요즘 감시카메라 시장은 전 세계적으로 이슈가 되고 있다. 감시카메라는 적은 인원으로 많은 장소를 한 눈에 감시할 수 있고, 문제가 발생했을 때, 녹화 저장된 영상을 통해 그 상황을 다시 볼 수 있다. 이렇게 다양한 기능과 편리함으로 우리에게 도움을 주는 감시카메라이지만, 마스크나 선글라스, 또는 여러 가지 잡음에 의해 얼굴 영상의 부분이 훼손되는 상황에서는 신원 확인을 하기가 어렵다. 때문에 가려진 얼굴을 제대로 인식하기 위해 영상 처리 분야에서 얼굴의 가려진 영역을 찾아 그 부분을 재구성하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 기존 PCA 방법을 이용하여 가려진 영역을 찾아내고, PCA를 반복적으로 사용하여 재구성하는 대신 상관관계를 이용하여 얼굴의 가려진 영역을 자동적으로 검출하고 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 두 눈의 중심이 고정되어 있는 BioID 데이터로 상관계수를 구하고 얼굴의 특정 부분을 임의로 가려 실험을 수행하였다. 제안된 방법의 결과는 PCA 방법으로 수행한 결과와 함께 비교되어 원본 영상과의 오류 값이 더 작게 나오는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a method to detect and recover the occluded parts of face images using the correlation between pairs of pixels. In a training stage, correlation coefficients between every pairs of pixels are calculated using the occlusion-free face images. Once a new occluded face image is shown, the occluded area is detected and recovered using the correlation coefficients obtained in the training stage. We compare the performance of the proposed method with the conventional method based on PCA. The results show that the proposed method detects and recovers occluded area with much smaller noises than the conventional PCA based method. Moreover, recovered images by the proposed method were more smooth with reduced blurring effect.

Even though face recognition researches have been developed for a long ago, there is no practical face recognition system in real life. It is caused by several real situations where non-facial components such as glasses, scarf, and hair occlude facial components while facial images in a face database are well designed. This occlusion decreases recognition performance. Previous approaches in recent years have tried to solve non-facial components but have not resulted in enough performance. In this paper, we propose a method to handle this problem based on support vector data description, which trains the hyperball in feature space to find the minimum distance estimating the approximated face. In order to evaluate its performance and validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we make several experiments and the results show that the proposed method has a considerable effectiveness.

In part-based image representation, the partial shapes of an object are represented as basis vectors, and an image is decomposed as a linear combination of basis vectors where the coefficients of those basis vectors represent the partial (or local) feature of an object. In this paper, a face recognition for occluded faces is proposed in which face images are represented using non-negative matrix factorization(NMF), one of part-based representation techniques, and recognized using an artificial neural network technique. Standard NMF, projected gradient NMF and orthogonal NMF were used in part-based representation of face images, and their performances were compared. Learning vector quantizer were used in the recognizer where Euclidean distance was used as the distance measure. Experimental results show that proposed recognition is more robust than the conventional face recognition for the occluded faces.

Research on facial age estimation is being actively conducted because it is used in various application fields. Facial images taken in various environments often have occlusions, and there is a problem in that performance of age estimation is degraded. Therefore, we propose age estimation method by creating an occluded part using image extrapolation technology to improve the age estimation performance of an occluded face image. In order to confirm the effect of occlusion in the image on the age estimation performance, an image with occlusion is generated using a mask image. The occluded part of facial image is restored using SpiralNet, which is one of the image extrapolation techniques, and it is a method to create an occluded part while crossing the edge of an image. Experimental results show that age estimation performance of occluded facial image is significantly degraded. It was confirmed that the age estimation performance is improved when using a face image with reconstructed occlusions using SpiralNet by experiments.

In this paper, we propose a new selective subspace projection method in order to recognize the occlusive face image effectively. The conventional subspace projection method is project to basis image using a full image of face. The face recognition rate has reduced because the face characteristic is easy to be distorted by occlusion. To overcome this problem, the proposed method first decide to occlusion. If it hasn't an occlusion, we get the feature vectors with total basis projection using the conventional subspace projection method. If it has an occlusion, we get one with partial basis projection. We get better recognition rate than conventional PCA and NMF using AR face database with occlusive face images.

얼굴 표정인식에 관한 연구에서 인식 대상은 대부분 얼굴의 정면 정지 화상을 가지고 연구를 한다. 얼굴 표정인식에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표적인 부위는 눈과 입이다. 그래서 표정 인식 연구자들은 얼굴 표정인식 연구에 있어서 눈, 눈썹, 입을 중심으로 표정 인식이나 표현 연구를 해왔다. 그러나 일상생활에서 카메라 앞에 서는 대부분의 사람들은 눈동자의 빠른 변화의 인지가 어렵고, 많은 사람들이 안경을 쓰고 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 눈이 가려진 경우의 표정 인식을 Principal Component Analysis (PCA)를 이용하여 시도하였다.

COVID-19 로 인해 마스크 착용이 필수적인 사회가 되면서 마스크를 착용한 상태로 얼굴 사진을 촬영하는 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 얼굴인식 기반의 보정 및 필터링 기능이 적용된 카메라 애플리케이션은 인물의 마스크 착용 유무를 인식하지 못하여 마스크로 가려진 영역까지 필터 및 색조 기능을 적용시킨다는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 검출된 얼굴영역에서 마스크 착용 여부 및 마스크 영역을 판단하고 해당 영역을 제외한 나머지 얼굴 영역에 필터링 효과를 적용하는 기술을 구현하였다.

A research about facial image recognition is studied in the most of images in a full race. A representative part, effecting a facial image recognition, is eyes and a mouth. So, facial image recognition researchers have studied under the central eyes, eyebrows, and mouths on the facial images. But most people in front of a camera in everyday life are difficult to recognize a fast change of pupils. And people wear glasses. So, in this paper, we try using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) for facial image recognition in blindfold case.

This paper presents a new human identification algorithm using partial features of the uncovered portion of face when a person wears a mask. After the face area is detected, the feature is extracted from the eye area above the mask. The identification process is performed by comparing the acquired one with the registered features. For extracting features SIFT(scale invariant feature transform) algorithm is used. The extracted features are independent of brightness and size- and rotation-invariant for the image. The experiment results show the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm.
