본 연구의 목적은 이미지 랜드마크 선정 기법을 기반으로, 인공신경망 안면 영상분석 시스템의 성능을 향상하기 위한 내용이다. 랜드마크 선정을 위하여 안면 이미지 연령을 분류를 위한 CNN 기반의 다층 ResNet 모델의 구성이 필요하며, ResNet 모델에서 입력 노드의 변화에 따른 출력 노드의 변화를 감지하는 히트 맵을 추출한다. 추출된 다수의 히트 맵을 결합하여 연령 구분 예측과 관계된 안면 랜드마크를 구성한다. 이를 통하여, 안면 랜드마크를 통하여 픽셀의 위치별 중요도를 분석할 수 있으며, 가중치가 낮은 픽셀의 제거함으로서 상당량의 입력 데이터 감소가 가능해졌다. 이러한 기법은 인공신경망 시스템의 연산 성능 향상에 기여하게 된다.

In this study, the automatic face tracking algorithm is proposed by using the color and edge information of a color image. To reduce the effects of variations in the illumination conditions, an acquired CCD color image is first transformed into YCbCr color coordinates, and subsequently the morphological image processing operations, and the elliptical geometric measures are applied to extract the refined facial area.

This letter presents a new feature extraction method based on the private energy map (PEM) technique to utilize the energy characteristics of a facial image. Compared with a non-facial image, a facial image shows large energy congestion in special regions of discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. The PEM is generated by energy probability of the DCT coefficients of facial images. In experiments, higher face recognition performance figures of 100% for the ORL database and 98.8% for the ETRI database have been achieved.

In this paper, we propose a method of glasses detection in facial image. we develop a detection method of glasses with a weighted sum of the results that detected by facial element detection and glasses frame candidate region. Component of the face detection method detects the glasses, by defining the detection probability of the glasses according to the detection of a face component. Method using the candidate region of the glasses frame detects the glasses, by defining feature of the glasses frame in the candidate region. finally, The results of the combined weight of both methods are obtained. The proposed method in this paper is expected to increase security system's recognition on facial accessories by raising detection performance of glasses or sunglasses for using ATM.

Facial expression recognition can aid in the development of fatigue driving detection, teaching quality evaluation, and other fields. In this study, a facial expression recognition method was proposed with a residual masking reconstruction network as its backbone to achieve more efficient expression recognition and classification. The residual layer was used to acquire and capture the information features of the input image, and the masking layer was used for the weight coefficients corresponding to different information features to achieve accurate and effective image analysis for images of different sizes. To further improve the performance of expression analysis, the loss function of the model is optimized from two aspects, feature dimension and data dimension, to enhance the accurate mapping relationship between facial features and emotional labels. The simulation results show that the ROC of the proposed method was maintained above 0.9995, which can accurately distinguish different expressions. The precision was 75.98%, indicating excellent performance of the facial expression recognition model.

In this paper, we proposed the Bi-Modal Sensor Fusion Algorithm which is the emotional recognition method that be able to classify 4 emotions (Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprise) by using facial image and speech signal together. We extract the feature vectors from speech signal using acoustic feature without language feature and classify emotional pattern using Neural-Network. We also make the feature selection of mouth, eyes and eyebrows from facial image. and extracted feature vectors that apply to Principal Component Analysis(PCA) remakes low dimension feature vector. So we proposed method to fused into result value of emotion recognition by using facial image and speech.

This paper proposes a method which analyzes facial shape and extracts positions of eyes regardless of the tilt and the size of input iamge. With the extracted feature parameters of facial element by the method, full human faces are recognized by a neural network which BP algorithm is applied on. Input image is changed into binary codes, and then labelled. Area, circumference, and circular degree of the labelled binary image are obtained by using chain code and defined as feature parameters of face image. We first extract two eyes from the similarity and distance of feature parameter of each facial element, and then input face image is corrected by standardizing on two extracted eyes. After a mask is genrated line historgram is applied to finding the feature points of facial elements. Distances and angles between the feature points are used as parameters to recognize full face. To show the validity learning algorithm. We confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows 100% recognition rate on both learned and non-learned data for 20 persons.

Facial expression recognition systems using video devices have emerged as an important component of natural human-machine interfaces which contribute to various practical applications such as security systems, behavioral science and clinical practices. In this work, we present a new method to analyze, represent and recognize human facial expressions using a sequence of facial images. Under our proposed facial expression recognition framework, the overall procedure includes: accurate face detection to remove background and noise effects from the raw image sequences and align each image using vertex mask generation. Furthermore, these features are reduced by principal component analysis. Finally, these augmented features are trained and tested using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The experimental evaluation demonstrated the proposed approach over two public datasets such as Cohn-Kanade and AT&T datasets of facial expression videos that achieved expression recognition results as 96.75% and 96.92%. Besides, the recognition results show the superiority of the proposed approach over the state of the art methods.

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.
