Image calibration at preprocessing step is very important for face recognition rate improvement, and background noise deletion affects accuracy of face recognition specially. In this paper, a method is proposed to remove background area utilizing elliptical model at preprocessing step for face recognition rate improvement. As human face has the shape of ellipse, a face contour can be easily detected by using the elliptical model in face images.

본 논문에서는 배경과 색 정보를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 영상에서의 얼굴 추출에 관한 방법에는 칼라 영상을 가정한 방법, 농담 영상을 가정한 방법, 얼굴의 회전에 덜 민감한 방법, 복잡한 배경에서의 얼굴 추출 방법 등이 연구되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 배경생성을 통해 물체를 구분하고 칼라 정보(HSI 칼라 모델)를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출한다. 배경생성은 각 픽셀 위치에서의 밝기 값을 장시간 평균하거나 혹은 장시간 누적된 밝기 값들 중 최빈 값을 사용하는데 이 방법은 영상 내 물체의 이동이 정체가 별로 없이 원활한 곳에서는 질 좋은 배경을 생성 할 수 있다. 하지 만 배경의 밝기 값을 누적하는 과정에서 물체의 정지상황이 장시간 반영될 경우 배경 영상의 질이 낮아지는 난점이 있다. 따라서, 배경생성 과정에 하이레벨 정보인 물체의 탐지 결과를 이용하여 움직임이 없는 부분에 대해서만 배경생성에 반영함으로써 좀 더 나은 배경을 생성할 수 있다. 이렇게 생성된 배경을 이용해서 입력 영상과의 배경차이를 하게되면 영상 내에서 배경이 아닌 모든 물체를 추출할 수 있다. 물체를 추출 한 후 얼굴 색깔과 유사한 칼라 영역을 분리하고 추출된 물체의 윗 부분에 얼갈이 위치한다는 가정 하에 일괄을 추출한다.

Background Subtraction은 움직이는 물체 검출에 가장 많이 사용되는 방법 중 하나이다. 배경이 복잡하고 변화가 심한 경우, 배경을 실시간으로 얼마나 정확하게 학습하는가가 물체 검출의 정확도를 결정한다. Gaussian Mixture Model은 이러한 배경의 모델링에 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법이다. Gaussian Mixture Model은 확률적 학습 방법을 사용하는데, 이러한 방법은 물체가 자주 지나다니거나 물체가 멈춰있는 경우, 배경을 정확하게 모델링하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 밝기 값에 대한 확률적 모델링과 밝기 값의 변화에 따른 처리를 결합하여 혼잡한 환경에서 배경을 정확하게 모델링할 수 있는 학습 방법을 제안한다.

In video sequences, foreground object detection being composed of a background model and a background subtraction is an important part of diverse computer vision applications. However, object detection might fail in sudden illumination changes. In this letter, an illumination-robust background detection is proposed to address this problem. The method can provide quick adaption to current illumination condition using two background models with different adaption rates. Since the proposed method is a non-parametric approach, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms several state-of-art non-parametric approaches and provides low computational cost.

As the world is trying to establish smart city, unmanned vehicle control systems are being widely used. This paper writes about an unmanned parking control system that uses an adaptive background image modeling method, suggesting the method of updating the background image, modeled with an adaptive Gaussian mixture model, in both global and local way according to the moving object. Specifically, this paper focuses on suggesting two methods; a method of minimizing the influence of a moving object on a background image and a method of accurately updating the background image by quickly removing afterimages of moving objects within the area of interest to be monitored. In this paper, through the implementation of the unmanned vehicle control system, we proved that the proposed system can quickly and accurately distinguish both moving and static objects such as vehicles from the background image.

The background subtraction method is mainly used for the real-time extraction and tracking of moving objects from image sequences. In the outdoor environment, there are many changeable environment factors such as gradually changing illumination, swaying trees and suddenly moving objects , which are to be considered for an adaptive processing. Normally, GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) is used to subtract the background by considering adaptively the various changes in the scenes, and the adaptive GMMs improving the real-time Performance were Proposed and worked. This paper, for on-line background subtraction, employed the improved adaptive GMM, which uses the small constant for learning rate a and is not able to speedily adapt the suddenly movement of objects, So, this paper Proposed and evaluated the dynamic control method of a using the adaptive selection of the number of component distributions and the global variances of pixel values.

In this paper, we present a robust hand recognition approach to sudden illumination changes. The proposed approach constructs a background model with respect to hue and hue gradient in HSI color space and extracts a foreground hand region from an input image using the background subtraction method. Eighteen features are defined for a hand pose and multi-class SVM(Support Vector Machine) approach is applied to learn and classify hand poses based on eighteen features. The proposed approach robustly extracts the contour of a hand with variations in illumination by applying the hue gradient into the background subtraction. A hand pose is defined by two Eigen values which are normalized by the size of OBB(Object-Oriented Bounding Box), and sixteen feature values which represent the number of hand contour points included in each subrange of OBB. We compared the RGB-based background subtraction, hue-based background subtraction and the proposed approach with sudden illumination changes and proved the robustness of the proposed approach. In the experiment, we built a hand pose training model from 2,700 sample hand images of six subjects which represent nine numerical numbers from one to nine. Our implementation result shows 92.6% of successful recognition rate for 1,620 hand images with various lighting condition using the training model.

This paper proposes a multiple moving objects tracking system which is adaptable itself to circumstances. Snake model is sensitive to the start position value because it does not accurately express contours of objects in complex image. It can be improved as the proposed system gets background images by using difference images, segments objects using neighborhood pixels and assesses the position feature values acquired on the start position value to deformable Snake model. And also the system can simplify complex background images and reduce search regions by the constituent points of a Snake laid in Positions of object. It is showed that the proposed system can be appBied to multiple moving vehicle racking systems by the experimental results of 30fps AVI file.

In this study, a tree growth model is designed to represent a variety of trees consisting of a outdoor terrain of game efficiently and naturally. The proposed tree growth model is an integrated tree growth model, and is configured using the following approaches: (1) the tree modeling method based on growth volume and the convolution sums of divisor functions, which is used to model a variety kind of trees more intuitively and naturally; (2) a rendering method using a level of detail of branch based on instancing for real-time processing of numerous trees with complicated structures; and (3) a combination of the above methods to efficiently implement a game landscape. The natural and diverse growths of trees that emerged using the proposed tree growth model is evaluated through experimentation, along with the possibility of implementing the natural game landscape and the efficiency of real-time processing.
