Objectives : This study is designed in order to evaluate oriental medical treatment of facial diplegia with continued facial palsy. Methods : The authors observed patients by Yanagihara's unweighted grading system for operated acupuncture treatment, herbal medicine treatment and physiotherapy. Results & Conclusions : 1. Both facial grade had different scores in Yanagihara's unweighted grading system for 2 cases when the facial palsy occured. 2. Both cases were diagnosed in wind-cold(feng-han) type. 3. The left and right side of face took different amount of time to recover. 4. Facial diplegia was significantly improved.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely used in facial expression recognition (FER) because it can automatically learn discriminative appearance features from an expression image. To make full use of its discriminating capability, this paper suggests a simple but effective method for CNN based FER. Specifically, instead of an original expression image that contains facial appearance only, the expression image with facial geometry visualization is used as input to CNN. In this way, geometric and appearance features could be simultaneously learned, making CNN more discriminative for FER. A simple CNN extension is also presented in this paper, aiming to utilize geometric expression change derived from an expression image sequence. Experimental results on two public datasets (CK+ and MMI) show that CNN using facial geometry visualization clearly outperforms the conventional CNN using facial appearance only.

본 논문에서는 2차원 얼굴 영상의 움직임을 추출하여 3차원 얼굴 모델에 합성하는 방법을 연구하였다. 본 논문은 동영상에서의 움직임을 추정하기 위하여 광류를 기반으로 한 추정방법을 이용하였다. 2차원 동영상에서 얼굴요소 및 얼굴의 움직임을 추정하기 위해 인접한 두 영상으로부터 계산된 광류를 가장 잘 고려하는 매개변수화된 움직임 벡터들을 추출한다. 그리고 나서, 이를 소수의 매개변수들의 조합으로 만들어 얼굴의 움직임에 대한 정보를 묘사할 수 있게 하였다. 매개변수화 된 움직임 벡터는 눈 영역, 입술과 눈썹 영역, 그리고 얼굴영역을 위한 서로 다른 세 종류의 움직임을 위하여 사용하였다. 이를 얼굴 모델의 움직임을 합성할 수 있는 단위행위(Action Unit)와 결합하여 2차원 동영상에서의 얼굴 움직임을 3 차원으로 합성한 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

In Facial Expression Recognition Systems (FERS), only particular regions of the face are utilized for discrimination. The areas of the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth are the most important features in any FERS. Applying facial features descriptors such as the local binary pattern (LBP) on such areas results in an effective and efficient FERS. In this paper, we propose an automatic facial expression recognition system. Unlike other systems, it detects and extracts the informative and discriminant regions of the face (i.e., eyes, nose, and mouth areas) using Haar-feature based cascade classifiers and these region-based features are stored into separate image files as a preprocessing step. Then, LBP is applied to these image files for facial texture representation and a feature-vector per subject is obtained by concatenating the resulting LBP histograms of the decomposed region-based features. The one-vs.-rest SVM, which is a popular multi-classification method, is employed with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) for facial expression classification. Experimental results show that this approach yields good performance for both frontal and near-frontal facial images in terms of accuracy and time complexity. Cohn-Kanade and JAFFE, which are benchmark facial expression datasets, are used to evaluate this approach.

Objective : This study was carried out to investigate the progress of bilateral simultaneous facial palsy and the effect of Hominis Placenta herbal-acupunture and the other oriental medical therapies. Method : We used two methods to research the progress of disease. 1. Diagnosis - Facial muscle test, Taste test, Hearing test, Photographies, Lab-finding 2. Treatment - Acupuncture, Herbal-acupuncture, Electroacupuncture, Herb-med Edema rate, Pain endurance, WBC, Hemoglobin, Platelet, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, RA factor, CRP Results : The onset of Rt. facial palsy was earlier than Lt. facial palsy 3days. The reaction on the treatment of Rt. facial palsy was more dull than Lt. facial palsy. In terms of treatment period, Rt. facial palsy was very longer than Lt. facial palsy. Conclusion : According to the above results, we discoveried that Hominis Placenta herbal-acupunture and the other oriental medical therapies had good influence on the bilateral simultaneous facial palsy. In the future, we should endeavor to know influence between Rt. and Lt. face in case of bilateral simultaneous Bell's palsy.

얼굴 인상과 얼굴의 물리적 특징 사이의 관계를 분석하고 인상이 얼굴의 유사성 판단에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 얼굴 데이터베이스로부터 선정한 79개의 얼굴에 대해 '순하다-사납다', '영리하다-우둔하다', '여성스럽다-남자답다', '앳되다-성숙하다'의 네 개 차원에 대한 인상 평정값과 41개의 물리적 특징의 측정값을 수집하였다. 두 가지 값을 대상으로 한 중다 회귀 분석 결과, 얼굴의 물리적 구조가 인상과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 얼굴의 유사성 판단 실험을 통해서 인상이 얼굴 정보 처리 과정에서의 사용 가능성을 확인하였다. 실험 결과, 사람들은 물리적 특징 조건이 비슷할 때 중성 인상의 얼굴보다 동일한 인상의 얼굴들을 더 유사하게 지각하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 인상이 얼굴 생김새를 표상하는 심리적인 구조로 사용되며 인상 정보가 얼굴 처리 과정에 포함될 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

The growth changes in craniofacial depth and height from seven to eleven years of age have been studied in thirty two Korean children, consisted of seventeen boys and fifteen girls. The data was obtained from lateral cephalometric radiographs analyzed by the Coben's coordinate system, and the main conclusions might be summarized as follows. 1. Among the craniofacial depth increments the lower facial depth dimension increased the most, mid-facial depth dimension increased loss, and cranial depth dimension increased the least. 2. In spite of the increasing depth dimensions, the mid-facial depth proportion had a tendency to remain stable. 3. The degree of overbite increased markedly from seven to eleven years of age. 4. Increment in the total anterior facial height dimension was larger than that in the total posterior facial height, and the upper anterior facial height increased more than the lower anterior facial height. 5. The lower facial depth proportion increased markedly, and the convexity of the face was reduced significantly. 6. The posterior facial height tended to show small proportional changes. 7. The growth increments in craniofacial complex were larger in the facial height than in the facial depth.

Facial asymmetry is found in patients with or without cosmetic facial alterations. Some patients have facial asymmetry that manifests underlying skeletal problems, while others have only limited soft-tissue facial asymmetry. Orthognathic surgery brings about a dermatic change, as soft tissue covers underlying bones. Limited soft-tissue asymmetry, meanwhile, is difficult to correct. The treatment modalities for the creation or restoration of an esthetically pleasing appearance were autogenous fat grafts, cartilage graft, and silicon injections. A young female patient had right-side facial asymmetry. The clinical assessment involved visual inspection of the face and palpation to differentiate soft tissue and bone. Although the extra-oral examination found facial asymmetry with skin atrophy, the radiographic findings revealed no mandibular atrophy or deviation. She was diagnosed as localized scleroderma with muscle spasm. In conclusion, facial asymmetry patients with skeletal asymmetry can be esthetically satisfied by orthognathic surgery; however, facial atrophy patients with skin or subdermal tissue contraction need treatment by cosmetic dermatological surgery and orthodontic correction.
