The purpose of this article was to determine the amount of cranio-facial asymmetry in normal subject before the analysis of the cranio-facial asymmetry as the result of internal derangement in T.M.J. dysfunction. The author has conducted analysis using Cephalometric P-A reviews of 54 males and 51 females. Following the Grayson's method of measurement, the standard value of cranio-facial asymmetry in normal subject was obtained. The following results were obtained: 1. Compared with right and left width, asymmetry could be identified in normal subject, although the degree of the difference appears to be small. 2. In male, asymmetric value of contact point of the upper central incisors is 0.76±0.84㎜ that of the lower central incisors is 0.86±0.86㎜, and that of center of genial tubercle is 0.87±1.06㎜. In female, asymmetric value of contact point of the upper central incisors is 1.03±1.29㎜, that of lower incisors is 1.11 ±1.18㎜, and that of center of genial tubercle is 1.45±2.15㎜. 3. Cranio-facial saymmetry in female is somewhat greater than that of male.

Background: Idiopathic facial nerve palsy, or Bell's palsy (BP), is a common and important disease. Recurrent Bell's palsy has been known as a rare entity with only a few cases in the literature. Methods: A total of 111 consecutive patients with acute BP patients were enrolled at Daegu Catholic University Hospital from July 2005 to March 2007. We classified the patients into two groups - single BP and recurrent BP - and compared them by demographic data, clinical features, MRI findings and prognosis. The degree of BP was graded according to the House and Brackmann facial nerve grading system. Results: Recurrent BP was observed in 10 (9%) patients. The number of recurrence was varied from 2 to 5. The mean age of first attack in recurrent BP was $35.70{\pm}23.65$ years old and was earlier than that of the single BP ($50.94{\pm}16.21$ year). The larger proportion of the single BP had an abnormal enhancement of affected facial nerve (91.3%) than the recurrent BP (50%). The recurrent BP showed worse prognosis than the single BP. The associated conditions, etiology, and clinical features were similar between two groups. Conclusions: In comparison with single BP, recurrent BP showed earlier onset of first BP attack, less frequent abnormal enhancement of facial nerve on MRI, and worse prognosis.

A scenario known as conflict in face recognition may arise as a result of some disparity-related issues (such as expression, distortion, occlusion and others) leading to a compromise of someone's identity or contradiction of the intended message. However, addressing this requires the determination and application of appropriate procedures among the various conflict theories both in terms of concepts as well as resolution strategies. Theories such as Marxist, Game theory (Prisoner's dilemma, Penny matching, Chicken problem), Lanchester theory and Information theory were analyzed in relation to facial images conflict and these were made possible by trying to provide answers to selected questions as far as resolving facial conflict is concerned. It has been observed that the scenarios presented in the Marxist theory agree with the form of resolution expected in the analysis of conflict and its related issues as they relate to face recognition. The study observed that the issue of conflict in facial images can better be analyzed using the concept introduced by the Marxist theory in relation to the Information theory. This is as a result of its resolution strategy which tends to seek a form of balance as result as opposed to the win or lose case scenarios applied in other concepts. This was also consolidated by making reference to the main mechanisms and result scenario applicable in Information theory.

안면 비대칭은 다양한 원인에 의해 발병되기 때문에 원인 분석이 중요하고, 평가하는데 있어서 정량적인 지표가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 웹켐을 이용하여 얻은 영상을 영상처리 및 연산부를 거쳐 마커를 추적하고 마커 간의 거리를 계산하여 안면 마비를 평가하는데 정량적인 지표로 사용하던 Nottingham Grading System을 안면 비대칭을 평가하는데 적용해 보았다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System은 표정 변화에 따른 안면부의 특징점 들간의 거리변화를 합산하여 좌, 우를 비교하기 때문에 특정 케이스의 경우 측정 오류를 불러일으키는 문제점이 있었다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System과 문제점을 보완하여 개선시킨 평가지표를 이용하여 안면비대칭인 피실험자와 정상의 피실험자를 비교하였다. 기존 Nottingham Grading System에서는 안면 비대칭의 경우 99.0%, 정상의 경우 95.0%로 둘 다 정상 범위 속에 포함되었다. 하지만 개선시킨 Nottingham Grading System에서는 안면 비대칭의 경우 74.0%, 정상의 경우 93.2%의 결과가 나왔다. 본 연구의 결과로 인해, 개선시킨 Nottingham Grading System은 각 부위별 상세한 평가 및 진단이 가능하고, 기존 Nottingham Grading System의 '문제점을 보완하였음을 보여주었다.

This paper discusses on facial features extraction based on proposed skin color model. Different parts of face from input image are segmented based on skin color model. Moreover, this paper also discusses on concept to detect the eye and mouth position on face. A height and width ratio (${\delta}=1.1618$) based technique is also proposed to accurate detection of face region from the segmented image. Finally, we have cropped the desired part of the face. This exactly exacted face part is useful for face recognition and detection, facial feature analysis and expression analysis. Experimental results of propose method shows that the proposed method is robust and accurate.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (CE 3D) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-volume isotopic turbo spin echo acquisition (FLAIR-VISTA) for the diagnosis of Bell's palsy in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients (24 nerves) with unilateral acute facial nerve palsy underwent MRI from March 2014 through March 2015. The unaffected sides were included as a control group. First, for quantitative analysis, the signal intensity (SI) and relative SI (RSI) for canalicular, labyrinthine, geniculate ganglion, tympanic, and mastoid segments of the facial nerve on CE 3D FLAIR images were measured using regions of interest (ROI). Second, CE 3D FLAIR and CE T1-SE images were analyzed to compare their diagnostic performance by visual assessment (VA). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of RSI measurement and VA were compared. Results: The absolute SI of canalicular and mastoid segments and the sum of the five mean SI (total SI) were higher in the palsy group than in the control group, but with no significant differences. The RSI of the canalicular segment and the total SI were significantly correlated with the symptomatic side (P = 0.028 and 0.015). In 11/12 (91.6%) patients, the RSI of total SI resulted in accurate detection of the affected side. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting Bell's palsy were higher with RSI measurement than with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images, while those with VA of CE T1-SE images were higher than those with VA of CE 3D FLAIR images. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of the facial nerve using CE 3D FLAIR imaging can be useful for increasing the diagnostic performance in children with Bell's palsy when difficult to diagnose using VA alone. With regard to VA, the diagnostic performance of CE T1-SE imaging is superior to that of CE 3D FLAIR imaging in children. Further studies including larger populations are necessary.

본 논문은 칼라의 정면 얼굴 영상으로부터 흑백의 안경 제거 영상을 얻을 수 있는 반복적인 PCA(Principal Component Analysis) 재구성 방법에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 칼라의 입력 영상으로부터 색상 정보와 형태 정보를 이용하여 일정한 크기의 흑백 영상으로 정규화 한다. 정규화된 얼굴 영상에서 반복적인 PCA 재구성 과정을 통해 안경에 의한 오클루젼 영역을 찾고 동시에 이를 보정할 수 있는 재구성된 영상을 생성한다. 또한 이들 결과 영상들을 이용하여 자동으로 자연스러운 안경 제거 영상을 만들어준다. 제안된 방법을 가지고 실제 안경이 있는 영상들에 적용한 결과 대부분 입력 영상과 유사하면서도 자연스러운 안경 제거 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 보완을 통해 다른 오클루젼 문제를 해결하는데에서도 다양하게 응용될 수 있고, 자동 얼굴 인식 시스템의 인식 효율을 높이는 데 충분히 기여할 수 있으리라 기대한다.
