In the field of image processing to track the fingertip much research has been done. The most common way to calculate the fingertip first, to extract color information. Then, it uses Blob Coloring algorithms which are expressed in blob functions the skin contour and calculates. The algorithm from contour decides the highest location with the fingertip. But this method when measuring it location from the finger condition which bents is not the actual fingertip and has the problem which detects the location which goes wrong. This paper proposes the color space correction algorithm to tracks the fingertip which bents. The method which proposes when tracking the fingertip from the finger condition which bents solves the problem which measures the location which goes wrong. Aim of this paper in compliance with the propensity of the users forecasts a problem in advance and corrects with improvement at the time of height boil an efficiency. Ultimately, this paper suggests empirical application to verify the adequacy and the validity with the proposed method. Accordingly, the satisfaction and the quality of services will be improved the image recognition.

In intelligent robot research, hand gesture recognition has been an important issue. And techniques that recognize simple gestures are commercialized in smart phone, smart TV for swiping screen or volume control. For gesture recognition, robust hand detection is important and necessary but it is challenging because hand shape is complex and hard to be detected in cluttered background, variant illumination. In this paper, we propose efficient hand detection algorithm for detecting pointing hand for recognition of place where user pointed. To minimize false detections, ROIs are generated within the compact search region using skin color detection result. The ROIs are verified by HOG-SVM and pointing direction is computed by both detection results of head-shoulder and hand. In experiment, it is shown that proposed method shows good performance for hand detection.

With the development of wearable(ubiquitous) computers, those traditional interfaces between human and computers gradually become uncomfortable to use, which directly leads to a requirement for new one. In this paper, we study on a new interface in which computers try to recognize the gesture of human through a digital camera. Because the method of recognizing hand gesture through camera is affected by the surrounding environment such as lighting and so on, the detector should be a little sensitive. Recently, Viola's detector shows a favorable result in face detection. where Adaboost learning algorithm is used with the Haar features from the integral image. We apply this method to hand area detection and carry out comparative experiments with the classic method using skin color. Experimental results show Viola's detector is more robust than the detection method using skin color in the environment that degradation may occur by surroundings like effect of lighting.

Previous hardware devices to capture human motion have many limitations; expensive equipment, complexity of manipulation or constraints of human motion. In order to overcome these problems, real-time motion capture algorithms based on computer vision have been actively proposed. This paper presents an efficient analysis method of multiple view images for real-time motion capture. First, we detect the skin color regions of human being, and then correct the image coordinates of the regions by using camera calibration and epipolar geometry. Finally, we track the human body part and capture human motion using kalman filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate a precise position of the human body.

Recently, the researches of object tracking and recognition using Microsoft's Kinect are being actively studied. In this environment human hand detection and tracking is the most basic technique for human computer interaction. This paper proposes a method of improving the accuracy of the detected hand region's boundary in the cluttered background. To do this, we combine the hand detection results using the skin color with the extracted depth image from Kinect. From the experimental results, we show that the proposed method increase the accuracy of the hand region detection than the method of detecting a hand region with a depth image only. If the proposed method is applied to the sign language or gesture recognition system it is expected to contribute much to accuracy improvement.

As personal information is utilized as an important user authentication means, a trustable certification means is being required. Recently, a research on the biometrics system using a part of the human body like a password is being attempted a lot. The face recognition technology using characteristics of the personal face among several biometrics technologies is easy in extracting features. In this paper, we implement a face recognition system for unattended reception interface. Our method is performed by two steps. Firstly the face is extracted using Haar-like feature method. Secondly the method combining PCA and LDA for face recognition was used. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed system, it was tested and experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable for unattended reception interface.

Pacman is known as the terminator of the loved classic game in the world. In this paper, classic pacman game without using a keyboard or a mouse we should be able to play the game with simple hand gestures. In other words, It use motion game to be a substitute for the hand direction key using the center coordinates. Also, movements of the monster is to be replaced depending on your hand movements by extracting a pointer of hand taking pictures in the MFC dialog using Cam. In this paper, YCbCbr image is convert to RGB images to extract skin color, and multiplication operations and hybrid median filtering was used in order to obtain better images. And it is used to obtain movement of the hand area based on obtain the center of gravity of the hand region.

In this paper, we propose the new side-view face detection method in color images which contain faces over one. It uses color and the geometrical distance between nose and chin. We convert RGB to YCbCr color space. We extract candidate regions of face using skin color information from image. And then, the extracted regions are processed by morphological filter, and the processed regions are labeled. Also, we correct the gradient of inclined face image using projected character of nose. And we detect the inclined side-view faces that have right and left 45 tips by within via ordinate. And we get 92% detection rate in 100 test images.

본 논문에서는 실시간 얼굴 추적을 위하여 기존의 CamShift 알고리즘의 단점을 보완한 새로운 CamShift 알고리즘을 제안한다. 배경 내 추적 객체와 색상이 유사한 객체가 존재할 경우 기존 CamShift 알고리즘은 불안정한 추적을 보여준다. 이러한 문제점을 화소 단위로 거리정보를 획득할 수 있는 Kinect 의 깊이 정보와 HSV 색공간 기반의 피부색 후보영역을 추출하는 Skin Detection 알고리즘을 이용하여 색상분포만 이용하는 기존의 CamShift 의 단점을 보완한다. 또한 추적하던 객체가 사라지거나 가려짐이 발생할 경우에도 다시 추적할 수 있는 특징점 기반의 매칭 알고리즘을 통하여 차폐영역에 강인한 특성을 가지게 한다. 이러한 향상된 CamShift 알고리즘을 사람의 얼굴 추적에 적용함으로써 다양한 분야에 활용 가능한 강인한 얼굴추적 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 실험결과 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 추적 알고리즘인 TLD 보다 월등히 빠른 처리속도와 더 우수한 추적성능을 보여주었고, CamShift 보다 조금 느리지만 기존의 CamShift 가 가지고 있는 문제점들을 해결하였다.

In this paper, we propose a face detection algorithm using the color and shape information in color still images. The proposed algorithm is only applied to chrominance components(Cb and Cr) in order to reduce the variations of lighting condition in YCbCr color space. Input image is segmented by pixels with skin-tone color and then the segmented mage follows the morphological filtering an geometric correction to eliminate noise and simplify the segmented regions in facial candidate regions. Multiple facial regions in input images can be isolated by connected component labeling. Moreover tilting facial regions can be detected by extraction of second moment-based ellipse features.
