컴퓨터를 이용한 독순 연구는 Man Machine Interface, 지적부호화에 있어서의 송신측 기술, 청각 장애인의 독순 훈련 시스템 등 다방면에서 그 응용이 기대된다. 본 논문은, 움직임 정보는 입술의 에지영역에 집중하고 있음에 주목하여, 입술 에지영역의 Optical Flow 추정값을 독순정보로 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 휘도값을 갖지 않는 에지에, 선형 가상 휘도값를 정해주어 Optical Flow를 추정하는 VGM을 도입해 특징 파라미터를 계산하고, 마할라노비스 평방거리(Mahalanobis's square distance)에 기초한 최대우도판별함수를 이용하여 단모음을 분석하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

There have been increasing interests in 3D mobile content service with emergence of a terminal equipping with a mobile 3D engine and growth of mobile content market. Mobile 3D Avatar is the most effective product displaying the character of a personalized mobile device user. However, previous studies on the method of expressing 3D Avatar have been mainly focused on natural and realistic expressions according to the change in facial expressions and lip shape of a character in PC based virtual environments. In this paper, we propose a method of synchronizing the lip shape with voice by applying a SMS message received in mobile environments to 3D mobile Avatar. The proposed method enables to realize a natural and effective SMS message reading service of mobile Avatar by disassembling a received message sentence into units of a syllable and then synchronizing the lip shape of 3D Avatar with the corresponding voice.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of malocclusion on the self-esteem of female university students. Methods: The subjects were composed of 67 female university students who showed Class 1 molar relation, no missing or supernumerary teeth and has had no orthodontic treatment experience. Each subject was evaluated with Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale to measure the level of self-esteem and also evaluated the degree of anterior crowding and lip protrusion through model analysis and cephalometric soft tissue profile analysis. Results: The results showed that a protrusive profile and crowding of upper anterior teeth had significant reducing effects on the level of self-esteem. The protrusion and crowding groups showed no significant differences in self-esteem between groups. Conclusions: Malocclusion had significant negative effects on the self-esteem of female university students. Further research to investigate the negative psychological influence of malocclusion and the education of lay people about this influence is necessary.

After orthodontic treatment, there are several changes in soft tissue profile. Changes appear at lower anterior facial profile area, especially upper and lower lip. But there are many individual variations in the pattern of changes. So, this study was conducted to find out that the basic upper lip thickness could be one of the factors that could influence the treatment results. The samples were composed of 43 adult patients who had their 4 first premolars extracted. Groups were classified by their basic lip thickness. In group 1(thin upper lip group), there was negative relationship between mentolabial angle and lower lip change. In group 2(average lip thickness group), upper lip change was related to upper incisor change, lower incisor change, lower lip change and nasolabial angle change. And lower lip change was related to upper lip change, upper incisor change, lower incisor change. In group 3(thick upper lip group), there was no relation between both lip change and other variables.

In this paper, We propose a method with which we can detect facial components and face in input image. We use eye map and mouth map to detect facial components using eyes and mouth. First, We find out eye zone, and second, We find out color value distribution of skin region using the color around the eye zone. Skin region have characteristic distribution in YCbCr color space. By using it, we separate the skin region and background area. We find out the color value distribution of the extracted skin region and extract around the region. Then, detect mouth using mouthmap from extracted skin region. Proposed method is better than traditional method the reason for it comes good result with accurate mouth region.

A bimodal speech recognition using visual and audio information has been proposed and researched to improve the performance of ASR(Automatic Speech Recognition) system in noisy environments. The integration method of two modalities can be usually classified into an early integration and a late integration. The early integration method includes a method using a fixed weight of lip parameters and a method using a variable weight according to speech SNR information. The 4 late integration methods are a method using audio and visual information independently, a method using speech optimal path, a method using lip optimal path and a way using speech SNR information. Among these 6 methods, the method using the fixed weight of lip parameter showed a better recognition rate.

사용자가 컴퓨터와 자연스럽고 인간적으로 대화할 수 있고, 사람의 요구에 지능적인 해답을 능동적으로 제시할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스 에이전트가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 음성, 펜, 제스쳐인식 등을 비롯한 다양한 방법을 통하여 사람의 의사전달방식을 컴퓨터의 입력수단으로 구현하여 사용자 편의성을 도모하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터를 블랙박스로 하고, 표면적으로 지능형 3차원 그래픽 얼굴 에이전트와 사용자가 의사소통을 하는 사용자 인터페이스를 대상으로 하였다. 컴퓨터가 단순문제 해결을 위한 도구에서 많은 정보를 다양한 매체를 통해 제공하는 보조자의 역할을 수행하게 되었기 때문에 위의 방법은 보다 적극적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이를 위한 기반 기술로써 국어를 발음하는 얼굴 애니메이션을 연구하였다. 발음을 표현하기 위한 데이터로써 디지털 카메라를 사용하여 입술 운동의 특징점의 위치를 조사하였고, 모델링 시스템을 개발하여 데이터를 입력하였다. 적은 데이터로도 복잡한 자유곡면을 표현할 수 있는 B-Spline곡면을 기본데이터로 사용하였기 때문에 애니메이션을 위한 데이터의 양 또한 줄일 수 있었다. 그리고 국어음소의 발음시간 수열에 대한 입술모양의 변화를 조사하여 발음소리와 입술 움직임을 동기화 시킨 발음 애니메이션을 구현하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the visual teaching method for the English vowel pronunciation, especially for the hearing-impaired who mostly rely on the visual aids, based on the SVM technique. By extracting phonetic features using the SVM technique from the sounds that are hard to hear by ear, the lip shapes for each vowel were refined. The lip shape refinement for vowels is advantageous in that language learners can easily see the movement of articulators by eye, and it is helpful for learning and teaching English vowels for the hearing-impaired.
