This paper proposes a face tracking scheme that is a combination of a face detection algorithm and a face tracking algorithm. The proposed face detection algorithm basically uses the Adaboost algorithm, but the amount of search area is dramatically reduced, by using skin color and motion information in the depth map. Also, we propose a face tracking algorithm that uses a template matching method with depth information only. It also includes an early termination scheme, by a spiral search for template matching, which reduces the operation time with small loss in accuracy. It also incorporates an additional simple refinement process to make the loss in accuracy smaller. When the face tracking scheme fails to track the face, it automatically goes back to the face detection scheme, to find a new face to track. The two schemes are experimented with some home-made test sequences, and some in public. The experimental results are compared to show that they outperform the existing methods in accuracy and speed. Also we show some trade-offs between the tracking accuracy and the execution time for broader application.

본 논문에서는 ART-1 기반 자가 생성 지도학습 알고리즘과 얼굴 인증을 이용한 주민등록증 인식방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 주민등록증 영상에서 주민등록번호와 발행일을 추출하기 위해, 획득된 주민등록증의 영상에서 Sobel Mask와 Median Filter를 이용하여 윤곽선을 추출하고 잡음을 제거한 후, 수평 스미어링을 적용하여 주민등록번호와 발행일 영역을 각각 추출한다. 그리고 고주파 필터링을 적용하여 추출된 영역을 이진화하고 4방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 코드를 추출한다. 추출된 개별 코드는 ART-1 기반 자가 생성 지도학습 알고리즘을 적용하여 인식한다. 얼굴 인증은 Template Matching 방법을 적용하여 Face Template Database를 구축하고, 획득된 주민등록증의 얼굴 영역과의 유사도를 측정하여 주민등록증의 사진 위조 여부를 판별한다. 제안된 주민등록증 인식 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 10개의 주민등록증을 대상으로 실험하였고 원본 주민등록증 영상에서 사진과 얼굴 부분을 위조한 주민등록증에 대해 얼굴 인증 실험을 하였다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 주민등록번호 인식 및 얼굴 인증에 있어서 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a parking space detection method for autonomous parking by using the Around View Monitor (AVM) image and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor fusion. This method consists of removing obstacles except for the parking line, detecting the parking line, and template matching method to detect the parking space location information in the parking lot. In order to remove the obstacles, we correct and converge LIDAR information considering the distortion phenomenon in AVM image. Based on the assumption that the obstacles are removed, the line filter that reflects the thickness of the parking line and the improved radon transformation are applied to detect the parking line clearly. The parking space location information is detected by applying template matching with the modified parking space template and the detected parking lines are used to return location information of parking space. Finally, we propose a novel parking space detection system that returns relative distance and relative angle from the current vehicle to the parking space.

Template attack is a powerful side-channel analysis technique which can be performed by an attacker who has a test device that is identical to target device. Template attack is consisted of building template in profiling phase and matching the target device using template that were calculated in profiling phase. One methods to improve the success rate of template attack is to better estimate template which is consisted sample mean and sample covariance matrix of gaussian distribution in template profiling. However restriction of power trace in profiling phase led to poor template estimation. In this paper, we propose new method to select noisy power trace in profiling phase. By eliminating noisy power trace in profiling phase, we can construct more advanced mean and covariance matrix which relates to better performance in template attack. We proved that the proposed method is valid through experiments.

Detecting human face and facial landmarks automatically in an image is as essential step to a fully automatic face recognition system. In this paper, we present a new approach to detect automatically face and its eyes of input image with scale and rotation variations of faces by using an intensity based template matching with a single log-polar face template. In a template-based matching it is necessary to normalize the scale changes and rotations of an input image to a template ones. The log-polar mapping which simulates space-variant human visual system converts scale changes and rotations of input image into constant horizontal and cyclic vertical shifts in the output plane. Intelligent use of this property allows us to shift of the candidate log-polar faces mapped at various fixation points of an input image to be matched to a template over the log-polar plane. Thus, the proposed method eliminates the need of adapting multitemplate and multiresolution schemes, which inevitably give rise to intensive computation involved to cope with scale and rotation variations of faces. Through this scale and rotation involved to cope with scale and method can lead to detecting face and its eyes simultaneously. Experimental results on a database of 795 images show over 98% detection rate.

In this paper, we present a robust shape matching approach based on bottom-up segmentation. We show how over-segmentation results can be used to overcome both ambiguity of contour matching and occlusion. To measure the shape difference between a template and the object in the input, we use oriented chamfer matching. However, in contrast to previous work, we eliminate the affection of the background clutters before calculating the shape differences using over-segmentation results. By this method, we can increase the matching cost interval between true matching and false matching, which gives reliable results. Finally, our experiments also demonstrate that our method is robust despite the presence of occlusion.

This paper presents a method to segment wafer ID marks on poor quality images under uncontrolled lighting conditions of the semiconductor process. The active multiple templates matching method is suggested to search ID areas on wafers and segment them into meaningful regions and it would have been impossible to recognize characters using general OCR algorithms. This active template model is designed by applying a snake model that is used for active contour tracking. Active multiple template model searches character areas and segments them into single characters optimally, tracking each character that can vary in a flexible manner according to string configurations. Applying active multiple templates, the optimization of the snake energy is done using Greedy algorithm, to maximize its efficiency by automatically controlling each template gap. These vary according to the configuration of character string. Experimental results using wafer images from real FA environment are presented.

In this paper the intent recognition system which recognizes the human's head movements as a simple non-verbal intent representation is presented. The system recognizes five basic intent representations. i.e., strong/weak affirmation. strong/weak negation, and ambiguity by image processing of nodding or shaking movements of head. The vision system for tracking the head movements is composed of CCD camera, image processing board and personal computer. The modified template matching method which replaces the reference image with the searched target image in the previous step is used for the robust tracking of the head movements. For the improvement of the processing speed, the searching is performed in the pyramid representation of the original image. By inspecting the variance of the head movement trajectories. we can recognizes the two basic intent representations - affirmation and negation. Also, by focusing the speed of the head movements, we can see the possibility which recognizes the strength of the intent representation.

은행에서 현금 지급기(ATM)를 부정한 목적으로 사용하는 사람들은 보통 마스크나 선글라스, 모자 같은 것으로 얼굴을 은폐하고 인출을 하는 경우가 많다. 그렇기 때문에 마스크나 선글라스, 모자로 얼굴을 가림으로써 특징을 검출하기 쉽지 않아 얼굴 인식을 통한 사람 판단이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 차 영상과 Template Matching 을 통해 얼굴 영역을 추출하고 Adaptive Boost 를 통해 얼굴의 특징 점을 검출한 후 스킨 컬러 정보를 이용하여 현재 사람의 은폐 정보를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방영은 영상신호처리에 강하고 비용이 적으며 적은 전력으로 동작하는 DSP 기반에 탑재 함으로써 ATM 기에 탑재하기 적합하고 또한 다른 형태의 검증 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 효율적인 구조를 제시한다.
