현재 일상생활에서 얼굴 인식은 신원확인, 보안 등의 목적으로 사용되고 있다. 얼굴인식의 과정은 첫 번째로 얼굴이미지의 특징을 추출해야 한다. 다음으로 추출된 특징을 학습하고 그 중 학습이 잘된 식별력 있는 특징을 선택하게 된다. 그 이후 식별력 있는 특징을 이용하여 얼굴이미지를 인식하게 된다. 얼굴인식을 위해 사용하는 얼굴이미지의 특징의 수는 매우 많다. 이 많은 특징을 학습 및 인식에 다 사용할 경우 학습 시간과 컴퓨팅 자원의 효율성이 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 최근 여러가지의 Boosting 기법이 소개되어왔다. Boosting 기법은 특징을 효율적으로 선택하여 학습 알고리즘의 성능을 좋게해주는 기법이다. 그 중 MutualBoost라는 기법이 있는데 이 기법은 특징간의 상호정보를 이용하여 특징을 효율적으로 선택하게 하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 MutualBoost의 효과를 더 증대시키기 위해서 개별적인 특징학습이 아니라 특징들을 Group화하여 특징학습을 하는 GroupMutual-Boost기법을 제안한다. 특징들을 Group화 함으로써 특징의 학습 및 선택 시간이 줄어들게 되고 컴퓨팅 자원을 보다 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다.

The human faces do not have distinct features unlike other general objects. In general the features of eyes, nose and mouth which are first recognized when human being see the face are defined. These features have different characteristics depending on different human face. In this paper, We propose a face recognition algorithm using the hidden Markov model(HMM). In the preprocessing stage, we find edges of a face using the locally adaptive threshold scheme and extract features based on generic knowledge of a face, then construct a database with extracted features. In training stage, we generate HMM parameters for each person by using the forward-backward algorithm. In the recognition stage, we apply probability values calculated by the HMM to input data. Then the input face is recognized by the euclidean distance of face feature vector and the cross-correlation between the input image and the database image. Computer simulation shows that the proposed HMM algorithm gives higher recognition rate compared with conventional face recognition algorithms.

The latest global COVID-19 pandemic has made the use of facial masks an important aspect of our lives. People are advised to cover their faces in public spaces to discourage illness from spreading. Using these face masks posed a significant concern about the exactness of the face identification method used to search and unlock telephones at the school/office. Many companies have already built the requisite data in-house to incorporate such a scheme, using face recognition as an authentication. Unfortunately, veiled faces hinder the detection and acknowledgment of these facial identity schemes and seek to invalidate the internal data collection. Biometric systems that use the face as authentication cause problems with detection or recognition (face or persons). In this research, a novel model has been developed to detect and recognize faces and persons for authentication using scale invariant features (SIFT) for the whole segmented face with an efficient local binary texture features (DLBP) in region of eyes in the masked face. The Fuzzy C means is utilized to segment the image. These mixed features are trained significantly in a convolution neural network (CNN) model. The main advantage of this model is that can detect and recognizing faces by assigning weights to the selected features aimed to grant or provoke permissions with high accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a detection method for facial features in color images with various backgrounds and face poses. To begin with, the proposed method extracts face candidacy region from images with various backgrounds, which have skin-tone color and complex objects, via the color and edge information of face. And then, by using the elliptical shape property of face, we correct a rotation, scale, and tilt of face region caused by various poses of head. Finally, we verify the face using features of face and detect facial features. In our experimental results, it is shown that accuracy of detection is high and the proposed method can be used in pose-invariant face recognition system effectively

In this paper, we take some features for face recognition out of face image, using a simple type of templates. We use the extracted features to do Adaboost learning for face recognition. Using a carefully-chosen feature among these features, we can make a weak face classifier for face recognition. And doing Adaboost learning on and on with those chosen several weak classifiers, we can get a strong face classifier. By using Adaboost Loaming, we can choose particular features which is not easily subject to changes in illumination and facial expression about several images of one person, and construct face recognition system. Therefore, the face classifier bulit like the above way has robustness in both facial expression and illumination variation, and it finally gives capability of recognizing face fast due to the simple feature.

This paper proposes a topology-based algorithm for recognizing the passage features using a concept of multi-face hole loop. The Multi-face hole loop is a concetpual hole loop that is formed over several connected faces. A passage feature is recognized in the proposed approach by two multi-face hole loops that constitute its enterance and exit. The algorithm proposed in this paper checks the connectivity of the two multi-face hole loops to recognize passage features. The total number of passage features in a part is calculated from Euler equation and is compared with the number of found passage features to decide when to terminate. To find all multi-face hole loops in a part, this paper proposes an algorithm for finding all combinations of connected faces. The edge convexity is used to judge the validity of multi-face hole loops. By using the algorithm proposed in this paper, the passage features could be recognized effectively. The approach proposed in this paper is illustrated with several example parts.

In physiognomy, people's personality are judged by their types and features of the face, in Oriental medicine, types of the face is an important factor to judge whether one is falling ill or not. With the help of this kind of idea, we can assume that customers' preferences for automobile are different depending on their types and features of the face, and that it is also the case with their purchasing purpose. In addition, we think we can apply this physiognomical concept to marketing. The purpose of this study is analyzing people's difference of considering factors when buying automobiles and purchasing purpose according to their different types and features of the face. As a result, considering factors and purchasing purpose are different in proportion to sex, age, types and features of the face. When several more studies related to this study are performed, we expect that this study will be applied to marketing.

We present a simple and effective method of face and facial feature detection under pose variation of user face in complex background for the human-robot interaction. Our approach is a flexible method that can be performed in both color and gray facial image and is also feasible for detecting facial features in quasi real-time. Based on the characteristics of the intensity of neighborhood area of facial features, new directional template for facial feature is defined. From applying this template to input facial image, novel edge-like blob map (EBM) with multiple intensity strengths is constructed. Regardless of color information of input image, using this map and conditions for facial characteristics, we show that the locations of face and its features - i.e., two eyes and a mouth-can be successfully estimated. Without the information of facial area boundary, final candidate face region is determined by both obtained locations of facial features and weighted correlation values with standard facial templates. Experimental results from many color images and well-known gray level face database images authorize the usefulness of proposed algorithm.
