Abstract

In this paper, we compare face recognition rate by PCA algorithm using distance change and embedded data being input left side and right side image in stereo images. The proposed method detects face region from RGB color space to YCbCr color space. Also, The extracted face image's scale up/down according to distance change and extracts more robust face region. The proposed method through an experiment could establish standard distance (100cm) in distance about 30∼200cm, and get 99.05% (100cm) as an average recognition result by scale change. The definition of super state is specification region in normalized size (92${\times}$112), and the embedded data extracts the inner factor of defined super state, achieved face recognition through PCA algorithm. The orignal images can receive specification data in limited image's size (92${\times}$112) because embedded data to do learning not that do all learning, in image of 92${\times}$112 size averagely 99.05%, shows face recognition rate of test 1 99.05%, test 2 98.93%, test 3 98.54%, test 4 97.85%. Therefore, the proposed method through an experiment showed that if apply distance change rate could get high recognition rate, and the processing speed improved as well as reduce face information.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상에서 좌·우측 영상을 입력 받아 거리변화와 임베디드 데이터를 이용해 얼굴인식률을 PCA알고리듬으로 비교한다. 제안된 방법에서는 RGB컬러공간에서 YCbCr컬러공간으로 변환하여 얼굴영역을 검출한다. 또한 거리변화에 따라 추출된 얼굴영상의 확대 및 축소하여 보다 강건한 얼굴영역을 추출한다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법은 30cm∼200cm 정도의 거리에서 기준 거리(100cm)를 설정하고, 스케일 변화에 따른 평균적인 인식결과로 99.05%(100cm)의 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다. 정규화된 크기(92×112)에서 특정영역인 슈퍼 상태를 정의하고, 각각 정의된 슈퍼 상태의 내부요소인 임베디드 데이터만을 추출하여 PCA 알고리듬을 통하여 얼굴인식을 수행하였다. 원본영상을 모두 학습하는 것이 아니라 임베디드 데이터만을 학습시키기 때문에 제한된 영상의 크기(92×112)에서 특정 데이터를 받아들일 수 있으며, 평균적으로 92×112크기의 영상에서는 99.05%, 실험1은 99.05%, 실험2는 98.93%, 실험3은 98.54%, 실험4는 97.85%의 얼굴인식률을 보였다. 따라서 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법은 거리변화율을 적용하면 높은 인식률을 얻을 수 있음을 보였으며, 얼굴정보를 축소할 뿐만 아니라 처리속도도 향상되었다.
