The cascade face detector learned by Adaboost algorithm, which was proposed by Viola and Jones, is state of the art face detector due to its great speed and accuracy. In spite of its great performance, it still suffers from false alarms, and more computation is required to reduce them. In this paper, we want to reduce false alarms with less computation using facial color. Using facial color information, proposed face detection model scans sub-window efficiently and adapts a fast face/non-face classifier at the first stage of cascade face detector. This makes face detection faster and reduces false alarms. For facial color filtering, we define a facial color membership function, and facial color filtering image is obtained using that. An integral image is calculated from facial color filtering image. Using this integral image, its density of subwindow could be obtained very fast. The proposed scanning method skips over sub-windows that do not contain possible faces based on this density. And the face/non-face classifier at the first stage of cascade detector rejects a non-face quickly. By experiment, we show that the proposed face detection model reduces false alarms and is faster than the original cascade face detector.

Recently, many researches for making more comfortable input device based on gaze detection have been vigorously performed in human computer interaction. However, these previous researches are difficult to be used in IPTV environment because these methods need additional wearing devices or do not work at a distance. To overcome these problems, we propose a new way of controlling IPTV interface by using a detected face and eye positions in single static camera. And although face or eyes are not detected successfully by using Adaboost algorithm, we can control IPTV interface by using motion vectors calculated by pyramidal KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) feature tracker. These are two novelties of our research compared to previous works. This research has following advantages. Different from previous research, the proposed method can be used at a distance about 2m. Since the proposed method does not require a user to wear additional equipments, there is no limitation of face movement and it has high convenience. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could be operated at real-time speed of 15 frames per second. Wd confirmed that the previous input device could be sufficiently replaced by the proposed method.

Face detection is essential to the full automation of face image processing application system such as face recognition, facial expression recognition, age estimation and gender identification. It is found that local image features which includes Haar-like, LBP, and MCT and the Adaboost algorithm for classifier combination are very effective for real time face detection. In this paper, we present a face detection method using local pixel direction code(PDC) feature and lookup table classifiers. The proposed PDC feature is much more effective to dectect the faces than the existing local binary structural features such as MCT and LBP. We found that our method's classification rate as well as detection rate under equal false positive rate are higher than conventional one.

최근 자동차 업계와 IT 기술의 융합이 새로운 트렌드로 자리 잡으면서 전자제어 기술뿐만 아니라 영상처리 기술이 융합된 지능형 자동차 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 차선 또는 번호판을 대상으로 하는 인식 알고리즘은 이미 다양한 방법으로 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 이미 몇몇 기술은 상용화 단계에 있다. 본 논문에서는 Viola-Jones 알고리즘을 이용하여 차량의 사각 지대에 위치하는 차량을 감지하고 이의 대략적인 거리 정보를 추정하는 것을 목표로 하여 차량의 형태 정보를 바탕으로 차량을 감지하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기본적인 방법은 Adaboost와 Harr-like 특징을 사용하여 얼굴을 성공적으로 검출한 Viola-Jones 알고리즘[1]을 차량에 적용하였다.

Viola와 Jine가 제안한 AdaBoost를 이용한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 빠른 얼굴 검출 속도와 뛰어난 성능으로 인해 최근 여러분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 알고리즘 중 하나이다. 하지만 AdaBoost를 이용하여 얼굴을 검출함에 있어 오검출이 존재하며, 이를 줄이기 위해서는 많은 연산이 요구되며, 실시간 얼굴 검출이 필요한 분야에 적용되기에는 속도 면에서 단점으로 작용한다. 기존의 Adaboost의 얼굴 검출기는 그레이스케일 영상만을 사용하므로, 영상의 컬러 정보와 부가적인 정보를 사용하면 더 적은 연산으로 오검출률을 감소시킬 수 있고, 올바른 얼굴을 검출이 된 다음 추적 알고리즘에 적용을 시키면 동영상으로 입력되는 영상에 대해 실시간으로 얼굴을 검출 할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴 추적을 위한 사전단계로 컬러 정보와 부가적인 정보로 깊이 정보를 사용하여 얼굴을 효율적으로 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

For future autonomous cars, it is necessary to recognize various surrounding environments such as lanes, traffic lights, and vehicles. This paper presents a method of speed sign recognition from a single image in automatic driving assistance systems. The detection step with the proposed method emphasizes the color attributes in modified YUV color space because speed sign area is affected by color. The proposed method is further improved by extracting the digits from the highlighted circle region. A sequential cascade AdaBoost classifier is then used in the recognition step for real-time processing. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of conventional algorithms for various speed signs and real-world conditions.

본 논문에서는 키넥트 센서의 RGB영상과 깊이영상을 사용하여 얼굴을 검출하고, 검출 된 템플릿을 이용하여 얼굴을 추적하는 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴검출은 기본적으로 기존의 Adaboost 방법을 사용하나, 깊이정보와 피부색을 사용하여 탐색영역을 최대한 축소하여 수행시간 및 오검출율을 줄였다. 그리고 얼굴추적은 깊이정보를 이용하여 템플릿의 크기, 탐색영역을 조정하였다. 또한, RGB영상보다 조명변화에 강한 깊이영상을 이용하여 효율적인 템플릿 매칭을 하였다.

Hyperspectral cameras acquire reflectance values at many different wavelength bands. Dimensions tend to increase because spectral information is stored in each pixel. Several attempts have been made to reduce dimensional problems such as the feature selection using Adaboost and dimension reduction using the Simulated Annealing technique. We propose a novel material detection method that consists of four steps: feature band selection, feature extraction, SVM (Support Vector Machine) learning, and target and specific region detection. It is a combination of the band ratio method and Simulated Annealing algorithm based on detection rate. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed feature selection and band ratio method.

Face detection plays an important role in HCI and face recognition. In this paper, we propose a rotation-invariant real-time face detection algorithm for color images in complex background. It consists of four processing step: (1) motion detection, (2) skin color region filler, (3) Eyemap detector for rotated face, and (4) Adaboost face classifier. This system has been tested in in-door environments, such as office and achieves over 95% detection rate.
