The statistical analysis of the feature extraction and the neural networks are proposed to recognize a human face. In the preprocessing step, the normalized skin color map with Gaussian functions is employed to extract the region of face candidate. The feature information in the region of the face candidate is used to detect the face region. In the recognition step, as a tested, the 120 images of 10 persons are trained by the backpropagation algorithm. The images of each person are obtained from the various direction, pose, and facial expression. Input variables of the neural networks are the geometrical feature information and the feature information that comes from the eigenface spaces. The simulation results of$.$10 persons show that the proposed method yields high recognition rates.

Human have a notable ability to recognize faces, which is one of the most common visual feature in our environment. In regarding face pattern, just like other natural object, a geometrical interpretation of face is difficult to achieve. In this paper, we present wavelet based approach to extract the face features. Proposed approach is similar to the feature based scheme, where the feature is derived from the intensity data without detecting any knowledge of the significant feature. Topological graphs are involved to represent some relations between facial features. In our experiments, proposed approach is less sensitive to the intensity variation.

본 논문은 윤곽선만을 추출하여 캐리커처를 생성하던 기존의 시스템과 달리 음영을 윤곽선과 합성하여 캐리커처를 생성하는 캐리커처 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 이 방식을 사용할 경우 얼굴의 텍스추어 정보까지 생성시 고려하기 때문에 좀 더 실사형에 근접한 캐리커처를 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 벡터를 기만으로 하기 때문에 사이즈에 제한 없이 자유로운 변형이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 2D 캐릭터에 자유로운 표정을 적용하는 데에도 쉽게 적용이 가능하다. 또, 벡터의 특징으로 인해 모바일 상에서도 적은 용량으로 이용 가능하다. 본 논문은 벡터 형태의 캐리커처를 생성하는 방법과 음영을 제작 및 합성하는 방법을 함께 제시한다.

Face recognition is considered a complex biometrics in the field of image processing mainly due to the constraints imposed by variation in the appearance of facial images. These variations in appearance are affected by differences in expressions and/or occlusions (sunglasses, scarf etc.). This paper discusses incremental Kernel Fisher Discriminate Analysis on sub-classes for dealing with partial occlusions and variant expressions. This framework focuses on the division of classes into fixed size sub-classes for effective feature extraction. For this purpose, it modifies the traditional Linear Discriminant Analysis into incremental approach in the kernel space. Experiments are performed on AR, ORL, Yale B and MIT-CBCL face databases. The results show a significant improvement in face recognition.

In this paper, we propose a method for facial feature extraction and recognition algorithm using neural networks. First we extract a face part from the background image based on the knowledge that it is located in the center of an input image and that the background is homogeneous. Then using vertical and horizontal projections. We extract features from the separated face image using knowledge base of human faces. In the recognition step we use the back propagation algorithm of the neural networks and in the learning step to reduce the computation time we vary learning and momentum rates. Our technique recognizes 6 women and 14 men correctly.

This study proposed a Sasang constitution classification system that can increase the objectivity and reliability of Sasang constitution diagnosis using the image of frontal face, in order to solve problems in the subjective classification of Sasang constitution based on Sasang constitution specialists' experiences. For classification, characteristics indicating the shapes of the eyes, nose, mouth and chin were defined, and such characteristics were extracted using the morphological statistic analysis of face images. Then, Sasang constitution was classified through a SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier using the extracted characteristics as its input, and according to the results of experiment, the proposed system showed a correct recognition rate of 93.33%. Different from existing systems that designate characteristic points directly, this system showed a high correct recognition rate and therefore it is expected to be useful as a more objective Sasang constitution classification system.

Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a very significant role in computer vision, pattern recognition, and image processing applications such as human computer interaction as it provides sufficient information about emotions of people. For video-based facial expression recognition, depth cameras can be better candidates over RGB cameras as a person's face cannot be easily recognized from distance-based depth videos hence depth cameras also resolve some privacy issues that can arise using RGB faces. A good FER system is very much reliant on the extraction of robust features as well as recognition engine. In this work, an efficient novel approach is proposed to recognize some facial expressions from time-sequential depth videos. First of all, efficient Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features are obtained from the time-sequential depth faces that are further classified by Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) to make the features more robust and finally, the LBP-GDA features are fed into Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to train and recognize different facial expressions successfully. The depth information-based proposed facial expression recognition approach is compared to the conventional approaches such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) where the proposed one outperforms others by obtaining better recognition rates.

본 논문에서는 안면근육 표면근전도를 기반으로 근육 조합 최적화를 통한 한국어 단모음 인식 방법을 제안한다. 표면근전도 신호는 한국어 단모음 발음에 따라 서로 다른 패턴과 근육 활성도를 보였다. 이전 연구에서 높은 인식 정확도를 보였던 RMS, VAR, MMAV1, MMAV2와 Cepstral Coefficients를 특징 추출 알고리즘으로 사용하였으며, QDA(Quadratic Discriminant Analysis)와 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)으로 한국어 단모음을 분류하였다. 트레이닝 단계에서 입력 받은 데이터로 근육조합을 최적화하고, 최적화 결과를 인식단계에 적용한다. 이때, 새로운 근전도 신호를 입력받고 한국어 단모음을 최종 인식한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법의 인식 정확도가 QDA에서 평균 85.7%, HMM에서 평균 75.1%를 보였다.
