Abstract:
The present invention relates to a user interface apparatus and a user interface method. The present invention provides a configuration including a detection unit for detecting at least one of a face direction and an eye direction of a user located at the front of a camera, a first area specifying unit for specifying a portion of a whole area of a screen to be manipulated by a user based on a direction information of the detection unit, a second area specifying unit for tracking the location of a hand input through the camera, estimating an area, in which the motion of the user is possible, from the whole area of a camera image, and specifying the area as a camera area, a location specifying unit for mapping the motion of the hand displayed in the screen area and the motion of the hand displayed in the camera area based on a moving distance information or a moving speed information, so that an icon is located at a target coordinate on the screen, and a recognition unit for recognizing the shape of the hand of the user input through the camera, and an executing unit for performing a command corresponding to the recognized shape of the hand in the part indicated by the icon. As described above, according to the present invention, even if the difference is made in resolution between the camera and the screen, the user can exactly move the icon to the location required by the user on the screen.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A face recognition system robust to changes in lighting based on differential components is provided to recognize the face based on D2D-PCA considering differential components, thereby recognizing exactly the face regardless of a change of lighting. CONSTITUTION: A face recognition system divides a face image obtained from a camera into right and left images (120). The system obtains a left image characteristic matrix by using differential two-dimensional principal component analysis (D2D-PCA) considering differential components based on the left image (130). The system calculates a left image distance value showing a distance value of the left image characteristic matrix based on the left image characteristic matrix (140). The system obtains a right image characteristic matrix by using D2D-PCA considering differential components based on the right image (150). The system calculates a right image distance value showing a distance value of the right image characteristic matrix based on the right image characteristic matrix (160). The system recognizes the face based on an integrated value combining the right and left image distance values (180).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A face recognition system is provided to control misrecognition rates generated in an illumination change environment by applying a characteristic extracting technology based on image covariance. CONSTITUTION: A face database (DB) (150) stores face images and identification information for the face image. A face area detecting unit (110) extracts the face image from the inputted image, and a pre-processing unit (120) changes the pixel values of pixels constructing the face area into a binary pattern. A characteristic extraction unit (130) extracts characteristic information from the face image changed into the binary pattern. A face recognition unit (140) recognizes a face by using the characteristic information for the face images stored in the characteristic information and the face DB.
