For many years, researchers in face description area have been representing and recognizing faces based on different methods that include subspace discriminant analysis, statistical learning and non-statistics based approach etc. But still automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging problem. This paper presents a novel and efficient face image representation method based on Optimized Local Ternary Pattern (OLTP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the OLTP texture feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into a feature vector that can act as face descriptor. The recognition is performed using nearest neighbor classification method with Chi-square distance as a similarity measure. Extensive experimental results on Yale B, ORL and AR face databases show that OLTP consistently performs much better than other well recognized texture models for face recognition.

Human face recognition and 3D human face reconstruction has been studied in this paper. To find the facial feature points, find edge from input image and analysis the accumulated histogram of edge information. This paper use a Generic Face Model to display the 3D human face model which was implement with OpenGL and generated with 500 polygons. For reality of 3D human face model, we propose Group matching mapping method between facial feature points and the one of Generic Face Model. The personalized 3D human face model which resembles real human face can be generated automatically in less than 5 seconds on Pentium PC.

In this paper, we take some features for face recognition out of face image, using a simple type of templates. We use the extracted features to do Adaboost learning for face recognition. Using a carefully-chosen feature among these features, we can make a weak face classifier for face recognition. And doing Adaboost learning on and on with those chosen several weak classifiers, we can get a strong face classifier. By using Adaboost Loaming, we can choose particular features which is not easily subject to changes in illumination and facial expression about several images of one person, and construct face recognition system. Therefore, the face classifier bulit like the above way has robustness in both facial expression and illumination variation, and it finally gives capability of recognizing face fast due to the simple feature.

In this paper, we propose the face recognition system using the neural network. A difficult procedure in constructing the entire recognition systems is the feature extraction from the face imga. And a key poing is the design of the matching function that relates the set of feature values to the appropriate face candidates. We use the length and angle values as feature values that are extracted from the face image normalized to the range of [0,1]. These features values are applied to the input layer of the neural network. Then, these multi-layered perceptron learns or gives otput result. By using the neural network we need not to design the matching function. This function may have nonlinear attributes considerably and would be ...

The recent expansion of the digital content market is increasing the technical demand for various facial image transformations within the virtual environment. The recent image translation technology enables changes between various domains. However, current image-to-image translation techniques do not provide stable performance through unsupervised learning, especially for shape learning in the face transition field. This is because the face is a highly sensitive feature, and the quality of the resulting image is significantly affected, especially if the transitions in the eyes, nose, and mouth are not effectively performed. We herein propose a new unsupervised method that can transform an in-wild face image into another face style through radical transformation. Specifically, the proposed method applies two face-specific feature loss functions for a generative adversarial network. The proposed technique shows that stable domain conversion to other domains is possible while maintaining the image characteristics in the eyes, nose, and mouth.

We present a simple and effective method of face and facial feature detection under pose variation of user face in complex background for the human-robot interaction. Our approach is a flexible method that can be performed in both color and gray facial image and is also feasible for detecting facial features in quasi real-time. Based on the characteristics of the intensity of neighborhood area of facial features, new directional template for facial feature is defined. From applying this template to input facial image, novel edge-like blob map (EBM) with multiple intensity strengths is constructed. Regardless of color information of input image, using this map and conditions for facial characteristics, we show that the locations of face and its features - i.e., two eyes and a mouth-can be successfully estimated. Without the information of facial area boundary, final candidate face region is determined by both obtained locations of facial features and weighted correlation values with standard facial templates. Experimental results from many color images and well-known gray level face database images authorize the usefulness of proposed algorithm.

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.

얼굴 검출 기법들의 경우 조명과 배경에 따라 검출의 정확도가 떨어지는 현상이 발생하여, 이를 해결하기 위한 기법들이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 얼굴의 눈과 입의 성분을 분석하여 인간의 감성 정보를 추출하기 위한 데이터를 획득하고자 한다. 이를 위해 처리속도가 빠르고 환경 요소들에 강인한 검출율을 보이는 얼굴 특징 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 본 방법은 적분 이미지를 적용한 Haar-like Feature기법을 이용하여 얼굴 성분(두 눈, 입)을 검출한 후, 색상 정보를 바탕으로 검출된 성분들을 이진화하고 피부영역과 얼굴 성분영역을 구분한다. 그 후, 빠르고 정확한 shape를 생성하기 위해 베지어 곡선을 이용하여 검출된 성분들의 shape를 생성한다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 Face Recognition Homepage의 데이터를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 정교한 얼굴 성분 검출이 가능함을 확인하였다.
