This paper deals with the making avatar like a caricature from human face image which is made by web camera. Generally, the Image made by web camera is not low quality but also, there are always various lights and backgrounds. So, It is impossible to recognize a human face's contour by some methods which only find some feature points of a image. Therefore, In this paper, we propose a new method for overcoming defeat of that methods. First, we got the area of human face roughly by color information. And then, we could find the exact human face's contour by using B-spline Snake.

3D reconstruction of a human face from an image sequence remains an important problem in computer vision. We propose a method, based on a factorization algorithm, that reconstructs a 3D face model from short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion. Factorization algorithms can recover structure and motion simultaneously from one image sequence, but they usually require that all feature points be well tracked. Under rotational motion, however, feature tracking often fails due to occlusion and frame out of features. Additionally, the paucity of images may make feature tracking more difficult or decrease reconstruction accuracy. The proposed 3D reconstruction approach can handle short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion wherein feature points are likely to be missing. We implement the proposal as a reconstruction method; it employs image sequence division and a feature tracking method that uses Active Appearance Models to avoid the failure of feature tracking. Experiments conducted on an image sequence of a human face demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The human faces do not have distinct features unlike other general objects. In general the features of eyes, nose and mouth which are first recognized when human being see the face are defined. These features have different characteristics depending on different human face. In this paper, We propose a face recognition algorithm using the hidden Markov model(HMM). In the preprocessing stage, we find edges of a face using the locally adaptive threshold scheme and extract features based on generic knowledge of a face, then construct a database with extracted features. In training stage, we generate HMM parameters for each person by using the forward-backward algorithm. In the recognition stage, we apply probability values calculated by the HMM to input data. Then the input face is recognized by the euclidean distance of face feature vector and the cross-correlation between the input image and the database image. Computer simulation shows that the proposed HMM algorithm gives higher recognition rate compared with conventional face recognition algorithms.

In this study, the automatic tracking algorithm tracing a human face is proposed by using YCbCr color coordinated information and its thermal properties expressed in terms of thermal indexes in an infra-red image. The facial candidates are separately estimated in CbCr color and infra-red domain, respectively with applying the morphological image processing operations and the geometrical shape measures for fitting the elliptical features of a human face. The identification of a true face is accomplished by logical 'AND' operation between the refined image in CbCr color and infra-red domain.

In this Paper, we propose the neural network based emotion recognition method for intelligently recognizing the human's emotion using CCD color image. To do this, we first acquire the color image from the CCD camera, and then propose the method for recognizing the expression to be represented the structural correlation of man's feature Points(eyebrows, eye, nose, mouse) It is central technology that the Process of extract, separate and recognize correct data in the image. for representation is expressed by structural corelation of human's feature Points In the Proposed method, human's emotion is divided into four emotion (surprise, anger, happiness, sadness). Had separated complexion area using color-difference of color space by method that have separated background and human's face toughly to change such as external illumination in this paper. For this, we propose an algorithm to extract four feature Points from the face image acquired by the color CCD camera and find normalization face picture and some feature vectors from those. And then we apply back-prapagation algorithm to the secondary feature vector. Finally, we show the Practical application possibility of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a new detection method of human faces in grey scale images with cluttered background using a facial template and elliptical structure of the human head. Face detection technique can be applied in many areas of image processing such as face recognition, composition and computer graphics, etc. Until now, many researches about face detection have been done, and applications in more complicated conditions are increasing. The existing technique proposed by Sirohey shows relatively good performance in image with cluttered background, but can apply only to image with one face and needs much computation time. The proposed method is designed to reduce complexity and be applied even in the image with several faces by introducing template matching as preprocess. The results show that the proposed method produces more correct detection rate and needs less computation time than the existing one.

이 논문에서는 잡음에 대해 유연성이 있는 신경망과 차영상법-DCT를 이용한 얼굴인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 동일환경(조도의 세기. 얼굴에서 카메라까지의 거리)에서 연속적으로 두 개의 영상을 캡쳐했다. 이 때 한 영상은 얼굴을 포함하지 않고 다른 영상은 얼굴을 포함하게 된다. 차영상 방법을 이용하여 두 개의 이미지로부터 얼굴영상과 배경영상을 분리하고 그 다음에 분리된 얼굴영역에서 사각영역을 추출하여 이 영역을 얼굴의 특징영역으로 이용하였다. 이 사각 영역은 눈, 코, 입, 눈썹 등이 포함된다. 다음으로 이 영역에 대해 DCT 연산을 수행한 후 특징 벡터를 추출하였고 추출된 특징벡터는 정규화 되어 신경망의 입력벡터로 사용되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과 학습된 얼굴영상에 대해서는 100% 인식률을 보였고 학습되지 않는 얼굴 영상에 대해서는 92.25%의 인식률을 보였다.

Many reported methods assume that the faces in an image or an image sequence have been identified and localization. Face detection from image is a challenging task because of variability in scale, location, orientation and pose. In this paper, we present an efficient linear discriminant for multi-view face detection. Our approaches are based on linear discriminant. We define training data with fisher linear discriminant to efficient learning method. Face detection is considerably difficult because it will be influenced by poses of human face and changes in illumination. This idea can solve the multi-view and scale face detection problem poses. Quickly and efficiently, which fits for detecting face automatically. In this paper, we extract face using fisher linear discriminant that is hierarchical models invariant pose and background. We estimation the pose in detected face and eye detect. The purpose of this paper is to classify face and non-face and efficient fisher linear discriminant..

This paper proposes a new segmentation method of human races from grey scale images with clutter using a racial template and elliptical structure of the human head. Face detection technique can be applied in many areas of image processing such as face recognition, composition and computer graphics. Until now, many researches about face detection have been conducted, and applications in more complicated conditions are increasing. The general case is more in a complicated background than in a simple one, and a image with not only one face. Research and development of face detection in such a general case are growing rapidly, and the necessity for that is increasing continuously. Sirohey proposed a face detection method using linearized elliptical equation. The method designed in this paper is improved to be applicable even in the more general cases like where the face is much smaller than the image size and with many faces in one image using template matching and elliptic fitting technique.
