Abstract

This paper proposed the real time face area detection using Wavelet transform and the strong detection algorithm that satisfies the efficiency of computation and detection performance at the same time was proposed. The detected face image recognizes the face by configuring the low-dimensional face symbol through the principal component analysis. The proposed method is well suited for real-time system construction because it doesn't require a lot of computation compared to the existing geometric feature-based method or appearance-based method and it can maintain high recognition rate using the minimum amount of information. In addition, in order to reduce the wrong recognition or recognition error occurred during face recognition, the input symbol of Hidden Markov Model is used by configuring the feature values projected to the unique space as a certain symbol through clustering algorithm. By doing so, any input face will be recognized as a face model that has the highest probability. As a result of experiment, when comparing the existing method Euclidean and Mahananobis, the proposed method showed superior recognition performance in incorrect matching or matching error.

본 논문은 Wavelet 변환을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 영역 검출을 제안하였으며, 계산의 효율성과 검출 성능을 동시에 만족시키는 강인한 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 검출된 얼굴 영상은 주성분 분석을 통해 저차원 얼굴 심볼로 구성하여 얼굴을 인식한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 기하학적인 특징 기반 방법이나 외관기반 방법의 비해 많은 계산 량이 요구 되지 않고 최소한의 정보를 사용하고도 높은 인식률을 유지 할 수 있기에 실시간 시스템 구축에 매우 적합하다. 또한 얼굴 인식 시 발생하는 잘못된 인식이나 인식 오차를 줄이기 위해 고유 공간상에 투영된 모델 특징 값을 군집화 알고리즘을 통해 특정한 기호로 구성하여 은닉마르코프 모델의 입력 기호로 사용하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 임의의 입력 얼굴은 확률 값이 가장 높은 해당 얼굴 모델로 인식하게 된다. 실험 결과 기존의 방식인 Euclidean과 Mahananobis방법 보다 제안한 방법이 잘못된 매칭이나 매칭 실패에서 우수한 인식 성능을 보였다.
