네트워크로 연결된 환경에서 PIN 번호를 이용해 사용자의 신분을 증명하고 인증하는 방식이 일반적으로 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 아이디나 비밀번호가 해킹을 통해 유출되면 금전적인 피해뿐만 아니라 개인의 사생활까지도 침해받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 아이디나 비밀번호가 유출될 염려가 없는 안전한 인증방식으로 얼굴인식을 채택하였다. 또한, 2-Tier 간의 인증방식이 아닌 점점 분산화 되어 가는 네트워크 시스템을 고려해 3-Tier이상의 분산된 환경에서 원격으로 신분을 증명하고 인증할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 인증시스템의 얼굴인식 알고리즘으로는 최근 분류(Classification)와 특징추출(Feature Extraction)에서 빠른 속도와 정확성을 보이는 SVM(Support Vector Machine)과 PCA를 이용해 얼굴 특징을 분석하고, 분산된 환경에서 인공지능 기법을 활용해 인식속도 및 정확성을 높일 수 있는 분산형 인공지능 얼굴인증 모듈을 구현하였다.

A challenging research issue that has been one of growing importance to those working in human-computer interaction are to endow a machine with an emotional intelligence. Thus, emotion recognition technology plays an important role in the research area of human-computer interaction, and it allows a more natural and more human-like communication between human and computer. In this paper, we propose the multimodal emotion recognition system using face and speech to improve recognition performance. The distance measurement of the face-based emotion recognition is calculated by 2D-PCA of MCS-LBP image and nearest neighbor classifier, and also the likelihood measurement is obtained by Gaussian mixture model algorithm based on pitch and mel-frequency cepstral coefficient features in speech-based emotion recognition. The individual matching scores obtained from face and speech are combined using a weighted-summation operation, and the fused-score is utilized to classify the human emotion. Through experimental results, the proposed method exhibits improved recognition accuracy of about 11.25% to 19.75% when compared to the most uni-modal approach. From these results, we confirmed that the proposed approach achieved a significant performance improvement and the proposed method was very effective.

Face recognition has recently become one of the most popular research areas in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and pattern recognition because it spans numerous applications, such as access control, surveillance, security, credit-card verification, and criminal identification. In this paper, we propose a simple descriptor called an ECSP(Extended Center-Symmetric Pattern) for illumination-robust face recognition. The ECSP operator encodes the texture information of a local face region by emphasizing diagonal components of a previous CS-LBP(Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern). Here, the diagonal components are emphasized because facial textures along the diagonal direction contain much more information than those of other directions. The facial texture information of the ECSP operator is then used as the input image of an image covariance-based feature extraction algorithm such as 2D-PCA(Two-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis). Performance evaluation of the proposed approach was carried out using various binary pattern operators and recognition algorithms on the Yale B database. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach achieved better recognition accuracy than other approaches, and we confirmed that the proposed approach is effective against illumination variation.

Tracking human body is an important problem in computer vision field. Tracking failures caused by occlusion can lead to wrong rectification of the target position. In this paper, a robust human tracking algorithm is proposed to address the problem of occlusion, rotation and improve the tracking accuracy. It is based on Tracking-Learning-Detection framework. The key auxiliary information is used in the framework which motivated by the fact that a tracking target is usually embedded in the context that provides useful information. First, face localization method is utilized to find key face location information. Second, the relative position relationship is established between the auxiliary information and the target location. With the relevant model, the key face information will get the current target position when a target has disappeared. Thus, the target can be stably tracked even when it is partially or fully occluded. Experiments are conducted in various challenging videos. In conjunction with online update, the results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional TLD algorithm, and it has a relatively better tracking performance than other state-of-the-art methods.

A modified model combining Kriging and Monte Carlo method (MC) is proposed for probabilistic estimation of tunnel face stability in this paper. In the model, a novel uniform design is adopted to train the Kriging, instead of the existing active learning function. It has advantage of avoiding addition of new training points iteratively, and greatly saves the computational time in model training. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is employed to define the deterministic computational model of face failure, in which the Hoek-Brown failure criterion is introduced to account for the nonlinear behaviors of rock mass. The trained Kriging is used as a surrogate model to perform MC with dramatic reduction of calls to actual limit state function. The parameters in Hoek-Brown failure criterion are considered as random variables in the analysis. The failure probability is estimated by direct MC to test the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed probabilistic model. The influences of uncertainty level, correlation relationship and distribution type of random variables are further discussed using the proposed approach. In summary, the probabilistic model is an accurate and economical alternative to perform probabilistic stability analysis of tunnel face excavated in spatially random Hoek- Brown media.

The component-based method is widely used to analyze the initial stiffness of joint in steel structures. In this study, an analytical component model for determining the column face stiffness of square or rectangular hollow section (SHS/RHS) subjected to tension was established, focusing on endplate connections. Equations for calculating the stiffness of the SHS/RHS column face in bending were derived through regression analysis using numerical results obtained from a finite element model database. Because the presence of bolt holes decreased the bending stiffness of the column face, this effect was calculated using a novel plate-spring-based model through numerical analysis. The developed component model was first applied to predict the bending stiffness of the SHS column face determined through tests. Furthermore, this model was incorporated into the component-based method with other effective components, e.g., bolts under tension, to determine the tensile stiffness of the T-stub connections, which connects the SHS column, and the initial rotational stiffness of the joints. A comparison between the model predictions, test data, and numerical results confirms that the proposed model shows satisfactory accuracy in evaluating the bending stiffness of SHS column faces.

With the development of deep learning, face inpainting has been significantly enhanced in the past few years. Although image inpainting framework integrated with generative adversarial network or attention mechanism enhanced the semantic understanding among facial components, the issues of reconstruction on corrupted regions are still worthy to explore, such as blurred edge structure, excessive smoothness, unreasonable semantic understanding and visual artifacts, etc. To address these issues, we propose a Learnable Structure Knowledge of Fusion Network (LSK-FNet), which learns a prior knowledge by edge generation network for image inpainting. The architecture involves two steps: Firstly, structure information obtained by edge generation network is used as the prior knowledge for face inpainting network. Secondly, both the generated prior knowledge and the incomplete image are fed into the face inpainting network together to get the fusion information. To improve the accuracy of inpainting, both of gated convolution and region normalization are applied in our proposed model. We evaluate our LSK-FNet qualitatively and quantitatively on the CelebA-HQ dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that the edge structure and details of facial images can be improved by using LSK-FNet. Our model surpasses the compared models on L1, PSNR and SSIM metrics. When the masked region is less than 20%, L1 loss reduce by more than 4.3%.

조명 환경에 의해 발생하는 강한 그림자 영역은 반사 영상을 이용하는 얼굴인식시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 주요인으로써, 인식률을 향상시키기 위해서는 강한 그림자 영역과 얼굴의 특징 영역을 구분해 낼 필요가 있다. 한편 Bilateral 필터는 영상 화소 값의 비선형적인 조합을 사용하여 경계영역을 보존하면서도, 전체 영상을 평활화할 수 있는 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 Bilateral 필터의 특성은 레티넥스 기반 조명 정규화 방법에서의 조명을 추정하는 과정에 사용되는 평활화 필터에 적합하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 강한 그림자 영역을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 Bilateral 필터 기반의 새로운 조명 정규화 방법을 제안한다. Bilateral 필터의 계수는 화소 간 근접성(proximity)과 불연속성(discontinuity)의 곱으로 설계하여, 추정된 조명 영상에서 강한 그림자 영역이 비교적 정확하게 보존되도록 한다. 제안된 방법의 성능은 PCA(Principle Component Analysis)를 이용하여 인식률을 측정하고, 두 가지 데이터베이스에 대해 기존의 조명 정규화 방법들과 비교하여 평가하였다.
