This paper presents a hardware-implemented face regions stabilization algorithm that stabilizes facial regions using the locations and sizes of human faces found by a face detection system. Face detection algorithms extract facial features or patterns determining the presence of a face from a video source and detect faces via a classifier trained on example faces. But face detection results has big variations in the detected locations and sizes of faces by slight shaking. To address this problem, the high frequency reduce filter that reduces variations in the detected face regions by taking into account the face range information between the current and previous video frames are implemented in addition to center distance comparison and zooming operations.

Due to the serious issues posed by facial manipulation technologies, many researchers are becoming increasingly interested in the identification of face forgeries. The majority of existing face forgery detection methods leverage powerful data adaptation ability of neural network to derive distinguishing traits. These deep learning-based detection methods frequently treat the detection of fake faces as a binary classification problem and employ softmax loss to track CNN network training. However, acquired traits observed by softmax loss are insufficient for discriminating. To get over these limitations, in this study, we introduce a novel discriminative feature learning based on Vision Transformer architecture. Additionally, a separation-center loss is created to simply compress intra-class variation of original faces while enhancing inter-class differences in the embedding space.

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting characters in images and detecting facial regions, which consists of two tasks. First, we separate two different characters to detect the face position of the characters in the frame. For fast detection, we use You Only Look Once (YOLO), which finds faces in the image in real time, to extract the location of the face and mark them as object detection boxes. Second, we present three image processing methods to detect accurate face area based on object detection boxes. Each method uses HSV values extracted from the region estimated by the detection figure to detect the face region of the characters, and changes the size and shape of the detection figure to compare the accuracy of each method. Each face detection method is compared and analyzed with comparative data and image processing data for reliability verification. As a result, we achieved the highest accuracy of 87% when using the split rectangular method among circular, rectangular, and split rectangular methods.

In this paper, we propose an automatic facial expressions recognition system to analyze facial expressions (happiness, disgust, surprise and neutral) using tree structures based on heuristic rules. The facial region is first obtained using skin-color model and connected-component analysis (CCs). Thereafter the origins of user's eyes are localized using neural network (NN)-based texture classifier, then the facial features using some heuristics are localized. After detection of facial features, the facial expression recognition are performed using decision tree. To assess the validity of the proposed system, we tested the proposed system using 180 facial image in the MMI, JAFFE, VAK DB. The results show that our system have the accuracy of 93%.

Face detection is the first step of vision-based driver fatigue detection method. Traditional face detection methods have problems of high false-detection rates and long detection times. A space-time restrained Adaboost method is presented in this paper that resolves these problems. Firstly, the possible position of a driver's face in a video frame is measured relative to the previous frame. Secondly, a space-time restriction strategy is designed to restrain the detection window and scale of the Adaboost method to reduce time consumption and false-detection of face detection. Finally, a face knowledge restriction strategy is designed to confirm that the faces detected by this Adaboost method. Experiments compare the methods and confirm that a driver's face can be detected rapidly and precisely.

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.

In this paper, a novel system for avatar motion controlling by tracking face is presented. The system is composed of three main parts: firstly, LCS (Local Cluster Searching) method based face feature detection algorithm, secondly, HMM based feature points recognition algorithm, and finally, avatar controlling and animation generation algorithm. In LCS method, face region can be divided into many small piece regions in horizontal and vertical direction. Then the method will judge each cross point that if it is an object point, edge point or the background point. The HMM method will distinguish the mouth, eyes, nose etc. from these feature points. Based on the detected facial feature points, the 3D avatar is controlled by two ways: avatar orientation and animation, the avatar orientation controlling information can be acquired by analyzing facial geometric information; avatar animation can be generated from the face feature points smoothly. And finally for evaluating performance of the developed system, we implement the system on Window XP OS, the results show that the system can have an excellent performance.

Recently, researches using LBP and SVM have been performed as one of the image - based methods for facial emotion recognition. LBP, introduced by Ojala et al., is widely used in the field of image recognition due to its high discrimination of objects, robustness to illumination change, and simple operation. In addition, CS(Center-Symmetric)-LBP was used as a modified form of LBP, which is widely used for face recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to detect four facial expressions such as expressionless, happiness, surprise, and anger using deep neural network. The validity of the proposed method is verified using accuracy. Based on the existing LBP feature parameters, it was confirmed that the method using the deep neural network is superior to the method using the Adaboost and SVM classifier.

We propose a scheme using 12-net, 24-net, 48-net to scan images and improve efficiency. Using triangle method for frontal pose, B and B1 methods for other poses in neural networks are proposed.

이 논문에서는 커널 Edge Map 방식의 얼굴의 특징점을 검출하는 방법과 Adaboost를 이용한 얼굴의 특징점을 검출하는 방법을 이용하여 좀 더 강인한 얼굴의 특징점을 검출해 낸다. 커널 Edge Map을 이용한 방법은 기존의 10개의 커널을 이용하여 검출된 Edge를 이용하지 않고 좀 더 빠르게 검출해내기 위해 2개의 커널을 이용하여 얼굴의 특징점을 검출해 낸다. 이렇게 만들어진 얼굴의 특징점 후보군들에서 Adaboost를 이용하여 좀 더 정확하고 빠른 특징점을 찾을 수 있게 된다. Adaboost를 이용한 방법은 각각의 특징점들을 오프라인 상에서 학습을 하고 실시간으로 특징점을 검출하는 방법을 사용하였다. Edge를 이용한 방법으로 이미지의 전처리를 하여 후보군을 찾고 그 후보군과 Adaboost를 이용한 후보군들의 조합으로 인해 좀 더 강인하게 얼굴의 특징점을 찾을 수 있다.
