In this paper we propose a face detection system which consists of a method of face candidate extraction using skin color and a method of face verification using the feature of facial structure. Firstly, the proposed extraction method of face candidate uses the image segmentation and merging algorithm in the regions of skin color and the neighboring regions of skin color. These two algorithms make it possible to select the face candidates from the variety of faces in the image with complicated backgrounds. Secondly, by using the partial face classifier, the proposed face validation method verifies the feature of face structure and then classifies face and non-face. This classifier uses face images only in the learning process and does not consider non-face images in order to use less number of training images. In the experimental, the proposed method of face candidate extraction can find more 9.55% faces on average as face candidates than other methods. Also in the experiment of face and non-face classification, the proposed face validation method obtains the face classification rate on the average 4.97% higher than other face/non-face classifiers when the non-face classification rate is about 99%.

A system that control computer presentations by using the hand motion recognition and identification is proposed. The system recognizes and identifies various types of motion in hand motion, controlls the presentation without additional control devices. To recognize hand movements, it performs a face and hand region detection. Facial area is detected using Haar classifier and hand region is extracted according to skin color information on HSV color model. The face area is used to determine the beginning and end of hand gestures, the size and direction of motion. It recognizes various hand gestures and uses them to control computer presentations according to the hand motion identification rules that are proposed and set horizontal and vertical axes from the face area. It is confirmed that 97.2% recognition rate is obtained in about 1200 hand motion recognition experiments and the proposed algorithm is valid in presentation control.

The purpose of this study was to be of use for more successful prediction of possible Prevailing aesthetic characteristics in the future, by reviewing how decadent features have actually been unfolded in fashion and make-up since the end of 20th century, as we are now in the new 21st century. The decadent traits of modern fashion and make-up since the late'90s could be listed as follows : first, the fashion has intentionally been designed to look disgusting, where realistic and imaginary images coexist, by using a half-man, half-machine image or vividly describing detestable animal skin, There have also been disgusting features in the make-up, which are so extremely weird that we can created by adding vinyl or pieces of textiles like Patch of the 17th century. Second, the satanic character of the fashion seems to be meant to keep in harmony with evil image such as Dracula, witch, skeleton or warrior of the evil, in order to charge the unnatural, inhuman and fin-de-siecle Phenomenon and find out what It really means for the inner world of men. And the demonic expressions of the make-up chiefly use white or black color or blue color of low saturation or low lightness, and part of facial features is exaggerated or shortchanged. Third, the decadent characteristics are expressed in the fashion by attaching sensational ornament to the human bode or using sexual exposure. So they give unnatural, unsound and extremely erotic impressions. The decadent features in the make-up are generated by excessively using a gay red color or sensational, exciting colors. Fourth, the exoticism of the fashion is largely affected by China's Chipaoh, Japan's Kimono or primitive motives from Africa, as there are increasing interests in Asia. And that of the make-up leans toward the East, as Kabuki make-up from Japan, Kyongkeuk make-up from China or the primitive features from Africa are employed.

In this paper, we present a new anchor shot detection system which is a core step of the preprocessing process for the news video analysis. The proposed system is composed of four modules and operates sequentially: 1) skin color detection module for reducing the candidate face regions; 2) face detection module for finding the key-frames with a facial data; 3) vector representation module for the key-frame images using a non-negative matrix factorization; 4) anchor shot detection module using a support vector data description. According to our computer experiments, the proposed system shows not only the comparable accuracy to the recent other results, but also more faster detection rate than others.

원거리에서 촬영된 얼굴영상은 극히 적은 정보만을 가지고 있기 때문에 얼굴 검출에 어려움이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 이런 원거리에서 촬영된 영상에서도 얼굴을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제한한다. 정규화한 얼굴 영역 후보의 각 화소에 대한 명암차를 이용하여 얼굴 특정 후보를 검출하고, 얼굴의 대표적 특징 요소인 눈과 코, 입 요소를 추출하여 최종 얼굴영역 판별을 한다. 제한된 알고리즘을 다양한 얼굴 영상에 대해 실험을 실시한 결과, 많은 환경 변수 및 다양한 얼굴영상에서의 적응성을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 가상환경에서 아바타의 활용이 빠르게 증가하면서 아바타 애니메이션에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 아바타의 사람과 같은 자연스러운 얼굴 애니메이션(Facial Animation)은 사용자에게 아바타가 살아 있는 듯한 느낌(Life-likeness)과 사실감(Believability)을 심어주어 보다 친숙한 인터페이스로 활용될 수 있다. 이러한 얼굴 애니메이션 생성을 위해 얼굴의 특징 점을 추출하는 기법이 끊임없이 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 지금까지의 연구는 실시간으로 사람 얼굴로부터 모션을 생성하고 이를 바로 3D 얼굴 모델에 적용 및 모션 라이브러리를 구축하기 위한 최적화된 알고리즘 개발에 대한 연구가 미흡하였다. 본 논문은 실제 사랑 얼굴 모델로부터 실시간으로 특징 점 인식을 통한 애니메이션 적용 및 라이브러리 생성 기법에 대친 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 빠르고 정확한 특징 점 추출을 위하여 색 정보를 가공하여 얼굴 영역을 추출해내고 이를 영역 분할하여 필요한 특징 점을 추출하였으며, 자연스러운 모션 생성을 위하여 에러 발생 시 대칭점을 이용한 복구 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 색 정보 기반의 영역분할 및 영역 대칭 기법을 제시하여 실시간으로 끊김이 없고 자연스러운 얼굴 모션 라이브러리를 생성 및 적용하였다.

An eye location based head posture recognition method is proposed in this paper. First, face is detected using skin color method, and eyebrow and eye areas are located based on gray gradient in face. Next, pupil circles are determined using edge detection circle method. Finally, head postures are recognized based on eye location information. The proposed method has high recognition precision and is robust for facial expressions and different head postures, and can be used in mouse operation. The experimental results reveal the validity of proposed method.

얼굴영상을 효율적으로 처리하기 위해선 먼저 입력영상에서 얼굴영역과 얼굴을 구성하는 각 기관을 검출하는 전처리과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴의 크기와 얼굴의 회전, 조영의 변화가 어느 정도 허용되고 피부색 배경이 얼굴에 병합된 경우에도 얼굴영역과 얼굴기관(눈, 입)을 강건하게 검출할 수 있는 방법으로, 입력영상에 따른 적응적 칼라 색상정보와 얼굴기관의 부분 템플릿매칭을 조합한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 변환된 HSV 칼라 좌표계상의 대역적 피부색상 정보와 히스토그램을 이용한 적응적 피부색상 정보로 얼굴영역을 검출한 뒤, 얼굴영역 안에서 입술색상 정보로 도출된 입술영역의 X축 기울기를 이용해 회전얼굴을 보정하고, 양안의 조합으로 이루어진 부분 템플릿을 이용해 눈을 검출한다.

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.

본 논문은 컬러 입력 영상에서 검출된 얼굴 영역 내의 홀(hole)들간의 기하학적 구조를 이용하여 포즈를 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. 얼굴 영역 검출에서는 특징값 기반의 알고리즘 중 피부색 분포를 이용하는 방법을 적용하며, 이 때 발생하는 조명에 의한 열화를 제거한다. 본 논문에서는 TSL 색상 모델을 사용하고, 조명에 의해 너무 밝게 표현되는 부분의 피부값을 조정함으로써 조명에 대한 보정을 실시한다. 그런 다음, 얼굴 영역 안에서 찾은 홀을 피부영역이 아닌 얼굴 구성요소(양눈, 입)로 가정하여, 후보 구성요소들의 기하학적 구조를 이용해 다양한 포즈의 입력 영상에 대한 포즈를 추정한다. 추정된 값은 향후 다양한 포즈에 대한 특징점 추출이나 얼굴 인식에 활용될 수 있다.
