This paper describes an implementation of face detection technology for a real-time application on the Android platform. Java class of Face-Detection for detection of human face is provided by the Android API. However, this function is not suitable to apply for the real-time applications due to inadequate detection speed and accuracy. In this paper, the AdaBoost based classification method which utilizes Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histogram is employed for face detection. The face detection module has been developed by C/C++ language for high-speed image processing, and this module is included to the Android platform using the Java Native Interface (JNI). The experiments were carried out in the Java-based environment and JNI-based environment. The experimental results have shown that the performance of JNI-based is faster than Java-based method and our system is well enough to apply for real-time applications.

Significant attention has recently been drawn to digital home photo albums that use face detection technology. The tendency can be found in home photo albums that people prefer to allocate concerned objects in the center of the image rather than the boundary when they take a picture. To improve detection performance and speed that are important factors of face detection task, this paper proposes a face detection method that takes spatial context information into consideration. Experiments were performed to verify the usefulness of the proposed method and results indicate that the proposed face detection method can efficiently reduce the false positive rate as well as the runtime of face detection.

In this paper, we proposed and developed a fast and efficient real time face detection and recognition which can be run on embedded system instead of high performance desktop. In the face detection process, we detect a face by finding eye part which is one of the most salient facial features after applying various image processing methods, then in the face recognition, we finally recognize the face by comparing the current face with the prepared face database using a template matching algorithm. Also we optimized the algorithm in our system to be successfully used in the embedded system, and performed the face detection and recognition experiments on the embedded board to verify the performance. The developed method can be applied to automatic door, mobile computing environment and various robot.

본 논문에서는 압축 영역에서 동작하는 조명 환경 변화에 강인한 얼굴 검출 방법을 제안한다. 기존 이미지 처리를 이용한 얼굴 검출 방법들은 주로 픽셀 기반 영역에서 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 컴퓨팅 파워와 저장 공간이 제한적인 로봇 환경에는 픽셀 기반 처리가 적합하지 않다. 또한 조명 환경의 변화는 안정된 얼굴 검출을 위해 해결되어야 하는 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 압축 영역에서의 조명 효과 보상과 색 온도 변환을 이용한 색상 정보 조절 과정을 사용한 얼굴 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 색상 정보 조절을 통하여 다양한 조명 환경에서 기존 방법에 비해 강인한 얼굴 검출을 보여준다.

OpenCV (Open Computer Vision)에서 제공하는 얼굴 인식 알고리즘에서는 Haar 특징(Haar feature)들과 대상 영상의 정합 과정인 Haar 매칭 (Haar Matching)을 통하여 얼굴을 검출하는데, 이때 Haar 특징들은 정면 얼굴로 구성된 훈련 영상을 통해 학습된다. 따라서 OpenCV의 얼굴 검출 방법은 정면 얼굴에 대해서는 높은 얼굴 검출율을 보이지만, 정면을 응시하지 않거나 얼굴의 형태가 변형된 경우에는 얼굴을 정확하게 검출하지 못하는 경우가 빈번히 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 측면 얼굴 혹은 형태가 변형된 얼굴에서도 컬러 히스토그램의 분포 특성은 유사하다고 가정하고, 히스토그램 패턴 매칭(histogram pattern matching)을 이용한 얼굴 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 Haar 매칭 오류가 발생한 프레임에 대하여, 정확하게 검출된 이전 프레임의 얼굴 영역에 대한 히스토그램 패턴 매칭을 통하여 가장 유사한 히스토그램 분포를 갖는 영역을 얼굴로 인식한다. 제안한 방법의 얼굴 검출 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위한 모의실험에서 제안한 얼굴 검출 방법이 OpenCV보다 얼굴 검출율이 8% 정도 향상됨을 확인하였다.

This paper proposed a human body posture recognition program based on haar-like feature and hand activity detection. Its distinguishing features are the combination of face detection and motion detection. Firstly, the program uses the haar-like feature face detection to receive the location of human face. The haar-like feature is provided with the advantages of speed. It means the less amount of calculation the haar-like feature can exclude a large number of interference, and it can discriminate human face more accurately, and achieve the face position. Then the program uses the frame subtraction to achieve the position of human body motion. This method is provided with good performance of the motion detection. Afterwards, the program recognises the human body motion by calculating the relationship of the face position with the position of human body motion contour. By the test, we know that the recognition rate of this algorithm is more than 92%. The results show that, this algorithm can achieve the result quickly, and guarantee the exactitude of the result.

This paper provides a novel approach for a user oriented system for face detection system for application developers. Even though there are many open source or commercial libraries to solve the problem of face detection, they are still hard to use because they require specific knowledge on detail algorithmic techniques. The purpose of this paper is to come up with a high-level system for face detection with which users can develop systems easily and even without specific knowledge on face detection theories and algorithms. Important conditions are firstly considered to categorize the large problem space of face detection. The conditions identified here are then represented as expressions so that application developers can use them to express various problems. Once the conditions are expressed by developers, the interpreter proposed take the role to interpret the conditions, find and organize the optimal algorithms to solve the represented problem with corresponding conditions. A proof-of-concept is implemented and some example problems are tested and analyzed to show the ease of use and usability.

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.

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.

This paper describes an implementation of fast face detection algorithm. This algorithm can robustly detect human faces with unknown sizes and positions in complex backgrounds. This paper provides a powerful face detection algorithm using skin color segmenting. Skin Color is modeled by a Gaussian distribution in the HSI color space among different persons within the same race, Oriental. The main feature of the Algorithm is achieved face detection robust to illumination changes and a simple adaptive thresholding technique for skin color segmentation is employed to achieve robust face detection.
