based edge detection approaches require additional postprocessing steps for the application. In the present study, in order to overcome this shortcoming, we have proposed the new ACS-based edge detection algorithm. The experimental results indicate that this proposed algorithm has the excellent performance in terms of robustness and flexibility.

  • Recently, cyberattacks are using hacking techniques utilizing intelligent and advanced malicious codes for non-face-to-face environments such as telecommuting, telemedicine, and automatic industrial facilities, and the damage is increasing. Traditional information protection systems, such as anti-virus, are a method of detecting known malicious URLs based on signature patterns, so unknown malicious URLs cannot be detected. In addition, the conventional static analysis-based malicious URL detection method is vulnerable to dynamic loading and cryptographic attacks. This study proposes a technique for efficiently detecting malicious URLs by dynamically learning malicious URL data. In the proposed detection technique, malicious codes are classified using machine learning-based feature selection algorithms, and the accuracy is improved by removing obfuscation elements after preprocessing using Weighted Euclidean Distance(WED). According to the experimental results, the proposed machine learning-based malicious URL detection technique shows an accuracy of 89.17%, which is improved by 2.82% compared to the conventional method.

  • This work presents o novel method which extract facial region und features from motion picture automatically and controls the 3D facial expression in real time. To txtract facial region and facial feature points from each color frame of motion pictures a new nonparametric skin color model is proposed rather than using parametric skin color model. Conventionally used parametric skin color models, which presents facial distribution as gaussian-type, have lack of robustness for varying lighting conditions. Thus it needs additional work to extract exact facial region from face images. To resolve the limitation of current skin color model, we exploit the Hue-Tint chrominance components and represent the skin chrominance distribution as a linear function, which can reduce error for detecting facial region. Moreover, the minimal facial feature positions detected by the proposed skin model are adjusted by using edge information of the detected facial region along with the proportions of the face. To produce the realistic facial expression, we adopt Water's linear muscle model and apply the extended version of Water's muscles to variation of the facial features of the 3D face. The experiments show that the proposed approach efficiently detects facial feature points and naturally controls the facial expression of the 3D face model.
