In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to detect human faces for controling a camera used in video conference. We model the distribution of skin color and set up the standard skin color in YIQ color space. An input video frame image is segmented into skin and non-skin segments by comparing the standard skin color and each pixels in the input video frame. Then, shape filler is applied to select face segments from skin segments. Our algorithm detects human faces in real time to control a camera to capture a human face with a proper size and position.

In this paper, we propose a face detection technique for still pictures which sequentially uses a skin-color model and a support vector machine (SVM). SVM is a learning algorithm for solving the classification problem. Some studies on face detection have reported superior results of SVM over neural networks. The SVM method searches for a face in a picture while changing the size of the window. The detection accuracy and the processing time of SVM vary largely depending on the complexity of the background of the picture or the size of the face. Therefore, we apply a face candidate area detection method using a skin-color model as a preprocessing technique. We compared the method using SVM alone with that of the proposed method in respect to face detection accuracy and processing time. As a result, the proposed method showed improved processing time while maintaining a high recognition rate.

Camera pose information from 2D face image is very important for making virtual 3D face model synchronize with the real face. It is also very important for any other uses such as: human computer interface, 3D object estimation, automatic camera control etc. In this paper, we have presented a camera position determination algorithm from a single 2D face image using the relationship between mouth position information and face region boundary information. Our algorithm first corrects the color bias by a lighting compensation algorithm, then we nonlinearly transformed the image into $YC_bC_r$ color space and use the visible chrominance feature of face in this color space to detect human face region. And then for face candidate, use the nearly reversed relationship information between $C_b\;and\;C_r$ cluster of face feature to detect mouth position. And then we use the geometrical relationship between mouth position information and face region boundary information to determine rotation angles in both x-axis and y-axis of camera position and use the relationship between face region size information and Camera-Face distance information to determine the camera-face distance. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of our algorithm and the correct determination rate is accredited for applying it into practice.

This study is to help make-up and coordination for image-making after analysis of facial color and shape of elderly women. The data was analyzed 55-75 years old 212 elderly women's face color and pictures by means of SPSS 12.0 statistics package. On the basis of the colorimetric data on face by Minolta CM2500D, this research considered the analysis of facial color, patternization of facial color and its analysis by age group; for the analysis of facial shape, this research patternized facial shape and analyzed its characteristic using both contour-based facial shape analysis and Kamata facial shape analysis. As for facial color, it was found that the lower age bracket has bright and reddish face, looking fine, while the higher age bracket has a conspicuously yellowish face, looking bad. The community of facial color is classified as 3 types and it was found out that the facial color of the subjects belonging to Type 3, whose L value is the largest, looked the brightest; the face of the subjects belonging to Type 2, whose a value is the largest, was much tinged with red, and the face of the subjects belonging to Type 1, whose b value is the largest were tinged with yellow. According to the analysis of facial shape, there appeared oval & long forms in the classification by contour, while there appeared a lot of downward-directed power and inner-directed power in the classification by Kamata, which is believed to reflect the phenomenon that their chin line becomes roundish and the facial length also tend to be longer due to aging.

얼굴 검출은 복잡한 배경 내에서 다양한 얼굴의 자세로 인해 여전히 어려운 문제에 직면하고 있다. 본 논문은 피부색과 깊이 정보를 기반으로 한 한명 또는 여러 명의 얼굴을 검출하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 우리는 컬러 영상에서 가우시안 혼합 모델을 이용한 피부색 검출 방법에 대해 소개한다. 그리고 Kinect V2의 깊이 센서를 이용하여 획득한 3차원의 깊이 정보는 배경으로부터 사람의 몸을 분할할 때 유용하다. 그리고 레이블링 과정에서 여러 개의 특징을 이용하여 얼굴이 아닌 영역은 성공적으로 제거된다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 다양한 조건과 복잡한 배경에서 얼굴이 효과적으로 검출되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper describes a system fur tracking multiple faces in an input video sequence using facial convex hull based facial segmentation and robust hausdorff distance. The algorithm adapts skin color reference map in YCbCr color space and hair color reference map in RGB color space for classifying face region. Then, we obtain an initial face model with preprocessing and convex hull. For tracking, this algorithm computes displacement of the point set between frames using a robust hausdorff distance and the best possible displacement is selected. Finally, the initial face model is updated using the displacement. We provide an example to illustrate the proposed tracking algorithm, which efficiently tracks rotating and zooming faces as well as existing multiple faces in video sequences obtained from CCD camera.

Automatic human face detection in a complex background is one of the difficult problems In this paper. we propose an effective automatic face detection system that can locate the face region in natural scene images when the system is used as a pre-processor of a face recog- nition system. We use two natural and powerful visual cues, the color and the human head shape. The outline of the human head can be generally described as being roughly elliptic in nature. In the first step of the proposed system, we have tried the approach of fitting the best Possible ellipse to the outline of the head In the next step, the method based on the human skin color space by selecting flesh tone regions in color images and histogramming their r(＝R/(R＋G＋B)) and g(＝G/R＋G＋B)) values. According to our experiment. the proposed system shows robust location results

온라인 기반의 3차원 얼굴 애니메이션을 위해서 실시간으로 얼굴을 캡처하고 표정 데이터를 추출하는 것은 매우 중요한 작업이다. 최근 동영상 입력을 통해 연기자의 표정을 캡처하고 그것을 그대로 3차원 얼굴 모델에 표현하는 비전 기반(vision-based) 방법들에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문 에서는 실시간으로 입력되는 동영상으로부터 얼굴과 얼굴 특징점들을 자동으로 검출하고 이를 추적하는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 얼굴 검출과 얼굴 특징점 추출 및 추적과정으로 구성된다. 얼굴 검출은 3차원 YCbCr 피부 색상 모델을 이용하여 피부 영역을 분리하고 Harr 기반 검출기를 이용해 얼굴 여부를 판단한다. 얼굴 표정에 영향을 주는 눈과 입 영역의 검출은 밝기 정보와 특정 영역의 고유한 색상 정보를 이용한다. 검출된 눈과 입 영역에서 MPEG-4에서 정의한 FAP를 기준으로 10개의 특징점을 추출하고, 컬러 확률 분포의 추적을 통해 연속 프레임에서 특징점들의 변위를 구한다 실험 결과 제안 시스템 은 약 초당 8 프레임으로 표정 데이터를 추적하였다.
