본 논문에서는 지역적인 에지의 방향 정보와 반응 크기, 주변 화소와의 밝기값 차이를 LDP 코드에 포함함으로써 얼굴 표정 인식률을 향상시킨다. 기존 LDP 코드를 사용하면 LBP에 비해서 영상의 밝기 변화에 덜 민감하고 잡음에 강한 장점을 가진다. 하지만, 밝기 변화가 없는 매끄러운 영역의 정보를 표현하기 어렵고, 배경에 얼굴과 유사한 에지 패턴이 존재하는 경우에는 인식률이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 에지 방향 정보를 기반으로 에지 강도 및 밝기값을 추가할 수 있도록 LDP 코드를 개선하고, 인식률을 측정한다.

The formula contains up between the text and the structural information, as well as their mathematical symbols. Research on-line or off-line recognition formula is underway actively used in various fields, and various forms of the equation are implemented recognition system. Although many documents are included in the various formulas, it is not easy to enter a formula into the computer. Recognition of the expression is divided into two processes of symbol recognition and structural analysis. After analyzing the location information of each character is specified to recognize the effective area after each symbol, and to the structure analysis based on the proximity between the characters is recognized as an independent single formula. Furthermore, analyzing the relationship between the front and back each time a combination of the position relationship between each symbol, and then to add the symbol which was able to easily update the structure of the entire formula. In this paper, by using a scanner to scan the book formula was used to interpret the meaning of the recognized symbol has a relative size and location information of the expression symbol. An algorithm to remove the formulas for calculation of the number of formula is present at the same time is proposed. Using the proposed algorithms to scan the books in the formula in order to evaluate the performance verification as 100% separation and showed the recognition rate equation.

The goals of this study were to examine how children's recognition of various emotions, emotion expression, and social interactions among their peers differed according to their attachment styles. A total of 65 three to five years old children completed both attachment story-stem doll plays and a standard emotion recognition task. Trained observers documented children's valence of emotion expression and social interactions among their peers in the classroom. Consistent with attachment theory, children who were categorized as secure in the doll play were more likely to express positive emotions than children who were categorized as avoidant in the doll play. Children who were categorized as avoidant in the doll play were more likely to express neutral emotions among their peers than children who were categorized as secure and anxious in the doll play. The findings of this study contribute to the general attachment literature by documenting how attachment security plays a crucial role in having positive emotions in ordinary situations. It does so by also demonstrating how different attachment styles are associated with children's qualitatively different patterns of emotion processing, especially in terms of their expression of emotions.

An extreme learning machine (ELM) is a recently proposed learning algorithm for a single-layer feed forward neural network. In this paper we studied the ensemble of ELM by using a bagging algorithm for facial expression recognition (FER). Facial expression analysis is widely used in the behavior interpretation of emotions, for cognitive science, and social interactions. This paper presents a method for FER based on the histogram of orientation gradient (HOG) features using an ELM ensemble. First, the HOG features were extracted from the face image by dividing it into a number of small cells. A bagging algorithm was then used to construct many different bags of training data and each of them was trained by using separate ELMs. To recognize the expression of the input face image, HOG features were fed to each trained ELM and the results were combined by using a majority voting scheme. The ELM ensemble using bagging improves the generalized capability of the network significantly. The two available datasets (JAFFE and CK+) of facial expressions were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed classification system. Even the performance of individual ELM was smaller and the ELM ensemble using a bagging algorithm improved the recognition performance significantly.

본 논문에서는 전처리 기반 히스토그램 거리측정에 의한 효율적인 얼굴표정 인식기법을 제안하였다. 여기서 전처리는 중심이동과 히스토그램 평활화에 의해 인식성능을 개선하기 위함이고, 히스토그램 사이의 거리측정은 영상 상호간의 유사도를 측정하기 위함이다. 특히 중심이동은 1차 모멘트 평형에 기반을 둔 것으로 불필요한 배경을 제거시켜 위치나 크기 변화에 강건한 인식을 위함뿐만 아니라 거리의 측정부하를 줄이기 위함이다. 히스토그램 평활화는 조명의 세기에 의한 영상의 명암대비 감소에 강건한 인식을 위함이다. 제안된 기법을 320*243 픽셀의 72개(4명*18장) 표정얼굴을 대상으로 히스토그램 사이의 유사도 측정을 위해서 city-block, Euclidean, 그리고 ordinal 거리를 각각 이용하였다. 실험결과, 제안된 기법은 중심이동 및 히스토그램 평활화의 전처리를 거치지 않는 기법보다 우수한 인식성능이 있으며, ordinal 거리가 가장 높은 인식성능이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study we focus on the effect of the interaction between humans and reactive television when emotion recognition through facial expression mechanism is used. Most of today's user interfaces in electronic products are passive and are not properly fitted into users' needs. In terms of the user centered device, we propose that the emotion based reactive television is the most effective in interaction compared to other passive input products. We have developed and researched next generation cognitive TV models in user centered. In this paper we present a result of the experiment that had been taken with Fraunhofer IIS $SHORE^{TM}$ demo software version to measure emotion recognition. This new approach was based on the real time cognitive TV models and through this approach we studied the relationship between humans and cognitive TV. This study follows following steps: 1) Cognitive TV systems can be on automatic ON/OFF mode responding to motions of people 2) Cognitive TV can directly select channels as face changes (ex, Neutral Mode and Happy Mode, Sad Mode, Angry Mode) 3) Cognitive TV can detect emotion recognition from facial expression of people within the fixed time and then if Happy mode is detected the programs of TV would be shifted into funny or interesting shows and if Angry mode is detected it would be changed to moving or touching shows. In addition, we focus on improving the emotion recognition through facial expression. Furthermore, the improvement of cognition TV based on personal characteristics is needed for the different personality of users in human to computer interaction. In this manner, the study on how people feel and how cognitive TV responds accordingly, plus the effects of media as cognitive mechanism will be thoroughly discussed.

표정은 인간의 감정을 전달할 수 있는 중요한 수단으로 표정 인식은 감정상태를 알아낼 수 있는 효과적인 방법중 하나이다. 일반적인 표정 인식 시스템은 얼굴 표정을 표현하는 특징점을 찾고, 물리적인 해석 없이 특징을 추출한다. 하지만 특징점 추출은 많은 시간이 소요될 뿐 아니라 특징점의 정확한 위치를 추정하기 어렵다. 그리고 표정 인식 시스템을 실시간 임베디드 시스템에서 구현하기 위해서는 알고리즘을 간략화하고 자원 사용량을 줄일 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 실시간 표정 인식 시스템은 격자점 위치에서 얻어진 가버 웨이블릿(Gabor wavelet) 특징 기반 표정 공간을 설정하고, 각 표정 공간에서 얻어진 주성분을 신경망 분류기를 이용하여 얼굴 표정을 분류한다. 제안하는 실시간 표정 인식 시스템은 화남, 행복, 평온, 슬픔 그리고 놀람의 5가지 표정이 인식 가능하며, 다양한 실험에서 평균 10.25ms의 수행시간, 그리고 87%~93%의 인식 성능을 보였다.

Understanding of human emotion has a high importance in interaction between human and machine communications systems. The most expressive and valuable way to extract and recognize the human's emotion is by facial expression analysis. This paper presents and implements an automatic extraction and recognition scheme of facial expression and emotion through still image. This method has three main steps to recognize the facial emotion: (1) Detection of facial areas with skin-color method and feature maps, (2) Creation of the Bezier curve on eyemap and mouthmap, and (3) Classification and distinguish the emotion of characteristic with Hausdorff distance. To estimate the performance of the implemented system, we evaluate a success-ratio with emotional face image database, which is commonly used in the field of facial analysis. The experimental result shows average 76.1% of success to classify and distinguish the facial expression and emotion.

This paper presents an emotion recognition and its expression system of an intelligent robot like a home robot or a service robot. Emotion recognition method in the robot is used by a facial image. We use a motion and a position of many facial features. apply a tracking algorithm to recognize a moving user in the mobile robot and eliminate a skin color of a hand and a background without a facial region by using the facial region detecting algorithm in objecting user image. After normalizer operations are the image enlarge or reduction by distance of the detecting facial region and the image revolution transformation by an angel of a face, the mobile robot can object the facial image of a fixing size. And materialize a multi feature selection algorithm to enable robot to recognize an emotion of user. In this paper, used a multi layer perceptron of Artificial Neural Network(ANN) as a pattern recognition art, and a Back Propagation(BP) algorithm as a learning algorithm. Emotion of user that robot recognized is expressed as a graphic LCD. At this time, change two coordinates as the number of times of emotion expressed in ANN, and change a parameter of facial elements(eyes, eyebrows, mouth) as the change of two coordinates. By materializing the system, expressed the complex emotion of human as the avatar of LCD.
