Nowadays, CCTV can be come across easily in public institutions, banks, and etc. These CCTV play very important roles for preventing many kinds of crimes and resolving those crime affairs. But in the case of recording image of a specific person far from the CCTV, the original image needs to be enlarged and recovered in order to identify the person more obviously. Interpolation is usually used for the enlargement and recovery of the image in this case. However, it has a certain limitation. As the magnification of enlargement is getting bigger, the quality of the original image can be worse. This paper uses FDP(Facial Definition Parameter) proposed by the MPEG-4 SNHC FBA group and introduces a new algorithm that uses face outline information of the original image based on the FDP, which makes it possible to recover better than the known methods until now.

Recently, with the development of ICT technology such as cloud and mobile, image utilization through social networks is increasing rapidly. These images contain personal information, and personal information leakage accidents may occur. As a result, studies are underway to recognize and mask personal information in images. However, optical character recognition, which recognizes personal information in images, varies greatly depending on brightness, contrast, and distortion, and Korean recognition is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a personal information identification and masking system based on image recognition through deep learning application using CNN algorithm based on optical character recognition method. Also, the proposed system and optical character recognition compares and evaluates the recognition rate of personal information on the same image and measures the face recognition rate of the proposed system. Test results show that the recognition rate of personal information in the proposed system is 32.7% higher than that of optical character recognition and the face recognition rate is 86.6%.

For high-dimensional pattern recognition, such as face classification, the small number of training samples leads to the Small Sample Size problem when the number of pattern samples is smaller than the number of dimensionality. Recently, various LDA-extensions have been developed, including LDA, PCA+LDA, and Direct-LDA, to address the problem. This paper proposes a method of improving the classification efficiency by increasing the number of (sub)-classes through pre-clustering a training set prior to the execution of Direct-LDA. In LDA (or Direct-LDA), since the number of classes of the training set puts a limit to the dimensionality to be reduced, it is increased to the number of sub-classes that is obtained through clustering so that the classification performance of LDA-extensions can be improved. In other words, the eigen space of the training set consists of the range space and the null space, and the dimensionality of the range space increases as the number of classes increases. Therefore, when constructing the transformation matrix, through minimizing the null space, the loss of discriminatve information resulted from this space can be minimized. Experimental results for the artificial data of X-OR samples as well as the bench mark face databases of AT&T and Yale demonstrate that the classification efficiency of the proposed method could be improved.

Hospital Information System includes a wide range of information in the medical profession, from the overall administrative work of the hospital to the medical work of doctors. In this paper, we proposed a Vision-based Authentication and Registration of Facial Identity in Hospital Information System using OpenCV. By using the proposed security module program a Vision-based Authentication and Registration of Facial Identity, the hospital information system was designed to enhance the security through registration of the face in the hospital personnel and to process the receipt, treatment, and prescription process without any secondary leakage of personal information. The implemented security module program eliminates the need for printing, exposing and recognizing the existing sticker paper tags and wristband type personal information that can be checked by the nurse in the hospital information system. In contrast to the original, the security module program is inputted with ID and password instead to improve privacy and recognition rate.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected the world seriously. Every person is required for wearing a mask properly in a public area to prevent spreading the virus. However, many people are not wearing a mask properly. In this paper, we propose an efficient mask detection system. In our proposed system, we first detect the faces of input images using YOLOv5 and classify them as the one of three scene complexity classes (Simple, Moderate, and Complex) based on the number of detected faces. After that, the image is fed into the Faster-RCNN with the one of three ResNet (ResNet-18, 50, and 101) as backbone network depending on the scene complexity for detecting the face area and identifying whether the person is wearing the mask properly or not. We evaluated our proposed system using public mask detection datasets. The results show that our proposed system outperforms other models.

As IoT Technology develops and Era of Hyperconnectivity comes, various kinds of customized services became available. As a next-generation display, a smart mirror accesses multimedia devices and provides various services, so it can serve as a social learning tool for the children and the old ones, as well as adults who need information. Smart Mirror must be able to identify users for individualized services. However, since the Smart Mirror is an easily accessible device, there is a possibility that information such as an individual's pattern and habit stored in the smart mirror may be exposed to the outside. Also, the other possibility of leakage of personal location information is through personal schedule or appointment stored in the smart mirror, and another possibility that privacy can be violated is through checking the health state via personal photographs. In this research, we propose a system that identify users by the information the users registered about their physique just like their face, one that provides individually customized service to users after identifying them, and one which provides minimal information and service for unauthenticated users.

Uncanny valley refers to the condition where the affinity of a human-like object decreases dramatically if the object becomes extremely similar to human, and has been hypothesized to derive from the cognitive load of categorical conflict against an uncanny object. According to the hypothesis, the present study ran an oddball task consisting of trials each displaying one among a non-human, human and uncanny face, and measured event-related potentials (ERPs) for each trial condition. In Experiment 1, a non-human face was presented in 80% of the trials (standard) whereas a human face for another 10% trials (target) and an uncanny face for the remaining 10% trials (uncanny). Participants' responses were relatively inaccurate and delayed in both the target and uncanny oddball trials, but neither P3 nor N170 component differed across the three trial conditions. Experiment 2 used 3-D rendered realistic faces to increase the degree of categorical conflict, and found the behavioral results were similar to Experiment 1. However, the peak amplitude of N170 of the target and uncanny trials were higher than the standard trials while P3 mean amplitudes for both the target and uncanny trials were comparable but higher than the amplitude for the standard trials. P3 latencies were delayed in the order of the standard, target, and uncanny trials. The changes in N170 and P3 patterns across the experiments appear to arise from the categorical conflict that the uncanny face must be categorized as a non-target according to the oddball-task requirement despite its perceived category of a human face. The observed increase of cognitive load following the added reality to the uncanny face also indicates that the cognitive load, supposedly responsible for the uncanny experience, would depend on the increase of categorical conflict information subsequent to added stimulus complexity.

Fear of contact exists due to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. When using the common entrance door of an apartment, access is possible only if the resident enters a password or obtains the resident's permission. There is the inconvenience of having to manually enter the number and password for the common entrance door to enter. Also, contactless entry is required due to COVID-19. Due to the development of ICT, users can be easily identified through the development of face recognition and voice recognition technology. The proposed method detects a visitor's face through a CCTV or camera attached to the common entrance door, recognizes the face, and identifies it as a registered resident. Then, based on the registered information of the resident, it is possible to operate without contact by interworking with the elevator on the server. In particular, if face recognition fails with a hat or mask, the visitor is identified by voice or additional authentication of the visitor is performed based on the voice message. It is possible to block the spread of contagiousness without leaving any contactless function and fingerprint information when entering and exiting the front door of an apartment house, and without the inconvenience of access.
