Human face detection plays an important role in variable applications. A face detection method based on skin-color information and facial feature in color images is proposed in this paper. First, the RGB color space is transformed to YCbCr space and only the skin region is extracted with the skin color information. And then, the candidate where face is likely to exist is selected after labeling processing. Finally, we detect facial features in face candidate. The experimental results show that the method proposed here is effective.

In this paper, we propose fast and precise extracting & tracking algorithm based on general camera and frame grabber for facial motion capture animation. Proposed algorithm consists of two steps. extracting and tracking. The former is to separate multiple markers from input image using region merging based on neural networks. The latter Is to track extracted multiple markers at each frame using tracking algorithm based on neural networks. In the experiment, we could remove noise and reduce processing time in the step of extraction. In addition, we could have good tracking results in the low frame rates.

Prior knowledge of arterial supply to the head and neck is of substantial importance for well-planned surgeries involving the concerned region. We are reporting an unusual and rare variation in the branching pattern of external carotid artery in a 60-year-old female cadaver. A common trunk known as thyrolinguofacial trunk, originating from the anterior surface of the external carotid artery (right and left) giving of superior thyroid artery and a linguofacial trunk during a routine neck dissection. The linguofacial trunk then divided into a lingual and a facial artery. Vascular abnormalities are usually detected either on the dissection table or by the radiologists during imaging or accidently during surgeries leading to serious consequences.

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.

The critical factors affecting the esthetics of anterior implants can be summarized as following: 1) Correct positioning of implant fixture 2) Enough amount of alveolar bone 3) Optimum volume of soft tissue. The position of implant is probably the most important factor in obtaining esthetic treatment outcome. The 3-dimensional orientation of implant is determined by the position on the alveolar ridge and its direction. Clinicians often try to mimic natural teeth when fabricating restorations. During the course of esthetic diagnosis and treatment, however, one should not forget to consider the correlation between facial pattern, lips, gingiva, alveolar ridge, as well as remaining dentition. Since anterior region is biologically unfavorable when compared with posterior region, one minor discrepancy in positioning of implant can cause esthetically undesirable treatment outcome. If one understands the biological and prosthetic meaning of implant's 3-dimensional position, he or she can achieve superior esthetic outcome in anterior region.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report the oriental-western cooperative treatment on opthalmic and dermatologic disease caused by adverse effect of filler injection galbella region. Method : After filler injection, a patient suffers from spontenous blineness and palsy of oculomotor and trochlear nerve on right eye and erythema on glabella and nasal region. She is admitted to kyung-hee oriental hospital for 2 weeks with oriental(herbal-medicine, acupunture and nega treatment) and western(department of opthalmology, dermatology and plastic surgery measurement) treatment. Result & Conclusion : Nerve palsy was recovered near to normal. And skin legion was proceeded to recovery period without any complication. This recovery speed with oriental-western cooperative treatment is much faster than usual treatment.

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.

Statement of problem. Collarless metal ceramic fixed partial dentures(FPDs) had an esthetic problem such as opaque reflection in cervical region. To overcome this, modified coping which removed its facial cervical metal could be used. The marginal quality could be worsen according to the amount of its facial metal reduction. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate marginal fits of collarless metal ceramic FPDs with retainers of modified copings. Material and method. Dentoform maxillary left central incisor and right lateral incisor were prepared for 3-unit collarless metal ceramic FPD and fixed in yellow stone. This model was duplicated to PBT resin dies via CAD/CAM and injection molding. Four different facial margin design groups were investigated. Group A was a coping with a thin facial metal collar, group B was a collarless coping with its facial metal to the shoulder, group C was a collarless coping with its facial metal 1 mm short of the shoulder, and group D was a collarless coping with its facial metal 2 mm short of the shoulder. Seven collarless metal ceramic FPDs per group were fabricated. They were cemented to PBT resin dies with resin cement. After removal of pontics, each retainers were separated and observed under Accura 2000 optical microscope. Then, retainers were embeded in orthodontic resin and cross sectioned faciopalatally. Internal marginal fits of midfacial porcelain margins were observed under FE-SEM. Result and conclusion. Within the limitations of this in vitro study. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. Mean marginal gaps of collarless FPDs were in the $50-60{\mu}m$ range. 2. In midfacial margin, marginal discrepancies were greater in group A than in the experimental groups(p<0.05). 3. In midpalatal margin, marginal gaps were greater in group C and D than in group A and B(p<0.05). 4. Marginal fits of porcelain margins were better than those of metal margins in collarless metal ceramic FPDs. 5. In both teeth, internal marginal gaps of group C and D were greater than those of group A and B(p<0.05).
