Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for detecting a face and an apparatus and a method for detecting an upper body are provided to accurately detect an upper body by combining a face detecting method, an omega area method, and a lateral/rear side detecting method. CONSTITUTION: An omega area detecting part(120) detects an omega area containing a shape composed of a face and shoulder lines from a subject image. A face detecting part(140) detects the face part of a human from the omega area. An upper body verifying part(160) verifies whether the subject image contains the upper body of the human based on the detection result of the face detecting part. Unless the face of the human is detected, a lateral/rear side verifying part(150) verifies the lateral side or the rear side of the human from the omega zone.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A stereo image matching device and a method thereof are provided to obtain an accurate image matching result even though brightness of a right camera is different from brightness of a left camera. CONSTITUTION: A census cost calculating unit(150) calculates a census cost corresponding to the pair of first and second pixels. A support weight calculating unit(171) calculates a right image and a left image, or support weights of second right/left images. A cost integrating unit(180) calculates an energy value of each node corresponding to the pair of the first and second pixels using the census cost and the support weights. A dynamic programming unit(190) matches images by dynamic programming based on the energy value of each node.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A stereo matching system using a dynamic programming method and method thereof are provided to output a parallax map by composing stereo matching results. CONSTITUTION: An image compensation unit(120) compensates images. A matching cost calculation unit(130) calculates junction costs for the compensated images. A stereo matching unit(140) executes a viterbi algorithm matching method using two or more PD(Penalty of Disparity discontinuity) values for the calculated junction costs. A restriction condition application unit(150) negates pixels of a closed area on each generated disparity map. A matching result synthesis unit(160) syntheses a plurality of parallax maps which negate the pixels of the closed area.
