For face detection techniques, the correctness of detection decreases with different lightings and backgrounds so such requires new methods and techniques. This study has aimed to obtain data for reasoning human emotional information by analyzing the components of the eyes and mouth that are critical in expressing emotions. To do this, existing problems in detecting face are addressed and a detection method that has a high detection rate and fast processing speed good at detecting environmental elements is proposed. This method must detect a specific part (eyes and a mouth) by using Haar-like Feature technique with the application of an integral image. After which, binaries detect elements based on color information, dividing the face zone and skin zone. To generate correct shape, the shape of detected elements is generated by using a bezier curve-a curve generation algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by using data in the Face Recognition Homepage. The result showed that Haar-like technique and bezier curve method were able to detect face elements more elaborately.

Ear detection in an image processing is the one of the important area in biometrics. In this paper we propose a human ear detection algorithm with side face images. First, we search a face candidate area in an input image by using skin-color model and try to find an ear area based on Haar-like feature. Then, to verity whether it is the ear area or not, we use the template which is excellent object classification compare to recognize the characters in the plate. In this experiment, the proposed method showed that the processing speed is improved by 60% than previous works and the detection success rate is 92%.

In this paper, we study about the vehicle detection algorithm which is in the process of travelling from the road. An input image is segmented by means of split and merge algorithm. And two largest segmented regions are removed for reducing search region and speed up processing time. In order to detect the back side of the front vehicle considers a vertical/horizontal component, uses an integral image with to apply Haar-like methods which are the possibility of shortening a calculation time, classified with SVM. The simulation result of the method which is proposed appeared highly.

Face detection methods using image processing have been proposed in many different ways. Generally, the most widely used method for face detection is an Adaboost that is proposed by Viola and Jones. This method uses Haar-like feature for image learning, and the detection performance depends on the learned images. It is well performed to detect face images within a certain distance range, but if the image is far away from the camera, face images become so small that may not detect them with the pre-learned Haar-like feature of the face image. In this paper, we propose the far distance face detection method that combine the Aadaboost of Viola-Jones with a saliency map and user's attention information. Saliency Map is used to select the candidate face images in the input image, face images are finally detected among the candidated regions using the Adaboost with Haar-like feature learned in advance. And the user's eye-tracking information is used to select the interest regions. When a subject is so far away from the camera that it is difficult to detect the face image, we expand the small eye gaze spot region using linear interpolation method and reuse that as input image and can increase the face image detection performance. We confirmed the proposed model has better results than the conventional Adaboost in terms of face image detection performance and computational time.

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. Also, 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.

This paper proposes a face detection method using Free Rectangle feature which possesses a quick execution time and a high efficiency. The proposed mask of Free Rectangle feature is composed of two separable rectangles with the same area. In order to increase the feature diversity, Haar-like feature generally uses a complex mask composed of two or more rectangles. But the proposed feature mask can get a lot of very efficient features according to any position and scale of two rectangles on the feature window. Moreover, the Free Rectangle feature can largely reduce the execution time since it is defined as the only difference of the sum of pixels of two rectangles irrespective of the mask type. Since it yields a quick detection speed and good detection rates on real world images, the proposed face detection method based on Adaboost algorithm is easily applied to detect another object by changing the training dataset.

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.

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.
