Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device and a method for tracking a face at a long distance are provided to accurately detect and track a far-distanced very small face at a low resolution in order to prevent the wrong detection which tracks a non-facial portion. CONSTITUTION: An image input unit(110) generates continuous image frames by inputting a video image, and a face tracking initializing unit(130) detects an omega region and a facial region of a human from the image frames. The face tracking initializing unit sets the estimated facial region as tracking start region information. A remote face tracker(150) detects a facial region at a short distance within the facial detection region.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for recognizing a face by a block unit are provided to determine similarity by comparing face images by a block unit, thereby producing various combinations of images to increase variety of face images. CONSTITUTION: A query face image is divided into fixed blocks and a feature value is extracted from each block. A feature value extracting unit(200) extracts a feature value from an inputted face image by a fixed block unit. A block similarity calculating unit(410) calculates block similarity between the query face image and a registration face image. The block similarity calculating unit compares a feature value of a fixed block of the query face image with a feature value of a block of the registration image corresponding to a fixed block of the query face image.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for real-time face detection using a stereo vision are provided to perform face detection in foreground including face pattern from whole video by stereo vision processor thereby widely reducing face detection processing time. CONSTITUTION: A vision processing unit(320) calculates distance information by usage of a plurality of images including face pattern. Based on the distance information, the vision processing unit divides foreground image including the face pattern and background image not including the face pattern. According to distance information, a face detection unit(330) adjusts video size of the foreground image. The face detection unit detects the face pattern from adjusted foreground image.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A user recognition device and a user recognition method are provided to use a walking pattern as ID information of a user, thereby improving a recognition rate of the user through simple configuration. CONSTITUTION: A sensing unit(110) senses vibration due to walking of a user to output an electrical signal. A pattern calculator(130) obtains a walking pattern of a pedestrian from the electrical signal. A user decider(150) compares the walking pattern with reference date. The user decider identifies a user based on the comparison result.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an adaptive multimedia system for providing multimedia contents and a codec to a user terminal, and a method thereof. The adaptive multimedia system includes: a media server controller that receives profile information from an open codec player of the user terminal, and when a codec for decoding the multimedia contents does not exist in the user terminal, transmits a control message to allow the multimedia contents and the decoding codec to be transmitted together; and at least one transmission frame generator that encodes the multimedia contents through a transcoder and an encoding module according to the control message transmitted from the media server controller, generates a transmission frame including the encoded multimedia contents and the decoding codec, and transmits the generated transmission frame to the open codec player.
Abstract:
A feature extracting apparatus for face recognition based on a color image and a method thereof are provided to detect a peculiar face based on the color image and perform the face registration and recognition based on the detected peculiar face. A normalization part(100) normalizes plurality of RGB color images in a preset size. That is, it performs the inclination and size revision by using the pupil position information of a person in the color images, and then extracts an image of a preset size from the whole face image on the basis of the both eyes. After performing the linear conversion for the normalized respective RGB color images, a conversion unit(102) performs a histogram equalization process. An average image calculating unit(104) produces the average images for the plural images outputted from the conversion unit. A peculiar face generating unit(106) produces the covariance matrix of color images based on the average images calculated in the average image calculating unit, and the generates a peculiar face based on the calculated covariance matrix.
Abstract:
A handover method between dualized network based on power consumption and an apparatus thereof are provided to generate candidate network list by calculating prospect power consumption calculated by network and traffic class and to prevent unnecessary hand over. A network list capable of handover based on power consumption of the mobile terminal prospected about traffic class and each network among dualized network is made(S120). A handover network is selected based on the user preference and the traffic class in network on the list(S130). The minimum usage time of the terminal is predicted by the remainder of a battery about prospect power consumption calculated based on the interface capacity of network and traffic class of the mobile terminal.
Abstract:
A system for recognizing a user's face based on adaptive learning, and a method thereof are provided to recognize a user's face by learning the user's face gradually, thereby recognizing a user's face even in the user is in action. A specific person detecting and tracking unit(120) detects the specific person on the moving picture and traces it. A facial feature extraction part(130) extracts a plurality of face characteristic vectors from the detected and the traced specific features of the person. A face recognition part(140) compares the extracted face characteristic vector with the registered model stored in the user registration model database, and searches the corresponding registered model in the database. A learning subject selection part(160) selects the face characteristic vector to be added to the corresponding registered model record among the extracted face characteristic vectors. A registered model studying part(170) adds the selected face characteristic vector to the record of the registered model and renews it.
