얼굴인식 기술 분야에 있어서 Haar-like feature를 이용한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 많은 관련 알고리즘 중에 매우 빠른 트레이닝 시간과 처리속도 향상의 장점을 가지고 있다 그러므로 특히 동영상에서의 얼굴 검출에서 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 이러한 방법으로 검출된 얼괄 데이터는 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)알고리즘을 이용하여 이미 트레이닝된 얼굴 데이터베이스와의 비교를 통해 얼굴인식에 있어서 가장 확률이 높은 사람을 본인의 얼굴로 인증하는 신원 확인 시스템을 구현할 수 있게 된다. 신원 확인 시스템에 있어서 얼굴 검출 율이나 신원 확인 성공률은 모두 학습 과정에 의해 결정되기 때문에 얼마나 많은 학습을 효율적으로 하느냐에 따라 성능이 좌우된다. 이러한 시스템은 카메라에 얼굴을 보여주는 것만으로 신원 확인이 가능하기 때문에 번거로운 신원 확인 과정을 거쳐야 하는 다른 시스템 구조에 비해 매우 편리한 기능을 제공할 수 있다.

A new vehicle detection algorithm based on the multiple optimal Adaboost classifiers with optimal feature selection is proposed. It consists of two major modules: 1) Theoretical DDISF(Distance Dependent Image Scaling Factor) based image scaling by site modeling of the installed cameras. and 2) optimal features selection by Haar-like feature analysis depending on the distance of the vehicles. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm shows improved recognition rate compare to the previous methods for vehicles and non-vehicles. The proposed algorithm shows about 96.43% detection rate and about 3.77% false alarm rate. These are 3.69% and 1.28% improvement compared to the standard Adaboost algorithmt.

This paper proposes an effective algorithm of Korean license plate recognition. By applying Haar-like feature and Canny edge detection on a captured vehicle image, it is possible to find a connected rectangular, which is a strong candidate for license plate. The color information of license plate separates plates into white and green. Then, OTSU binary image processing and foreground neighbor pixel propagation algorithm CLNF will be applied to each license plates to reduce noise except numbers and letters. Finally, through labeling, numbers and letters will be extracted from the license plate. Letter and number regions, separated from the plate, pass through mesh method and thinning process for extracting feature vectors by X-Y projection method. The extracted feature vectors are classified using neural networks trained by backpropagation algorithm to execute final recognition process. The experiment results show that the proposed license plate recognition algorithm works effectively.

일반적인 색 정보추출방법으로 색 히스토그램(Color Histogram)은 색의 분포나 응집성, 질감에 대한 구분능력이 없다는 단점을 가지고 있어 정환한 이미지 유사성 비교를 위해 추가적인 정보를 요구한다. Androutsos등은 Haar Wavelet 변환을 통해 이미지의 방향성 질감정보를 구하였다[1]. 하지만 이 방법은 Haar Wavelet 변환의 특성으로 인해 정확한 방향성 정보를 얻을 수 없었다. 본 논문에서는 인접 픽셀(pixel)값의 편차(deviaiton)를 이용하여 방향성 정보를 추출 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였고, Brodatz 112 질감 이미지와 실재 자연사진을 통해 방향성 질감의 성능을 평가하였다.

Terrain classification is still a challenging issue in image processing, especially with high resolution satellite images. The well-known obstacles include low accuracy in the detection of targets, especially for the case of man-made structures, such as buildings and roads. In this paper, we present an efficient approach to classify and detect building footprints, foliage, grass and road from high resolution grayscale satellite images. Our contribution is to build a strong classifier using AdaBoost based on a combination of co-occurrence and Haar-like features. We expect that the inclusion of Harr-like feature improves the classification performance of the man-made structures, since Haar-like feature is extracted from corner features and rectangle features. Also, the AdaBoost algorithm selects only critical features and generates an extremely efficient classifier. Experimental result indicates that the classification accuracy of AdaBoost classifier is much higher than that of the conventional classifier using back propagation algorithm. Also, the inclusion of Harr-like feature significantly improves the classification accuracy. The accuracy of the proposed method is 98.4% for the target detection and 92.8% for the classification on high resolution satellite images.

In this paper, an eye tracking method is presented by using on iterated spatial moment adapting weighted gray level that can accurately detect and track user's eyes under the complicated background. The region of face is detected by using Haar-like feature before extracting region of eyes to minimize an region of interest from the input picture of CCD camera. And the region of eyes is detected by using eigeneye based on the eigenface of Principal component analysis. And then feature points of eyes are detected from darkest part in the region of eyes. The tracking of eyes is achieved correctly by using iterated spatial moment adapting weighted gray level.

The problem of traffic light detection and recognition has recently become one of the most important topics in various researches on autonomous driving. Most algorithms are based on colors to detect and recognize traffic light signals. These methods have disadvantage in that the recognition rate is lowered due to the change of the color of the traffic light, the influence of the angle, distance, and surrounding illumination environment of the image. In this paper, we propose machine learning based detection and recognition algorithm using shape information to solve these problems. Unlike the existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm detects and recognizes the traffic signals based on the morphological characteristics of the traffic lights, which is advantageous in that it is robust against the influence from the surrounding environments. Experimental results show that the recognition rate of the signal is higher than those of other color-based algorithms.

This paper describes the design of high-performance pedestrian and vehicle detection circuit using the Haar-like features. The proposed circuit uses a sliding window for every image frame in order to extract Haar-like features and to detect pedestrians and vehicles. A total of 200 Haar-like features per sliding window is extracted from Haar-like feature extraction circuit and the extracted features are provided to AdaBoost classifier circuit. In order to increase the processing speed, the proposed circuit adopts the parallel architecture and it can process two sliding windows at the same time. We described the proposed high-performance pedestrian and vehicle detection circuit using Verilog HDL and synthesized the gate-level circuit using the 130nm standard cell library. The synthesized circuit consists of 1,388,260 gates and its maximum operating frequency is 203MHz. Since the proposed circuit processes about 47.8 $640{\times}480$ image frames per second, it can be used to provide the real-time detection of pedestrians and vehicles.
