Pictorial Structures is known as an effective method that recognizes and tracks human poses. In this paper, the upper body pose is also tracked by PS and a particle filter(PF). PF is one of dynamic programming methods. But Markov chain-based dynamic motion model which is used in dynamic programming methods such as PF, couldn't predict effectively the highly articulated upper body motions. Therefore PF often fails to track upper body pose. In this paper we propose the key pose-based proposal distribution for proper particle prediction based on the similarities between key poses and an upper body silhouette. In the experimental results we confirmed our 70.51% improved performance comparing with a conventional method.

This paper proposes a novel method for achieving pose-invariant face recognition using cylindrical model. On the assumption that a face is shaped like that of a cylinder, we estimate the object's pose and then extract the frontal face image via a pose transform with previously estimated pose angle. By employing the proposed pose transform technique we can increase the face recognition performance using the frontal face images. Through representative experiments, we achieved an increased recognition rate from 61.43% to 94.76% by the pose transform. Additionally, the recognition rate with the proposed method achieves as good as that of the more complicated 3D face model.

In this paper, we represent the recognition method for human frontal upper body pose. In HCI(Human Computer Interaction) and HRI(Human Robot Interaction) when a interaction is established the human has usually frontal direction to the robot or computer and use hand gestures then we decide to focus on human frontal upper-body pose, The two main difficulties are firstly human pose is consist of many parts which cause high DOF(Degree Of Freedom) then the modeling of human pose is difficult. Secondly the matching between image features and modeling information is difficult. Then using Pictorial Model we model the human main poses which are mainly took the space of frontal upper-body poses and we recognize the main poses by making main pose database. using determined main pose we used the model parameters for particle filter which predicts the posterior distribution for pose parameters and can determine more specific pose by updating model parameters from the particle having the maximum likelihood. Therefore based on recognizing main poses and tracking the specific pose we recognize the human frontal upper body poses.

Photogrammetry has been widely used for measuring the important physical quantities in aerospace areas because it is a remote and non-contact measurement method. In this study, we analyzed photogrammetric error which can be occur in six degrees of freedom(6DOF) analysis among coordinates systems with single camera. Error analysis program were developed, and validated using geometric problem converted from imaging process. We analogized that the statistic from estimated camera pose which is need to 6DOF analysis is normally distributed, and quantified the photogrammetric error using estimated population standard deviation.

This paper proposes a pose-invariant face recognition method using cylindrical model and stereo camera. We divided this paper into two parts. One is single input image case, the other is stereo input image case. In single input image case, we normalized a face's yaw pose using cylindrical model, and in stereo input image case, we normalized a face's pitch pose using cylindrical model with previously estimated pitch pose angle by the stereo geometry. Also, since we have an advantage that we can utilize two images acquired at the same time, we can increase overall recognition performance by decision-level fusion. Through representative experiments, we achieved an increased recognition rate from 61.43% to 94.76% by the yaw pose transform, and the recognition rate with the proposed method achieves as good as that of the more complicated 3D face model. Also, by using stereo camera system we achieved an increased recognition rate 5.24% more for the case of upper face pose, and 3.34% more by decision-level fusion.

In this paper, we propose a large scale entertainment system based on gesture recognition for learning Chinese character contents. The system is consisted of parts that forecast user's posture in two infrared images and part that recognize gestures from continuous poses. And we can divide and acquire in front side pose and side pose about one pose in each IR camera. This entertainment system is immersive in nature and convenient for its gestures based controlling system. Also, it can maximize information transmission because induce immersion and interest using two large size displays and various multimedia elements. The learning Chinese character contents can master Chinese character naturally because give interest to user and supply game and education at the same time. Therefore, it can expect synergy effect that can learn playing to user combining with large entertainment system based on gesture recognition.

In this paper, we present a real-time hand pose recognition method to provide an intuitive user interface through hand poses or movements without a keyboard and a mouse. For this, the areas of right and left hands are segmented from the depth camera image, and noise removal is performed. Then, the rotation angle and the centroid point of each hand area are calculated. Subsequently, a circle is expanded at regular intervals from a centroid point of the hand to detect joint points and end points of the finger by obtaining the midway points of the hand boundary crossing. Lastly, the matching between the hand information calculated previously and the hand model of previous frame is performed, and the hand model is recognized to update the hand model for the next frame. This method enables users to predict the hidden fingers through the hand model information of the previous frame using temporal coherence in consecutive frames. As a result of the experiment on various hand poses with the hidden fingers using both hands, the accuracy showed over 95% and the performance indicated over 32 fps. The proposed method can be used as a contactless input interface in presentation, advertisement, education, and game applications.

This paper proposes a robust human detection method irrespective of their pose variation using the multiple oriented 2D elliptical filters (MO2DEFs). The MO2DEFs can detect the humans regardless of their poses unlike existing object oriented scale adaptive filter (OOSAF). To overcome OOSAF's limitation, we introduce the MO2DEFs whose shapes look like the oriented ellipses. We perform human detection by applying four different 2D elliptical filters with specific orientations to the 2D spatial-depth histogram and then by taking the thresholds over the filtered histograms. In addition, we determine the human pose by using convolution results which are computed by using the MO2DEFs. We verify the human candidates by either detecting the face or matching head-shoulder shapes over the estimated rotation. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of pose angle estimation was about 88%, the human detection using the MO2DEFs outperformed that of using the OOSAF by $15{\sim}20%$ especially in case of the posed human.
