This paper proposes a fast face detection and tracking method which uses depth images as well as RGB images. It consists of the face detection procedure and the face tracking procedure. The face detection method basically uses an existing method, Adaboost, but it reduces the size of the search area by using the depth image. The proposed face tracking method uses a template matching technique and incorporates an early-termination scheme to reduce the execution time further. The results from implementing and experimenting the proposed methods showed that the proposed face detection method takes only about 39% of the execution time of the existing method. The proposed tracking method takes only 2.48ms per frame with $640{\times}480$ resolution. For the exactness, the proposed detection method showed a little lower in detection ratio but in the error ratio, which is for the cases when a detected one as a face is not really a face, the proposed method showed only about 38% of that of the previous method. The proposed face tracking method turned out to have a trade-off relationship between the execution time and the exactness. In all the cases except a special one, the tracking error ratio is as low as about 1%. Therefore, we expect the proposed face detection and tracking methods can be used individually or in combined for many applications that need fast execution and exact detection or tracking.

얼굴인식의 방법 중 하나인 전체얼굴에 대한 인식 방법으로, 고유벡터를 이용한 인식 방법과 템플릿 매칭을 이용한 방법의 차이점을 비교 연구한다. 고유벡터를 이용한 방법은 얼굴 영상에 대한 벡터공간을 얻은 후 각 얼굴 영상을 구별할 수 있는 공간에 대한 투영을 통하여 인식에 이용한다. 템플릿 매칭에 기반한 방법은 몇가지 유사도 정의를 이용한 것이다. 또한 얼굴 영상에 대한 전처리 과정이 인식에 끼치는 영향도 분석한다. 본 논문은 두가지의 얼굴 영상 인식기술의 비교를 통하여 얼굴 영상의 인식에 대한 유용한 도구로서 에지영상을 이용한 KL변환 방법이 더 우수함을 보인다.

This paper presents the method for detection and tracking of multiple humans robustly in mobile platform. The perception of human is performed in real time through the processing of images acquired from a moving stereo vision system. We performed multi-cue integration such as human shape, skin color and depth information to detect and track each human in moving background scene. Human shape is measured by edge-based template matching on distance transformed image. Improving robustness for human detection, we apply the human face skin color in HSV color space. And we could increase the accuracy and the robustness in both detection and tracking by applying random sampling stochastic estimati...

This paper is to propose the palm print recognition system using wavelet transform. The palm print is frequently used as the material for the biometric recognition system such as the finger print, iris, face, etc. Since the palm print has lots of properties which include principle line, wrinkles, ridge and so forth, the ways of the implementation of the system are various. In this paper, at first, the palm print image is acquired and then some level of wavelet transform is performed. The coefficients become to be some blocks size of M by N after divided into the horizontal, vertical, diagonal components each level. The mean values, which are calculated with values of each block, are used as the feature vector. To compare between the stored template and the acquired vectors, we adopt the PNN (Probability Neural Network) method.

본 논문에서는 실린더 모델을 이용하여 머리의 다양한 포즈 변화와 조명 변화에 대해 강인한 얼굴 인식을 제안하고자 한다. 실린더 모델은 사람의 머리가 실린더 모양과 유사하고 그 표면은 얼굴에 해당된다고 가정한다. 실린더 모델은 6가지의 모션 파라메터를 따라 움직이며 Lucas-Kanade 알고리즘에 의해 모션 파라메터의 양을 결정한다. 강인한 동작을 위해 템플릿을 지속적으로 바꿔주는 동적 템플릿(dynamic template)방법과 그에 따른 에러가 누적되는 것을 막기 위해 re-registration방법을 사용한다. 조명 문제를 해결하기 위해 템플릿에서 조명 주성분 벡터를 추출하여 제거하는 방법으로 조명 효과를 제거한다. 실험에서는 다양한 포즈 변화와 조명 변화가 반영된 얼굴 데이터베이스를 구축하고 추출한 텍스쳐 맵(texture map image)을 SVM에 적용함으로서 포즈, 조명 변화에 강인한 얼굴인식을 보인다.

본 연구는 실시간 영상에서 정면 얼굴을 가지고 있는 이미지를 탐지하는 방법에 대한 것이다. 모든 프레임마다 얼굴 인식 등의 연산을 수행한다면 계산량과 시간이 문제이다. 우리가 제안하는 방법은 동일인이 등장하는 영상 중 동일한 얼굴을 추적하여 움직임의 차이를 이용하여 정면 이미지를 판단하는 것이다. Gaussian Mixture Model 과 Motion template 을 이용하였으며, 실험을 통해 도출된 결과는 제안 알고리즘의 유용성을 어느 정도 증명할 수 있었다.

This study was performed to investigate the average anthropometric value of normal Korean men and women and to compare the preceding literatures. Additionally, average Korean profilogram was made to serve as a template for diagnosis of facial form. Eighty five Korean subjects(41 men, 44 women) aged between 21 to 26 were selected by members of the author's department on the basis of intact dentition and Class I occlusion without facial asymmetry. Frontal and lateral photographs were taken under standardized condition with digital camera. The image was magnified and adjusted according to the FH plane of cephalometric radiographs and digitized using personal computer. To compare the Western beauty, 25 esthetically pleasing female was selected to measure various angle and distance of the face. 1. It was possible to calculate the mean coordinate value of Korean normal samples which enables the direct visualization and comparison with the use of template. The method in this study was easy to applicate under the Microsoft $Windows^{(R)}$ bases. 2. Maxillary vertical hypoplasia, upper and lower lip protrusion was characteristics of Korean norms and relatively narrow alar base distance, less conspicuous nasal projection was observed. As the vermilion exposure and upper lip length was more than western norm, chin looks shorter than western. To compare the Korean and Western esthetically pleasing profile, facial convexity and nose was less conspicuous in Korean women.

We propose a welfare interface using multiple fecial features tracking, which can efficiently implement various mouse operations. The proposed system consist of five modules: face detection, eye detection, mouth detection, facial feature tracking, and mouse control. The facial region is first obtained using skin-color model and connected-component analysis(CCs). Thereafter the eye regions are localized using neutral network(NN)-based texture classifier that discriminates the facial region into eye class and non-eye class, and then mouth region is localized using edge detector. Once eye and mouth regions are localized they are continuously and correctly tracking by mean-shift algorithm and template matching, respectively. Based on the tracking results, mouse operations such as movement or click are implemented. To assess the validity of the proposed system, it was applied to the interface system for web browser and was tested on a group of 25 users. The results show that our system have the accuracy of 99% and process more than 21 frame/sec on PC for the $320{\times}240$ size input image, as such it can supply a user-friendly and convenient access to a computer in real-time operation.
