유해영상 검출에서 정확하게 피부 색상 영역을 획득하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 기존의 방법들은 서로 다른 인종, 조명, 화장, 사용된 카메라 등과 같은 여러 원인으로 인해 피부 색상 추출에 여전히 문제를 가지고 있으며, 사전에 미리 정해진 피부 색상 분포 모델을 이용하여 영상에서 피부 영역을 검출한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 눈 주변 영역에서 샘플을 추출하여 입력 영상에 최적으로 적합된 피부 색상 분포 모델을 생성하여 피부 영역을 강건하게 분할하고, 분할된 피부 영역에서 성인 영상을 대표할 수 있는 특징을 추출한 후, 분할된 피부 영역이 나체의 몸체를 포함하고 있는지를 뉴럴 네트워크 다층 퍼셉트론을 통해 여러 대표적인 특징들을 통합하면서 추론하는 새로운 방법을 제안하다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 피부 색상 영역 분할과 성인영상 검출의 두 가지 성능 측면에서 제안한 방법의 성능이 기존의 방법에 비해 보다 우수함을 보인다. 본 논문에서 제안한 강건한 유해영상검출 기법은 얼굴 검출, 성인영상 필터링 등과 같은 관련된 여러 응용 분야에서 유용하게 활용될 것이라 기대된다.

The principal features of a face are as follows : skin-tone, symmetry, and requisites such as shape of ellipse, eyes, nose, mouth. Also, faces have different size, various shape and position. In case of application of face recognition and detection without preprocessing, efficiency of the performance is decreased. In addition, face itself, complex background, image quality, etc. are included. Therefore, previous face recognition methods are implemented on the base of specific constraints of the face image. In this paper, we propose the efficient and automatic face detection algorithm for minimizing influence such as complex background, image quality, etc. This face detection technique consists of skin-tone, candidate face region and face region extractions.

In this paper, we will examine single face tracking algorithms with scaling function in a mobile device. Face detection and tracking either in PC or mobile device with scaling function is an unsolved problem. Standard single face tracking method with particle filter has a problem in tracking the objects where the object can move closer or farther from the camera. Therefore, we create an algorithm which can work in a mobile device and perform a scaling function. The key idea of our proposed method is to extract the average of skin color in face detection, then we compare the skin color distribution between the detected face and the tracking face. This method works well if the face position is located in front of the camera. However, this method will not work if the camera moves closer from the initial point of detection. Apart from our weakness of algorithm, we can improve the accuracy of tracking.

In order to supplement a diagnostic method for detection of infectious cattle to bovine tuberculosis, performed ELISA for detection of antibody to if bovis in serum and milk. The diagnostic efficacy of the established ELISA was compared with test of the tuberculin skin test for bovine tuberculosis. The positive corresponding rate of serum ELISA and tuberculin skin test showed 84.3%, milk ELISA and tuberculin skin test showed 75.0%, milk ELISA and serum ELISA showed 75.0% respectively. Comparison of the serum and milk to tuberculin antibody concentration in tuberculin positive cattle, the milk contained 1/100-1/150 concentration compared serum tuberculin concentration. The established ELISA was considered efficient for detection of antibodies to M bovis in serum and milk.

The skin color model is a very important concept in face detection, face recognition and face tracking. Usually, this model is obtained by estimating a probability density function of skin color distribution. In many cases, it is assumed that the underlying density function follows a Gaussian distribution. In this paper, a new method for non-parametric estimation of the probability density function, by using feed-forward neural network, is used to estimate the underlying skin color model. By using this method, the resulting skin color model is better than the Gaussian estimation and substantially approaches the real distribution. Applications to face detection and face ...

The detection of skin pigment is crucial in the diagnosis of skin diseases and in the evaluation of medical cosmetics and hairdressing. Accuracy in the detection is a basis for the prompt cure of skin diseases. This study presents a method to recognize and measure human skin pigment using Hemoglobin-Melanin (HM) coordinate. The proposed method extracts the skin area through a Gaussian skin-color model estimated from statistical analysis and decomposes the skin area into two pigments of hemoglobin and melanin using an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm. Then, we divide the two-dimensional (2D) HM coordinate into rectangular bins and compute the location histograms of hemoglobin and melanin for all the bins. We label the skin pigment of hemoglobin, melanin, and normal skin on all bins according to the Bayesian classifier. These bin-based HM projective histograms can quantify the skin pigment and compute the standard deviation on the total quantification of skin pigments surrounding normal skin. We tested our scheme using images taken under different illumination conditions. Several cosmetic coverings were used to test the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can detect skin pigments with more accuracy and evaluate cosmetic covering effects more effectively than conventional methods.

본 논문에서는 피부색 추출과정에서 그림자나 조명에 의해 얼굴 표면이 손실되어 피부색 추출이 되지 않는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 개선된 얼굴 피부색 추출 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 HSV를 이용한 방법은 조명에 의해 얼굴표면이 밝게 비춰지는 경우에 피부색 추출과정에서 피부색 요소가 손실되기 때문에 얼굴표면에 손실 영역이 나타나게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 피부색을 추출한 뒤 손실된 피부 요소 중 HSV 색공간에서 피부색의 H 채널 값 범위에 있는 요소들을 판단하여 손실된 부분의 좌표와 원본 이미지 좌표의 결합을 통해 피부색이 손실되는 부분을 최소화 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 얼굴 검출 과정으로는 추출한 피부색 이미지에서 질감 특징정보를 나타내는 LBP Cascade Classifier를 이용하여 얼굴을 검출하였다. 실험결과 제안하는 방법이 기존의 RGB와 HSV 피부색 추출과 LBP Cascade Classifier 방법을 이용한 얼굴검출보다 검출률과 정확도는 각각 5.8%, 9.6% 향상된 결과를 보였다.

In this paper we propose a method to detect human faces in color images. Many existing systems use a window-based classifier that scans the entire image for the presence of the human face and such systems suffers from scale variation, pose variation, illumination changes, etc. Here, we propose a lighting insensitive face detection method based upon the edge and skin tone information of the input color image. First, image enhancement is performed, especially if the image is acquired from an unconstrained illumination condition. Next, skin segmentation in YCbCr and RGB space is conducted. The result of skin segmentation is refined using the skin tone percentage index method. The edges of the input image are combined with the skin tone image to separate all non-face regions from candidate faces. Candidate verification using primitive shape features of the face is applied to decide which of the candidate regions corresponds to a face. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can detect faces that are of different sizes, in different poses, and that are making different expressions under unconstrained illumination conditions.

This paper describes a real-time face tracking system using effective detector and Kalman filter. In the proposed system, an image is separated into a background and an object using a real-time updated face color for effective face detection. The face features are extracted using the five types of simple Haar-like features. The extracted features are reinterpreted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and interpreted principal components are used for Support Vector Machine (SVM) that classifies the faces and non-faces. The moving face is traced with Kalman filter, which uses the static information of the detected faces and the dynamic information of changes between previous and current frames. The proposed system sets up an initial skin color and updates a region of a skin color through a moving skin color in a real time. It is possible to remove a background which has a similar color with a skin through updating a skin color in a real time. Also, as reducing a potential-face region using a skin color, the performance is increased up to 50% when comparing to the case of extracting features from a whole region.
