This paper presents a simple and robust face detection algorithm that can be utilized to video summary. We firstly apply the Illumination-compensation process for reducing the effect of brightness on the image. And then, we analyze the face region based on color in the YCbCr space to obtain the skin color. Also, we try the morphological image processing called closing algorithm to improve the detection. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our face detection algorithm that leads to 96.7 % precision ratio on average.

This paper describes a character retrieval system for TV programs and a set of novel algorithms for detecting and recognizing faces for the system. Our character retrieval system consists of two main components: Face Register and Face Recognizer. The Face Register detects faces in video frames and then guides users to register the detected faces of interest into the database. The Face Recognizer displays the appearance interval of each character on the timeline interface and the list of scenes with the names of characters that appear on each scene. These two components also provide a function to modify incorrect results. which is helpful to provide accurate character retrieval services. In the proposed face detection and recognition algorithms. we reduce the computation time without sacrificing the recognition accuracy by using the DCT/LDA method for face feature extraction. We also develop the character retrieval system in the form of plug-in. By plugging in our system to a cataloguing system. the metadata about the characters in a video can be automatically generated. Through this system, we can easily realize sophisticated on-demand video services which provide the search of scenes of a specific TV star.

Due to the recent proliferation of video contents, previous contents expressed as the character or the picture are being replaced to video and growth of video contents is being boosted because of emerging new platforms. As this accelerated growth has a great impact on the process of universalization of technology for ordinary people, video production and editing technologies that were classified as expert's areas can be easily accessed and used from ordinary people. Due to the development of these technologies, tasks like that recording and adjusting that depends on human's manual involvement could be automated through object tracking technology. Also, the process for situating the object in the center of the screen after finding the object to record could have been automated. Because the task of setting the object to be tracked is still remaining as human's responsibility, the delay or mistake can be made in the process of setting the object which has to be tracked through a human. Therefore, we propose a novel object tracking technique of CMT combining the face detection technique utilizing Haar cascade classifier. The proposed system can be applied to an effective and robust image tracking system for continuous object tracking on the smartphone in real time.

As the development of mobile devices, mobile phones are equipped with many features. Video-call feature is one of them. In this paper, we present distance measurement between speaker and smart-phone using multiple color spaces and multiple thresholds. first, detect face based on skin color information. and second, measure distance between speaker and smart-phone using the detected face region. Especially, the first considering point in the development of face area detection is real-time processing and the second point is robustness to solve the problems of face detection errors due to rapid change of object movement, lighting and background between adjacent frames.

We propose a new fast, algorithm which is used for detecting frontal face in the frequency domain based on human skin-color using OCT coefficient of dynamic image compression and skin color information. The region where each pixel has a value of skin-color were extracted from U and V value based on DCT coefficient obtained in the process of Image compression using skin-color map in the Y, U, V color space A morphological filter and labeling method are used to eliminate noise in the resulting image We propose the algorithm to detect fastly human face that estimate the directional feature and variance of luminance block of human skin-color Then Extraction of face was completed adaptively on both background have the object analogous to skin-color and background is simple in the proposed algorithm The performance of face detection algorithm is illustrated by some simulation results earned out on various races We confined that a success rate of 94 % was achieved from the experimental results.

In this paper, we will introduce the image processing methods for the remote pupillary light reflex measurement using the video taken by a general smartphone camera without a special device such as an infrared camera. We propose an algorithm for estimate the size of the pupil that changes with light using image data analysis without a learning process. In addition, we will introduce the results of visualizing the change in the pupil size by removing noise from the recorded data of the pupil size measured for each frame of the video. We expect that this study will contribute to the construction of an objective indicator for remote pupillary light reflex measurement in the situation where non-face-to-face communication has become common due to COVID-19 and the demand for remote diagnosis is increasing.

We proposed an occupant sensing system using single video camera and ultrasonic sensor for the advanced airbag. To detect the occupant form and the face position in real-time, we used the skin color and motion information. We made the candidate face block image using the threshold value of the color difference signal corresponding to skin color and difference value of current image and previous image of luminance signal to gel motion information. And then it detects the face by the morphology and the labeling. In case of night without color and luminance information, it detects the face by using the threshold value of the luminance signal get by infra-red LED instead of the color difference signal. To evaluate the performance of the proposed occupant detection system, it performed various experiments through the setting of the IEEE camera, ultrasonic sensor, and infra-red LED in vehicle jig.

Face recognition is a very important process in video monitoring and is a type of biometric technology. It is mainly used for identification and security purposes, such as ID cards, licenses, and passports. The recognition process has many variables and is complex, so development has been slow. In this paper, we proposed a face recognition method using CNN, which has been re-examined due to the recent development of computers and algorithms, and compared with the feature comparison method, which is an existing face recognition algorithm, to verify performance. The proposed face search method is divided into a face region extraction step and a learning step. For learning, face images were standardized to 50×50 pixels, and learning was conducted while minimizing unnecessary nodes. In this paper, convolution and polling-based techniques, which are one of the deep learning technologies, were used for learning, and 1,000 face images were randomly selected from among 7,000 images of Caltech, and as a result of inspection, the final recognition rate was 98%.

This paper is used the color space distribution HMMD model presented in MPEG-7 in order to segment and detect the wanted image parts as a real time without the user's manufacturing in the video object segmentation. Here, it is applied the wavelet morphology to remove a small part that is regarded as a noise in image and a part excepting for the face image. Also, it did the optimal composition by the rough set. In this paper, tile proposed video object detection algorithm is confirmed to be superior as detecting the face object exactly than the conventional algorithm by applying those to the different size images.put the of paper here.

In this paper we propose an algorithm that detects, tracks a moving object, and classify whether it is human from the video clip captured under the fixed video camera. It detects the outline of the moving object by finding out the local maximum points of the modulus image, which is the magnitude of the motion vectors. It also estimates the size and the center of the moving object. When the object is detected, the algorithm discriminates whether it is human by segmenting the face. It is segmented by searching the elliptic shape using Hough transform and grouping the skin color region within the elliptic shape.
