Compared to other emotion recognition technology, facial expression recognition technology has the merit of non-contact, non-enforceable and convenience. In order to apply to a psychological robot, vision technology must be able to quickly and accurately extract the face region in the previous step of facial expression recognition. In this paper, we remove the background from any image using the YCbCr skin color technology, and use Haar-like Feature technology for robust face detection. We got the result of improved processing speed and robust face detection by removing the background from the input image.

In this paper, We proposed that real-time pupil detection using local binarization at each region of eyes in image. In image obtained a single low-resolution web-camera, we detect a region of face using haar-like feature and then detect each region of eyes depending upon the rate of width and height of region of face respectively. In each region of eyes, we detect the pupil after local preprocessing and binarizing. This pupil detection can be variously used for HCI(Human-Computer Interface) systems.

Face detection algorithm of OpenCV recognizes the faces by Haar matching between input image and Haar features which are learned through a set of training images consisting of many front faces. Therefore the face detection method by Haar matching yields a high face detection rate for the front faces but not in the case of the pan and deformed faces. On the assumption that distributional characteristics of color histogram is similar even if deformed or side faces, a face detection method using the histogram pattern matching is proposed in this paper. In the case of the missed detection and false detection caused by Haar matching, the proposed face detection algorithm applies the histogram pattern matching with the correct detected face area of the previous frame so that the face region with the most similar histogram distribution is determined. The experiment for evaluating the face detection performance reveals that the face detection rate was enhanced about 8% than the conventional method.

This paper proposes an effective method using Adaptive Boosting to track a person's head in complex background. By only one way to feature extraction methods are not sufficient for modeling a person's head. Therefore, the method proposed in this paper, several feature extraction methods for the accuracy of the detection head running at the same time. Feature Extraction for the imaging of the head was extracted using sub-region and Haar wavelet transform. Sub-region represents the local characteristics of the head, Haar wavelet transform can indicate the frequency characteristics of face. Therefore, if we use them to extract the features of face, effective modeling is possible. In the proposed method to track down the man's head from the input video in real time, we ues the results after learning Harr-wavelet characteristics of the three types using AdaBoosting algorithm. Originally the AdaBoosting algorithm, there is a very long learning time, if learning data was changes, and then it is need to be performed learning again. In order to overcome this shortcoming, in this research propose efficient method using cascade AdaBoosting. This method reduces the learning time for the imaging of the head, and can respond effectively to changes in the learning data. The proposed method generated classifier with excellent performance using less learning time and learning data. In addition, this method accurately detect and track head of person from a variety of head data in real-time video images.

본 논문은 사람의 얼굴 영상에서 잡티를 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 입력받은 영상에서 Haar-like Feature 기반 Adaboost 알고리즘과 색상 정보를 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출한다. 검출된 얼굴 영역에서 잡티를 제거하기 위해서는 먼저 눈, 코, 입, 눈썹과 같은 얼굴의 주요부위를 검출하고 이 영역을 제외한 순수 피부 영역에 잡티 검출 알고리즘을 적용해야한다. 사람의 얼굴은 미세하게 명암도 차이가 나는 부분이 많기 때문에 가우시안 스무딩을 적용한 후, 그래프 기반 분할 방법을 사용하여 눈, 입, 눈썹을 분할한다. 코 영역은 각 픽셀에 대해 인접픽셀과의 R 채널의 차이값을 가중치 맵으로 만들고 가중치 맵을 분석하여 영역을 분할한다. 분할된 영역에 사람 얼굴의 기하학적 위치 정보를 이용하여 주요부위를 검출한다. 얼굴의 주요부위를 검출하고 그 부위를 제외한 피부 영역에 잡티 검출 알고리즘을 적용한다. 잡티는 Edge와 색상 정보를 이용하여 검출하고, 잡티주변을 검사하여 잡티가 아닌 깨끗한 피부를 잡티 영역에 복사하여 채워나가는 방식으로 피부 영역을 복원한다.

The purpose of this paper is to develope the drowsiness-drive perception system which judges drowsiness driving based on drivers' eye region using single vision system. To do this, first, we use the Haar-like feature and AdaBoost learning algorithm for detecting the features of the face region. And we measure the eye blinking frequency and eye closure duration from these feature data. And then, we propose the drowsiness-drive detection algorithm using the eye blinking frequency and eye closure duration. Finally, we have shown the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

In this paper, we propose the horizontal line detection using the Haar-like features and linear regression in infrared images. In the marine environment horizon image is very useful information on a variety of systems. In the proposed method Haar-like features it was noted that the standard deviation be calculated in real time on a static area. Based on the pixel position, calculating the standard deviation of the around area in real time and, if the reaction is to filter out the largest pixel can get the energy map of the area containing the straight horizontal line. In order to select a horizontal line of pixels from the energy map, we applied the linear regression, calculating a linear fit to the transverse horizontal line across the image to select the candidate optimal horizontal. The proposed method was carried out in a horizontal line detecting real infrared image experiment for day and night, it was confirmed the excellent detection results than the legacy methods.

OpenCV(Open Computer Vision)에서 제공하는 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 Haar-like feature와 Cascade 방식을 이용하여 얼굴의 패턴을 찾아내 얼굴을 검출한다. 그러나 우연히 얼굴이 아닌 곳이 얼굴과 유사한 패턴일 경우, 얼굴로 인식하는 오류를 범하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 MCT(Modified Census Transform)와 신경망을 이용하여 잘못된 얼굴 검출 영역을 감소시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다. MCT는 다양한 조명 조건에서도 강인한 얼굴 영상의 지역적 구조 특징을 추출하기 위하여 사용되고, 신경망 알고리즘은 Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법으로 검출된 영역이 실제로 얼굴인지 아닌지를 판단하기 위하여 사용된다. 실험에서 사용된 6개의 데이터들은 인터넷에서 수집한 것으로서, Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법으로 얼굴을 검출하였을 때 오검출된 영역이 1개 이상 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘으로 실험한 결과, Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법에 비하여 오검출된 영역이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper addresses a method of estimating roughly the human pose by comparing Haar-wavelet value which is learned in face detection technology using AdaBoost algorithm. We also presents its application to face recognition. The learned weak classifier is used to a Haar-wavelet robust to each pose's feature by comparing the coefficients during the process of face detection. The Mahalanobis distance is used to measure the matching degree in Haar-wavelet selection. When a facial image is detected using the selected Haar-wavelet, the pose is estimated. The proposed pose estimation can be used to improve face recognition speed. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method for pose estimation.
