In this paper, we propose a Cascade Classifier face detection method using the Haar-like feature, which is complemented by the Flood Fill algorithm for lossy areas due to illumination and shadow in YCbCr color space extraction. The Cascade Classifier using Haar-like features can generate noise and loss regions due to lighting, shadow, etc. because skin color extraction using existing YCbCr color space in image only uses threshold value. In order to solve this problem, noise is removed by erosion and expansion calculation, and the loss region is estimated by using the Flood Fill algorithm to estimate the loss region. A threshold value of the YCbCr color space was further allowed for the estimated area. For the remaining loss area, the color was filled in as the average value of the additional allowed areas among the areas estimated above. We extracted faces using Haar-like Cascade Classifier. The accuracy of the proposed method is improved by about 4% and the detection rate of the proposed method is improved by about 2% than that of the Haar-like Cascade Classifier by using only the YCbCr color space.

In this paper, we present a new method which efficiently estimates a face direction from a sequences of input video images in real time fashion. For this work, the proposed method performs detecting the facial region and major facial features such as both eyes, nose and mouth by using the Haar-like feature, which is relatively not sensitive against light variation, from the detected facial area. Then, it becomes able to track the feature points from every frame using optical flow in real time fashion, and determine the direction of the face based on the feature points tracked. Further, in order to prevent the erroneously recognizing the false positions of the facial features when if the coordinates of the features are lost during the tracking by using optical flow, the proposed method determines the validity of locations of the facial features using the template matching of detected facial features in real time. Depending on the correlation rate of re-considering the detection of the features by the template matching, the face direction estimation process is divided into detecting the facial features again or tracking features while determining the direction of the face. The template matching initially saves the location information of 4 facial features such as the left and right eye, the end of nose and mouse in facial feature detection phase and reevaluated these information when the similarity measure between the stored information and the traced facial information by optical flow is exceed a certain level of threshold by detecting the new facial features from the input image. The proposed approach automatically combines the phase of detecting facial features and the phase of tracking features reciprocally and enables to estimate face pose stably in a real-time fashion. From the experiment, we can prove that the proposed method efficiently estimates face direction.

In this paper, we propose a tongue diagnosis system for determining the presence of specific taste crack area as a first step in the digital tongue diagnosis system that anyone can use easily without special equipment and expensive digital tongue diagnosis equipment. Training DB was developed by the Haar-like feature, Adaboost learning on the basis of 261 pictures which was collected in Oriental medicine. Tongue candidate regions were detected from the input image by the learning results and calculated the average value of the HUE component to separate only the tongue area in the detected candidate regions. A tongue area is separated through the Connected Component Labeling from the contour of tongue detected. The palate regions were divided by the relative width and height of the tongue regions separated. Image on the taste area is converted to gray image and binarized with each of the average brightness values. A crack in the presence or absence was determined via Connected Component Labeling with binary images.

Multi-view face detection has become an active area for research in the last few years. In this paper, a novel multi-view human face detection algorithm based on improved real Adaboost is presented. Real Adaboost algorithm is improved by weighted combination of weak classifiers and the approximately best combination coefficients are obtained. After that, we proved that the function of sample weight adjusting method and weak classifier training method is to guarantee the independence of weak classifiers. A coarse-to-fine hierarchical face detector combining the high efficiency of Haar feature with pose estimation phase based on our real Adaboost algorithm is proposed. This algorithm reduces training time cost greatly compared with classical real Adaboost algorithm. In addition, it speeds up strong classifier converging and reduces the number of weak classifiers. For frontal face detection, the experiments on MIT+CMU frontal face test set result a 96.4% correct rate with 528 false alarms; for multi-view face in real time test set result a 94.7 % correct rate. The experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

As personal information is utilized as an important user authentication means, a trustable certification means is being required. Recently, a research on the biometrics system using a part of the human body like a password is being attempted a lot. The face recognition technology using characteristics of the personal face among several biometrics technologies is easy in extracting features. In this paper, we implement a face recognition system for unattended reception interface. Our method is performed by two steps. Firstly the face is extracted using Haar-like feature method. Secondly the method combining PCA and LDA for face recognition was used. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, it was tested and experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable for unattended reception interface.

This paper presents an effective vision based method for LED traffic light detection at the daytime. First, the proposed method calculates horizontal coordinates to set region of interest (ROI) on input sequence images. Second, the proposed uses color segmentation method to extract region of green and red traffic light. Next, to classify traffic light and another noise, shape filter and haar-like feature value are used. Finally, temporal delay filter with weight is applied to remove blinking effect of LED traffic light, and state and weight of traffic light detection are used to classify types of traffic light. For simulations, the proposed method is implemented through Intel Core CPU with 2.80 GHz and 4 GB RAM, and tested on the urban and rural road video. Average detection rate of traffic light is 94.50 % and average recognition rate of traffic type is 90.24 %. Average computing time of the proposed method is 11 ms.

Viola and Jones object detection algorithm is a representative face detection algorithm. The algorithm uses Haar-like features for face expression and uses a cascade-Adaboost algorithm consisting of strong classifiers, a linear combination of weak classifiers for classification. This algorithm requires several parameter settings for its implementation and the set values affect its performance. This paper analyzes face detection performance according to the parameters set in the algorithm.

홍채인식 시스템에 있어서 동공 검출은 가장 먼저 이루어져아 할 전처리 과정이다. 현재 홍채인식 시스템에 있어서 사용되는 동공 검출은 영상의 모든 위치에서 원형돌출부(circular projection)를 구한 후, 경계선을 검출하여 원형의 경계 성분이 가장 강한 위치를 찾는 방법으로 연산량이 너무 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 같은 고주파성분에 해당 되더라도 경계선의Amplitude는 잡음의 경계선에 비해 그 값이 크다는 것을 이용하여, 경계선과 잡음을 구별할 수 있게 되고, 따라서 잡음 제거 성능을 기존의 방법에 비하여 상당히 향상시킨 웨이블렛 변환을 이용하여 동공의 특징을 추출할 수 있었다.
