본 논문에서는 얼굴인식을 위해 기존의 Fisherfaces와 퍼지개념을 도입한 퍼지 기반 Fisherfaces 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 얼굴인식 방법들은 학습영상에 해당되는 각 특징벡터에 대해 특정한 클래스를 할당하지만, 이와는 달리 제안된 방법은 각 특징벡터에 대해 퍼지 값으로 된 클래스 소속도를 부여하여 조명의 방향, 얼굴표정과 같은 큰 변화에 민감하지 않으면서도 닮은 얼굴 영상으로 인해 생기는 오분류(misclassification)의 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) 얼굴 데이터 베이스에 대해 적용하여 이전의 연구인 Eigenfaces와 Fisherfaces보다 더 좋은 인식성능을 보이고자 한다.

In this paper a new feature extraction and target classification method is proposed for the recognition part of FLIR(Forwar Looking Infrared)-image-based ATR system. Proposed feature extraction method is "cluster(=set of classes)-based"version of previous fisherfaces method that is known by its robustness to illumination changes in face recognition. Expecially introduced class clustering and cluster-based projection method maximizes the performance of fisherfaces method. Proposed target image classification method is based on the mixture of experts model which consists of RBF-type experts and MLP-type gating networks. Mixture of experts model is well-suited with ATR system because it should recognizee various targets in complexed feature space by variously mixed conditions. In proposed classification method, one expert takes charge of one cluster and the separated structure with experts reduces the complexity of feature space and achieves more accurate local discrimination between classes. Proposed feature extraction and classification method showed distinguished performances in recognition test with customized. FLIR-vehicle-image database. Expecially robustness to pixelwise sensor noise and un-wanted intensity variations was verified by simulation.

We present an efficient face recognition method that is robust to illumination changes. We named the proposed method as SKKUfaces. We first compute eigenfaces from training images and then apply fisher discriminant analysis using the obtained eigenfaces that exclude eigenfaces correponding to first few largest eigenvalues. This way, SKKUfaces can achieve the maximum class separability without considering eigenfaces that are responsible for illumination changes, facial expressions and eyewear. In addition, we have developed a method that efficiently computes beween-scatter and within-scatter matrices in terms of memory space and computation time. We have tested the performance of SKKUfaces on the YALE and the SKKU face databases. Initial Experimental results show that SKKUfaces performs greatly better over Fisherfaces on the input images of large variations in lighting and eyewear.

Due to the wide application of face recognition (FR) in information security, surveillance, access control and others, it has received significantly increased attention from both the academic and industrial communities during the past several decades. However, partial face occlusion is one of the most challenging problems in face recognition issue. In this paper, a novel method based on linear regression-based classification (LRC) algorithm is proposed to address this problem. After all images are downsampled and divided into several blocks, we exploit the evaluator of each block to determine the clear blocks of the test face image by using linear regression technique. Then, the remained uncontaminated blocks are utilized to partial occluded face recognition issue. Furthermore, an improved Distance-based Evidence Fusion approach is proposed to decide in favor of the class with average value of corresponding minimum distance. Since this occlusion removing process uses a simple linear regression approach, the completely computational cost approximately equals to LRC and much lower than sparse representation-based classification (SRC) and extended-SRC (eSRC). Based on the experimental results on both AR face database and extended Yale B face database, it demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method on issue of partial occluded face recognition and the performance is satisfactory. Through the comparison with the conventional methods (eigenface+NN, fisherfaces+NN) and the state-of-the-art methods (LRC, SRC and eSRC), the proposed method shows better performance and robustness.

이 논문에서는 가시광선 얼굴영상과 그로부터 예측한 열 적외선 텍스처의 데이터 융합에 의한 얼굴인식 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 제안하는 얼굴인식 기법은 가시광선 얼굴영상과 열 적외선 텍스처를 PCA에 의하여 낮은 차원의 특징공간에서 특징벡터로 변환한 다음, 다층 신경회로망을 사용하여 가시광선 영상 특징으로부터 얼굴의 열적외선 특징을 예측하여 열 적외선 텍스처를 생성하였다. 학습과정에서는 주어진 개체로부터 획득한 한 쌍의 가시광선 및 열 적외선 영상에 대해서 PCA를 이용하여 낮은 차원의 특징공간으로 변환한 다음, 가시광선 영상특징으로부터 열 분포 특징으로 매핑시키는 비선형 함수에 해당하는 신경회로망의 내부 파라미터를 결정한다. 학습된 신경회로망은 입력 가시광선 얼굴 특징으로부터 열 에너지 분포 특성의 PCA계수를 예측하고, 이로부터 열 적외선 텍스처를 생성한다. 대표적인 두 가지 얼굴인식 알고리즘 Eigenfaces와 Fisherfaces을 사용하여 NIST/Equinox 데이터베이스에 대하여 얼굴인식에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 예측한 열 적외선 텍스처와 가시광선 얼굴영상의 데이터 융합결과는 가시광선 얼굴영상만을 사용한 경우에 비해서 얼굴인식의 성능이 개선되었음을 수신자 조작특성 (ROC) 및 첫 번째 매칭성능에 의하여 검증하였다.
