We present a novel method for face detection and recognition methods applicable to video retrieval. The person matching efficiency largely depends on how robustly faces are detected in the video frames. Face regions are detected in video frames using viola-jones features boosted with the Adaboost algorithm After face detection, PCA (Principal Component Analysis) follows illumination compensation to extract features that are classified by SVM (Support Vector Machine) for person identification. Experimental result shows that the matching efficiency of the ensembled architecture is quit satisfactory.

Recently, the important of a personal identification is increasing according to expansion using each on-line commercial transaction and personal ID-card. Although a personal ID-card embedded RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag is gradually increased, the way for a person's identification is deficiency. So we need automatic methods. Because RFID tag is vary small storage capacity of memory, it needs effective feature extraction method to store personal biometrics information. We need new recognition method to compare each feature. In this paper, we studied the face verification system using Hippocampal neuron modeling algorithm which can remodel the hippocampal neuron as a principle of a man's brain in engineering, then it can learn the feature vector of the face images very fast. and construct the optimized feature each image. The system is composed of two parts mainly. One is feature extraction using NMF(Non-negative Matrix Factorization) and LDA(Linear Discriminants Analysis) mixture algorithm and the other is hippocampal neuron modeling and recognition simulation experiments confirm the each recognition rate, that are face changes, pose changes and low-level quality image. The results of experiments, we can compare a feature extraction and learning method proposed in this paper of any other methods, and we can confirm that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.

In this research, we propose a speaker identification system using a kernel method which is expected to model the non-linearity of speech features well. We have been using principal component analysis (PCA) successfully, and extended to kernel PCA, which is used for many pattern recognition tasks such as face recognition. However, we cannot use kernel PCA for speaker identification directly because the storage required for the kernel matrix grows quadratically, and the computational cost grows linearly (computing eigenvector of $l{\times}l$ matrix) with the number of training vectors I. Therefore, we use greedy kernel PCA which can approximate kernel PCA with small representation error. In the experiments, we compare the accuracy of the greedy kernel PCA with the baseline Gaussian mixture models using MFCCs and PCA. As the results with limited enrollment data show, the greedy kernel PCA outperforms conventional methods.

Biometric techniques for authentication using body parts such as a fingerprint, face, iris, voice, finger-vein and also photoplethysmography have become increasingly important in the personal security field, including door access control, finance security, electronic passport, and mobile device. Finger-vein images are now used to human identification, however, difficulties in recognizing finger-vein images are caused by capturing under various conditions, such as different temperatures and illumination, and noise in the acquisition camera. The human photoplethysmography is also important signal for human identification. In this paper To increase the recognition rate, we develop camera based identification method by combining finger vein image and photoplethysmography signal. We use a compact CMOS camera with a penetrating infrared LED light source to acquire images of finger vein and photoplethysmography signal. In addition, we suggest a simple pattern matching method to reduce the calculation time for embedded environments. The experimental results show that our simple system has good results in terms of speed and accuracy for personal identification compared to the result of only finger vein images.

Face recognition has recently become one of the most popular research areas in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and pattern recognition because it spans numerous applications, such as access control, surveillance, security, credit-card verification, and criminal identification. In this paper, we propose a simple descriptor called an ECSP(Extended Center-Symmetric Pattern) for illumination-robust face recognition. The ECSP operator encodes the texture information of a local face region by emphasizing diagonal components of a previous CS-LBP(Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern). Here, the diagonal components are emphasized because facial textures along the diagonal direction contain much more information than those of other directions. The facial texture information of the ECSP operator is then used as the input image of an image covariance-based feature extraction algorithm such as 2D-PCA(Two-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis). Performance evaluation of the proposed approach was carried out using various binary pattern operators and recognition algorithms on the Yale B database. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach achieved better recognition accuracy than other approaches, and we confirmed that the proposed approach is effective against illumination variation.

Recently the need for advanced security technologies are increasing as the occurrence of intelligent crime is growing fastly. Previous liveness detection and fake face detection methods are required for the improvement of accuracy in order to be put to practical use. In this paper, we propose a new liveness detection method using pupil reflection, and new fake image detection using Adaboost detector. The proposed system detects eyes based on multi-scale Gabor feature vector in the first stage, The template matching plays a role in determining the allowed eye area. And then, the reflected image in the pupil is used to decide whether or not the captured image is live or not. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods in the detection accuracy of fake images.

In this study, the automatic tracking algorithm tracing a human face is proposed by using YCbCr color coordinated information and its thermal properties expressed in terms of thermal indexes in an infra-red image. The facial candidates are separately estimated in CbCr color and infra-red domain, respectively with applying the morphological image processing operations and the geometrical shape measures for fitting the elliptical features of a human face. The identification of a true face is accomplished by logical 'AND' operation between the refined image in CbCr color and infra-red domain.

In this paper, we present real-time, accurate face region detection and tracking technique for an intelligent surveillance system. It is very important to obtain the high-resolution images, which enables accurate identification of an object-of-interest. Conventional surveillance or security systems, however, usually provide poor image quality because they use one or more fixed cameras and keep recording scenes without any clue. We implemented a real-time surveillance system that tracks a moving person using pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. While tracking, the region-of-interest (ROI) can be obtained by using a low-pass filter and background subtraction. Color information in the ROI is updated to extract features for optimal tracking and zooming. The experiment with real human faces showed highly acceptable results in the sense of both accuracy and computational efficiency.

If the LP problem doesn't have the optimal soultion uniquely, the solution fo the primal-dual barrier method converges to the interior point of the optimal face. Therefore, when the optimal vertex solution or the optimal basis is required, we have to perform the additional procedure to recover the optimal basis from the final solution of the interior point method. In this paper the exisiting methods for recovering the optimal basis or identifying the optimal solutions are analyzed and the new methods are suggested. This paper treats the two optimal basis recovery methods. One uses the purification scheme and the simplex method, the other uses the optimal face solutions. In the method using the purification procedure and the simplex method, the basic feasible solution is obtained from the given interior solution and then simplex method is performed for recovering the optimal basis. In the method using the optimal face solutions, the optimal basis in the primal-dual barrier method is constructed by intergrating the optimal solution identification technique and the optimal basis extracting method from the primal-optimal soltion and the dual-optimal solution.
