본 논문은 조명 변화, 표정 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 강인하고 적은 메모리양과 계산량을 갖는 효율적인 얼굴 인식 방법을 제안한다. SKKUface(Sungkyunkwan University face)라 명명한 이 방법은 먼저 훈련 영상에 PCA(principal component analysis)를 적용하여 차원을 줄일 때 구해지는 특징 벡터 공간에서 조명 변화, 얼굴 표정 변화 등에 해당되는 공간이 최대한 제외된 새로운 특징 벡터 공간을 생성한다. 이러한 특징 벡터 공간은 얼굴의 고유특징만을 주로 포함하는 벡터 공간이므로 이러한 벡터 공간에 Fisher linear discriminant를 적용하면 클래스간의 더욱 효과적인 분리가 이루어져 인식률을 획기적으로 향상시킨다. 또한, SKKUface 방법은 클래스간 분산(between-class covariance) 행렬과 클래스내 분산(within-class covariance) 행렬을 계산할 때 문제가 되는 메모리양과 계산 시간을 획기적으로 줄이는 방법을 제안하여 적용하였다. 제안된 SKKUface 방법의 얼굴 인식 성능을 평가하기 위하여 YALE, SKKU, ORL(Olivetti Research Laboratory) 얼굴 데이타베이스를 가지고 기존의 얼굴 인식 방법으로 널리 알려진 Eigenface 방법, Fisherface 방법과 함께 인식률을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 SKKUface 방법이 조명 변화, 부분적인 오클루전이 있는 얼굴 영상에 대해서 Eigenface 방법과 Fisherface 방법에 비해 인식률이 상당히 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper we propose effective speech recognizer through two recognition experiments. In general, SVM is classification method which classify two class set by finding voluntary nonlinear boundary in vector space and possesses high classification performance under few training data number. In this paper we compare recognition performance of HMM and SVM at training data number and investigate recognition performance of each feature parameter while changing feature space of MFCC using Independent Component Analysis(ICA) and Principal Component Analysis(PCA). As a result of experiment, recognition performance of SVM is better than 1:.um under few training data number, and feature parameter by ICA showed the highest recognition performance because of superior linear classification.

Representation based classification, kernel method and sparse representation have received much attention in the field of face recognition. In this paper, we proposed an improved kernel principal component analysis method based on sparse representation to improve the accuracy and robustness for face recognition. First, the distances between the test sample and all training samples in kernel space are estimated based on collaborative representation. Second, S training samples with the smallest distances are selected, and Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is used to extract the features that are exploited for classification. The proposed method implements the sparse representation under ℓ₂ regularization and performs feature extraction twice to improve the robustness. Also, we investigate the relationship between the accuracy and the sparseness coefficient, the relationship between the accuracy and the dimensionality respectively. The comparative experiments are conducted on the ORL, the GT and the UMIST face database. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective and robust than several state-of-the-art methods including Sparse Representation based Classification (SRC), Collaborative Representation based Classification (CRC), KCRC and Two Phase Test samples Sparse Representation (TPTSR).

A Walsh function based associative memory is capable of storing m patterns in a single pattern storage space with Walsh encoding of each pattern. Furthermore, each stored pattern can be matched against the stored patterns extremely fast using algorithmic parallel processing. As such, this special type of memory is ideal for real-time processing of large scale information. However this incredible efficiency generates large amount of crosstalk between stored patterns that incurs mis-recognition. This crosstalk is a function of the set of different sequencies [number of zero crossings] of the Walsh function associated with each pattern to be stored. This sequency set is thus optimized in this paper to minimize mis-recognition, as well as to maximize memory saying. In this paper, this Walsh memory has been applied to the problem of face recognition, where PCA is applied to dimensionality reduction. The maximum Walsh spectral component and genetic algorithm (GA) are applied to determine the optimal Walsh function set to be associated with the data to be stored. The experimental results indicate that the proposed methods provide a novel and robust technology to achieve an error-free, real-time, and memory-saving recognition of large scale patterns.

In this paper, we describe a method that can recognize gestures and evaluate the degree of the gestures from sequential gesture images by using Gesture Feature Space. The previous popular methods based on HMM and neural network have difficulties in recognizing the degree of gesture even though it can classify gesture into some kinds. However, our proposed method can recognize not only posture but also the degree information of the gestures, such as speed and magnitude by calculating distance among the position vectors substituting input and model images in parametric eigenspace. This method which can be applied in various applications such as intelligent interface systems and surveillance systems is a simple and robust recognition algorithm.

In this study, a system is proposed for analyzing whether driver's eyes are open or closed on the basis of images to determine driver's drowsiness. The proposed system converts eye areas detected by a camera to a color space area to effectively detect eyes in a dark situation, for example, tunnels, and a bright situation due to a backlight. In addition, the system used a thickness distribution of a detected eye area as a feature value to analyze whether eyes are open or closed through the Support Vector Machine(SVM), representing 90.09% of accuracy. In the experiment for the images of driver wearing glasses, 83.83% of accuracy was obtained. In addition, in a comparative experiment with the existing PCA method by using Eigen-eye and Pupil Measuring System the detection rate is shown improved. After the experiment, driver's drowsiness was identified accurately by using the method of summing up the state of driver's eyes open and closes over time and the method of detecting driver's eyes that continue to be closed to examine drowsy driving.

This paper describes an algorithm that can recognize gestures constructing subspace gesture symbols with hybrid feature information. The previous popular methods based on geometric feature and appearance have resulted in ambiguous output in case of recognizing between similar gesture because they use just the Position information of the hands, feet or bodily shape features. However, our proposed method can classify not only recognition of motion but also similar gestures by the partial feature information presenting which parts of body move and the global feature information including 2-dimensional bodily motion. And this method which is a simple and robust recognition algorithm can be applied in various application such surveillance system and intelligent interface systems.

Classification is to generate a rule of classifying objects into several categories based on the learning sample. Good classification model should classify new objects with low misclassification error. Many types of classification methods have been developed including logistic regression, discriminant analysis and tree. This paper presents a new classification method using penalized partial least squares. Penalized partial least squares can make the model more robust and remedy multicollinearity problem. This paper compares the proposed method with logistic regression and PCA based discriminant analysis by some real and artificial data. It is concluded that the new method has better power as compared with other methods.

임의의 영상에서 얼굴을 검출하는 것은 얼굴을 인식하는데 있어서 선행되어야 할 필수과정이다. 본 논문은 조명의 변화가 심한 컬러영상에서 얼굴을 검출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 논문은 기존의 기하학적 밝기분포 마스크만을 사용한 방법이 조명 변화에 취약한 단점을 보완하는데 중점을 두었다. 히스토그램 평활화(Histogram Equalization : HE)와 감마 크기 보정 (Gamma Intensity Correction : GIC) 방법을 이용해서 조명에 대한 간섭을 줄인 후, 영상 전체에서 피부 영역을 추출하고 이어서 눈 후보들을 검출한다. 검출된 눈 후보들로부터 기하학적 밝기분포 마스크를 적용하여 효과적으로 얼굴 후보들을 찾을 수 있고, 이렇게 찾아진 얼굴 후보들은 주성분분석법(Principal Component Analysis : PCA)를 이용해서 얼굴인지 여부를 판별하게 된다. 본 알고리즘은 조명 밝기 등으로 인해 검출률이 떨어졌던 단점을 보완할 수 있었고, 향후 얼굴 검출 분야에 있어서도 활용 가치가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

To make a robust object tracking and identifying system for an intelligent robot and/or home system, heterogeneous sensor fusion between visible ray system and infrared ray system is proposed. The proposed system separates the object by combining the ROI (Region of Interest) estimated from two different images based on a heterogeneous sensor that consolidates the ordinary CCD camera and the IR (Infrared) camera. Human's body and face are detected in both images by using different algorithms, such as histogram, optical-flow, skin-color model and Haar model. Also the pose of human body is estimated from the result of body detection in IR image by using PCA algorithm along with AdaBoost algorithm. Then, the results from each detection algorithm are fused to extract the best detection result. To verify the heterogeneous sensor fusion system, few experiments were done in various environments. From the experimental results, the system seems to have good tracking and identification performance regardless of the environmental changes. The application area of the proposed system is not limited to robot or home system but the surveillance system and military system.
