본 연구의 목적은 눈 폐쇄 상태 검출 알고리즘을 개발하고, 그것을 바탕으로 모바일 환경의 졸음운전 감지 시스템을 구현하는 것이다. 개발한 알고리즘은 검출된 눈 영역의 이미지를 히스토그램 분석을 통해 실험적으로 얻은 문턱 값으로 이진화 시킨 후 운전자 눈의 폐쇄 상태를 판단한다. 구현한 시스템은 얼굴과 눈 검출이 완료된 상태에서 검출된 눈이 폐쇄 상태인지를 판단한다. 폐쇄 상태인 경우 이상태가 지속되면 시스템은 운전자가 졸음운전 상태임을 감지하고 경고해준다. 자원이 제한된 모바일의 특성상 이미지 처리의 정확성뿐만 아니라 처리속도의 효율성도 중요한데 이 특성에 맞는 알고리즘을 개발하였고, 이를 바탕으로 졸음운전 감지 시스템 구현에 성공하였다.

In this paper, we introduce the implementation of driver fatigue monitering system and its result. Input video device is selected commercially available web-cam camera. Haar transform is used to face detection and adopted illumination normalization is used for arbitrary illumination conditions. Facial image through illumination normalization is extracted using Haar face features easily. Eye candidate area through illumination normalization can be reduced by anthropometric measurement and eye detection is performed by PCA and Circle Mask mixture model. This methods achieve robust eye detection on arbitrary illumination changing conditions. Drowsiness state is determined by the level on illumination normalize eye images by a simple calculation. Our system alarms and operates seatbelt on vibration through controller area network(CAN) when the driver's doze level is detected. Our algorithm is implemented with low computation complexity and high recognition rate. We achieve 97% of correct detection rate through in-car environment experiments.

Emotional reaction of audience can be decided by observing reaction of audience for content. We can use a method to analyze visual data from video camera to detect reaction of audience fast and economically. This paper proposes the method and system to observe audience reaction from visual data of audience and define via neural network. Also we propose a new method to detect automatically an area for audience reaction with face detection to improve a fixed area assignment method which has a limitation not to adapt depending on audiences. Additionally, the evaluation is implemented to show that the proposed method and system is effective. The proposed method showed the performance elevation of 10.5 % (7.75 hit ration) compared to a fixed area assignment method.

The non-contact body temperature measurement system is one of the key factors, which is manage febrile diseases in mass facilities using optical and thermal imaging cameras. Conventional systems can only be used for simple body temperature measurement in the face area, because it is used only a deep learning-based face detection algorithm. So, there is a limit to detecting abnormal symptoms of the infants and young children, who have difficulty expressing their opinions. This paper proposes an improved facial expression recognition algorithm for detecting abnormal symptoms in infants and young children. The proposed method uses an object detection model to detect infants and young children in an image, then It acquires the coordinates of the eyes, nose, and mouth, which are key elements of facial expression recognition. Finally, facial expression recognition is performed by applying a selective sharpening filter based on the obtained coordinates. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm improved by 2.52%, 1.12%, and 2.29%, respectively, for the three expressions of neutral, happy, and sad in the UTK dataset.

In this study, we propose the design of optimized pRBFNNs-based night vision face recognition system using PCA algorithm. It is difficalt to obtain images using CCD camera due to low brightness under surround condition without lighting. The quality of the images distorted by low illuminance is improved by using night vision camera and histogram equalization. Ada-Boost algorithm also is used for the detection of face image between face and non-face image area. The dimension of the obtained image data is reduced to low dimension using PCA method. Also we introduce the pRBFNNs as recognition module. The proposed pRBFNNs consists of three functional modules such as the condition part, the conclusion part, and the inference part. In the condition part of fuzzy rules, input space is partitioned by using Fuzzy C-Means clustering. In the conclusion part of rules, the connection weights of pRBFNNs is represented as three kinds of polynomials such as linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic. The essential design parameters of the networks are optimized by means of Differential Evolution.

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.

기존 시선추적 시스템의 문제점은 눈을 깜박이는 동안 동공의 크기 및 위치가 변화하여 시스템이 사용자의 시선 방향을 정확히 예측 할 수 없는 문제가 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 얼굴이 포함 된 영상에서 눈을 검출하고, 눈 영역의 3개의 특징 (밝기 평균, 분산, 이진화 후 흑화소 영역 비율)을 추출하였다. 추출된 특징을 기계학습방법의 한 종류인 SVM을 이용하여 눈의 개폐여부를 판단할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 그 결과 정확도는 81.4%가 나왔다. 제안한 방법은 동공을 검출하기 전 눈의 개폐를 먼저 확인할 수 있기 때문에 시선추적 시스템에서 처리시간을 단축시키고, 눈 깜박임에 따른 오차를 줄일 수 있다.

In this paper. we propose the real-time vision system which judges drowsiness driving based on levels of drivers' fatigue. The proposed system is to prevent traffic accidents by warning the drowsiness and carelessness using face-image analysis and fuzzy logic algorithm. We find the face position and eye areas by using fuzzy skin filter and virtual face model in order to develop the real-time face detection algorithm, and we measure the eye blinking frequency and eye closure duration by using their informations. And then we propose the method for estimating the levels of drivel's fatigue based on measured data by using the fuzzy logic and for deciding whether drowsiness driving is or not. Finally, we show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.
