This paper presents an emotion recognition and its expression system of an intelligent robot like a home robot or a service robot. Emotion recognition method in the robot is used by a facial image. We use a motion and a position of many facial features. apply a tracking algorithm to recognize a moving user in the mobile robot and eliminate a skin color of a hand and a background without a facial region by using the facial region detecting algorithm in objecting user image. After normalizer operations are the image enlarge or reduction by distance of the detecting facial region and the image revolution transformation by an angel of a face, the mobile robot can object the facial image of a fixing size. And materialize a multi feature selection algorithm to enable robot to recognize an emotion of user. In this paper, used a multi layer perceptron of Artificial Neural Network(ANN) as a pattern recognition art, and a Back Propagation(BP) algorithm as a learning algorithm. Emotion of user that robot recognized is expressed as a graphic LCD. At this time, change two coordinates as the number of times of emotion expressed in ANN, and change a parameter of facial elements(eyes, eyebrows, mouth) as the change of two coordinates. By materializing the system, expressed the complex emotion of human as the avatar of LCD.

We have researched and developed the caricature generation system PICASSO. PICASSO outputs the deformed facial caricature by comparing input face with prepared mean face. We specialized it as PICASSO-2 for exhibiting a robot at Aichi EXPO2005. This robot enforced by PICASSO-2 drew a facial caricature on the shrimp rice cracker with the laser pen. We have been recently exhibiting another revised robot characterized by a brush drawing. This system takes a couple of facial images with CCD camera, extracts the facial features from the images, and generates the facial caricature in real time. We experimentally evaluated the performance of the caricatures using a lot of data taken in Aichi EXPO2005. As a result it was obvious that this system were not sufficient in accuracy of eyebrow region extraction and mouth detection. In this paper, we propose the improved methods for eyebrow region extraction and mouth detection.

Many researches have been performed for human recognition and coding schemes recently. For this situation, we propose an automatic facial feature extraction algorithm. There are two main steps: the face region evaluation from original background image such as office, and the facial feature extraction from the evaluated face region. In the face evaluation, Genetic Algorithm is adopted to search face region in background easily such as office and household in the first step, and Template Matching Method is used to extract the facial feature in the second step. We can extract facial feature more fast and exact by using over the proposed Algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a method of glasses detection in facial image. we develop a detection method of glasses with a weighted sum of the results that detected by facial element detection and glasses frame candidate region. Component of the face detection method detects the glasses, by defining the detection probability of the glasses according to the detection of a face component. Method using the candidate region of the glasses frame detects the glasses, by defining feature of the glasses frame in the candidate region. finally, The results of the combined weight of both methods are obtained. The proposed method in this paper is expected to increase security system's recognition on facial accessories by raising detection performance of glasses or sunglasses for using ATM.

본 논문은 얼굴의 표정 인식을 이용한 위험상황 인지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안방법은 인간의 다양한 감정 표정 중 위험상황을 인지하기 위한 표정인 놀람과 공포의 표정을 인식한다. 제안방법은 먼저 얼굴 영역을 추출하고 검출된 얼굴 영역으로부터 눈 영역과 입술 영역을 추출한다. 각 영역에 유니폼 LBP 방법을 적용하여 표정을 판별하고 위험 상황을 인식한다. 제안방법은 표정인식을 위해 사용되는 Cohn-Kanade 데이터베이스 영상을 대상으로 성능을 평가하였다. 이 데이터베이스는 사람의 기본표정인 웃는 표정, 슬픈 표정, 놀란 표정, 화난 표정, 역거운 표정, 공포 표정 등 6가지의 표정영상을 포함하고 있다. 그 결과 표정 인식에 좋은 결과를 보였으며 이를 이용하여 위험상황을 잘 판별하였다.

In order to recognize the facial expressions, good features that can express the facial expressions are essential. It is also essential to find the characteristic areas where facial expressions appear discriminatively. In this study, we propose a directional LBP feature for facial expression recognition and a method of finding directional LBP operation and feature region for facial expression classification. The proposed directional LBP features to characterize facial fine micro-patterns are defined by LBP operation factors (direction and size of operation mask) and feature regions through AdaBoost learning. The facial expression classifier is implemented as a SVM classifier based on learned discriminant region and directional LBP operation factors. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, facial expression recognition performance was measured in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Experimental results show that the proposed directional LBP and its learning method are useful for facial expression recognition.

The decision of which surgical approach to use for the treatment of a multifocal craniofacial abscess is still a controversial matter. A failure to control disease progress in the craniofacial region can potentially put the patient's life at risk. Therefore, understanding the various ways to approach the craniofacial region helps surgeons to obtain satisfactory results in such cases. In this report, we describe a patient who visited the emergency department with a large swelling in his right cheek. A blood test and computed tomography revealed odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The patient developed sepsis due to a progressive multifocal abscess. An abscess was seen in the temporal muscle, infratemporal fossa, and interorbital region. To control this multifocal abscess, we used the facial dismasking flap (FDF) approach. After debridement using the FDF approach, we succeeded in obtaining sufficient drainage of the abscess, and the patient recovered from sepsis. The advantages of the FDF approach are that it provides a wide surgical field, extending from the parietal region to the mid-facial region, and that it leaves no aesthetically displeasing scars on the face. The FDF approach may be one of the best options to approach multifocal abscesses in the craniofacial region.

This study was desiged to investigate the Obesity and Right-left(region) of Patients with Bell's palsy. We measured the sex, age, BMI and pulse diagnosis of 149 patients who were diagnosed as Bell's palsy. The results were as follows : In distribution of sex, the ratio of male was 52.35%(78 cases), female 47.65%(71 cases). The distribution of age revealed that 40s was the most in 50 cases(33.6%). The distribution of region in facial palsy was left 73 cases, right 76 cases(1:1.04). In distribution of region in facial palsy patients with obesity, the ratio of left was 32.86%(49 cases), right 34.23%(51 cases). But facial palsy patients with obesity was the most in 100 cases(67.11%), low weght was 3 cases(2.01%). In distribution of pulse diagnosis in facial palsy patients with obesity, the ratio of huh-mac(虛脈) was 63.64%(42 case), sil-mac(實脈) 36.36%(24 cases). The huh-mac(虛脈) was simlliar to gi-huh(氣虛). So we found that the facial palsy patients with obesity was more gi-huh(氣虛) than with low weght. In distribution of region in facial palsy patients with obesity-huh-mac(虛脈), the ratio of left was 41.38%(12 cases), right 58.62%(17 cases).

LBP기반 특징점 기술자를 이용한 얼굴검출은 얼굴의 형태정보 및 눈, 코, 입과 같은 얼굴 요소들 간 공간정보를 표현할 수 없는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 선행 연구들은 얼굴 영상을 다수개의 사각형 부분영역들로 분할하였다. 하지만, 연구마다 서로 다른 개수와 크기로 부분 영역을 분할하였기 때문에 실험에 사용하는 데이터베이스에 적합한 부분 영역의 분할 기준이 모호하며, 부분 영역의 수에 비례하여 LBP 히스토그램 차원이 증가되고, 부분 영역의 개수가 증가함에 따라 얼굴의 방향 회전에 대한 민감도가 크게 증가한다. 본 논문은 LBP기반 특징점 기술자의 방향 회전 문제와 특징점 차원의 수 문제를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 부분 영역 분할 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법은 방향 회전된 단일 얼굴 영상에서 99.0278%의 검출 정확도를 보였다.

본 연구에서는 3차원 얼굴 데이타에서 인접 부위의 깊이 차를 이용하여 얼굴의 주요 특징을 추출해 내는 방법을 제안한다. 인간은 사물의 특정 부분의 깊이 정보를 인식하는데 있어서 인접 부위와의 깊이 정보를 비교하고, 이를 바탕으로 깊이 값에 의한 대조가 두드러진 정도에 따라 상대적으로 깊이가 깊고 얕음을 지각하게 된다. 이런 인식 원리를 얼굴의 특징 추출에 적용하여 간단한 연산 과정을 통해 신뢰성 있고, 빠른 얼굴의 특징 추출이 가능하다. 인접 부위의 깊이 차는 수평방향과 수직방향으로 각각 일정 거리를 둔 지점에서의 두 지점간의 깊이 차로 생성된다. 생성된 수평, 수직 방향으로 인접 깊이 차와 입력된 3차원 얼굴 영상을 분석하여 3차원 얼굴 영상에서 가장 주된 특징이 되는 코 영역을 추출하였다.
