Recently, researches using LBP and SVM have been performed as one of the image - based methods for facial emotion recognition. LBP, introduced by Ojala et al., is widely used in the field of image recognition due to its high discrimination of objects, robustness to illumination change, and simple operation. In addition, CS(Center-Symmetric)-LBP was used as a modified form of LBP, which is widely used for face recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to detect four facial expressions such as expressionless, happiness, surprise, and anger using deep neural network. The validity of the proposed method is verified using accuracy. Based on the existing LBP feature parameters, it was confirmed that the method using the deep neural network is superior to the method using the Adaboost and SVM classifier.

본 논문에서는 지역적인 에지의 방향 정보와 반응 크기, 주변 화소와의 밝기값 차이를 LDP 코드에 포함함으로써 얼굴 표정 인식률을 향상시킨다. 기존 LDP 코드를 사용하면 LBP에 비해서 영상의 밝기 변화에 덜 민감하고 잡음에 강한 장점을 가진다. 하지만, 밝기 변화가 없는 매끄러운 영역의 정보를 표현하기 어렵고, 배경에 얼굴과 유사한 에지 패턴이 존재하는 경우에는 인식률이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 에지 방향 정보를 기반으로 에지 강도 및 밝기값을 추가할 수 있도록 LDP 코드를 개선하고, 인식률을 측정한다.

24시간 무인 감시 시스템에서 정확한 얼굴 인식은 절대적으로 필요한 요소이다. 그러나 얼굴 인식은 얼굴 영상의 왜곡, 조명, 얼굴의 크기, 얼굴 표정, 배경 영상 등의 변화로 인해 많은 제약이 있다. 본 연구에서는 얼굴 인식의 성능 향상을 위하여 혼합형 신경회로망을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 신경회로망의 비지도학습 방식인 SOM과 LVQ 알고리즘을 이용하여 구성한다. 제안한 방식의 유용성을 확인하기 위하여 고유얼굴 방식, 은닉 마코프 모델 방식, 다층 신경회로망 방식과 비교한다.

The statistical analysis of the feature extraction and the neural networks are proposed to recognize a human face. In the preprocessing step, the normalized skin color map with Gaussian functions is employed to extract the region of face candidate. The feature information in the region of the face candidate is used to detect the face region. In the recognition step, as a tested, the 120 images of 10 persons are trained by the backpropagation algorithm. The images of each person are obtained from the various direction, pose, and facial expression. Input variables of the neural networks are the geometrical feature information and the feature information that comes from the eigenface spaces. The simulation results of$.$10 persons show that the proposed method yields high recognition rates.

An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a recently proposed learning algorithm for a single-layer feed forward neural network. In this paper we studied the ensemble of ELM by using a bagging algorithm for facial expression recognition (FER). Facial expression analysis is widely used in the behavior interpretation of emotions, for cognitive science, and social interactions. This paper presents a method for FER based on the histogram of orientation gradient (HOG) features using an ELM ensemble. First, the HOG features were extracted from the face image by dividing it into a number of small cells. A bagging algorithm was then used to construct many different bags of training data and each of them was trained by using separate ELMs. To recognize the expression of the input face image, HOG features were fed to each trained ELM and the results were combined by using a majority voting scheme. The ELM ensemble using bagging improves the generalized capability of the network significantly. The two available datasets (JAFFE and CK+) of facial expressions were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed classification system. Even the performance of individual ELM was smaller and the ELM ensemble using a bagging algorithm improved the recognition performance significantly.

비접촉형 체온 측정 시스템은 광학 및 열화상 카메라를 활용하여 집단시설의 발열성 질병을 관리하는 핵심 요소 중 하나이다. 기존 체온 측정 시스템은 딥러닝 기반 얼굴검출 알고리즘이 사용되어 얼굴영역의 단순 체온 측정에는 활용할 수 있지만, 의사표현이 어려운 영유아의 이상 징후를 인지하는데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 체온 측정 시스템에서 영유아의 이상징후 감지를 위해 표정인식 알고리즘을 개선한다. 제안된 방법은 객체탐지 모델을 사용하여 영상에서 영유아를 검출한 후 얼굴영역을 추출하고 표정인식의 핵심 요소인 눈, 코, 입의 좌표를 획득한다. 이후 획득된 좌표를 기반으로 선택적 샤프닝 필터를 적용하여 표정인식을 진행한다. 실험결과에 따르면 제안된 알고리즘은 UTK 데이터셋에서 무표정, 웃음, 슬픔 3가지 표정에 대해 각각 2.52%, 1.12%, 2.29%가 향상되었다.

This paper proposes the approaches to the evaluation of learning using concepts of artificial intelligence. Among various techniques, deep learning algorithm is employed to achieve quantitative results of evaluation. In particular, this paper focuses on the process-based evaluation instead of the result-based one using face expression. The expression is simply acquired by digital camera that records face expression when students solve sample test problems. Face expressions are trained using convolutional neural network (CNN) model followed by classification of expression data into three categories, i.e., easy, neutral, difficult. To substantiate the proposed approach, the simulation results show promising results, and this work is expected to open opportunities for intelligent evaluation system in the future.

Facial expression recognition systems using video devices have emerged as an important component of natural human-machine interfaces which contribute to various practical applications such as security systems, behavioral science and clinical practices. In this work, we present a new method to analyze, represent and recognize human facial expressions using a sequence of facial images. Under our proposed facial expression recognition framework, the overall procedure includes: accurate face detection to remove background and noise effects from the raw image sequences and align each image using vertex mask generation. Furthermore, these features are reduced by principal component analysis. Finally, these augmented features are trained and tested using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The experimental evaluation demonstrated the proposed approach over two public datasets such as Cohn-Kanade and AT&T datasets of facial expression videos that achieved expression recognition results as 96.75% and 96.92%. Besides, the recognition results show the superiority of the proposed approach over the state of the art methods.

본 논문에서는 퍼지논리에 기초한 Fisherface 얼굴인식 방법의 확장을 다룬다. Fisherface 얼굴인식 방법은 주성분 분석 기법만을 이용하는 경우에 비해 조명의 방향, 얼굴의 포즈, 감정과 같은 변동에 대해 민감하지 않은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, Fisherface 방법을 포함한 얼굴인식의 다양한 방법들은 입력 벡터가 한 클래스에 할당되어질 때 그 클래스에서 소속의 정도를 0 또는 1로서 나타낸다. 따라서 이러한 방법들은 얼굴영상들이 조명이나 보는 각도로 인해 변형이 생기는 경우에 인식률이 저하되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 PCA에 의해 변환된 특징벡터에 퍼지 소속도를 할당하는 것으로, 퍼지 소속도는 퍼지 kNN(k-Nearest Neighbor)으로부터 얻어진다. 실험 결과 ORL, Yale 얼굴 데이타베이스에서 기존의 인식방법 보다 향상된 인식 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
