| 20080199055 | Method and apparatus for extracting facial features from image containing face - Provided are a method and apparatus for extracting facial features from an image containing a face. The method and apparatus filter an input image using a filter set for face recognition at each of predetermined locations in the input image, merge values obtained by filtering the input image at locations, which are horizontally symmetrical to each other with respect to the center of the face, and synthesize values obtained by filtering the input image at locations which are not symmetrical to each other with respect to the center of the face with the merged values. Therefore, the time, feature values, and storage space required to extract or compare facial features can be significantly reduced. In addition, a face recognition system that runs well on low specification hardware can be implemented. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090034953 | Object-oriented photographing control method, medium, and apparatus - An object-oriented photographing control method, medium, and apparatus. The object-oriented photographing control method includes detecting an interesting object registered in advance from an input image, estimating photographic information on the detected interesting object, and generating control information for capturing the input image by using the estimated photographing information, and capturing the input image according to the control information. Accordingly, states of a position and illuminance of the object are perceived in real-time, a high-quality image can be captured, and the user does not need to control the focus and the exposure of the input image. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090129626 | Method and apparatus for determining whether backlight exists - Provided are a method and apparatus for determining whether backlight exists. The method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes calculating scattering degrees of luminance values of pixels included in each of images which represent the same photographic subject and have different brightness levels from each other; and determining whether backlight exists on the photographic subject in consideration of the calculated scattering degrees. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090202157 | Method and system for automatically extracting photography information - A method and system for automatically extracting photography information is provided. The system for automatically extracting photography information includes an image input unit acquiring a preview image or a captured image as an input image, a photography information extraction unit extracting photography information of the input image, and a photography code generation unit generating a photography code indicating a user's photography pattern by using the extracted photography information. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100074470 | Combination detector and object detection method using the same - Provided are a detector and a method of detecting an object using the detector. The method includes combining a first detector and a second detector in a combination scheme to form a multi-layer combination detector, the second detector being of a type different from that of the first detector, processing a binary classification detection with respect to an inputted sample starting from an uppermost layer detector, allowing a sample of an object detected from a current layer to approach a lower layer, while rejecting a sample of a non-object detected from the current layer whereby the rejected non-object may not approach the lower layer, and outputting a sample passing through all layers as a detected object. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100109998 | System and method for sensing facial gesture - A method and system of sensing facial gestures are disclosed. The method of sensing facial gestures includes determining a basic database (DB) for sensing facial gestures of a user, estimating a head pose of the user, extracting a mesh model corresponding to the estimated head pose using at least one of a personalized DB and a general DB, and sensing the facial gestures using the extracted mesh model, and reflecting the sensed facial gestures to a virtual object. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100110266 | Image photography apparatus and method for proposing composition based person - An image photographing method and apparatus for proposing a human composition. The image photographing apparatus may determine optimal composition information based on feature information that is detected from a photographed image and control a photographing parameter based on the determined optimal composition information. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100211397 | FACIAL EXPRESSION REPRESENTATION APPARATUS - An avatar facial expression representation technology is provided. The avatar facial expression representation technology estimates changes in emotion and emphasis in a user's voice from vocal information, and changes in mouth shape of the user from pronunciation information of the voice. The avatar facial expression technology tracks a user's facial movements and changes in facial expression from image information and may represent avatar facial expressions based on the result of the these operations. Accordingly, the avatar facial expressions can be obtained which are similar to actual facial expressions of the user. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100284622 | Method and apparatus for detecting objects - A method and apparatus for detecting an object are provided. The method calculates a feature value based on features extracted from an input image by using a classifier of an i | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110069879 | Apparatus and method to extract three-dimensional (3D) facial expression - Provided is a method and apparatus of extracting a 3D facial expression of a user. When a facial image of the user is received, the 3D facial expression extracting method and apparatus may generate 3D expression information by tracking an expression of the user from the facial image using at least one of shape-based tracking and texture-based tracking, may generate a 3D expression model based on the 3D expression information, and reconstruct the 3D expression model to have a natural facial expression by adding muscle control points to the 3D expression model. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110071789 | Real-time motion recognition system and method - A system and method that may sense and recognize a motion of a user is provided. The system and method may recognize a variety of motions of the user based on sensing data received from a remote controller. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110096072 | Three-dimensional space interface apparatus and method - A three-dimensional (3D) space interface apparatus and method are provided. The 3D space interface apparatus provides an interface in which a user may directly touch and transform a 3D virtual object of a 3D space, which is shown in various ways depending on a position of the user. The 3D space interface apparatus may provide for manipulation of the 3D virtual object by the user using a sensing signal that senses the position and movement of a manipulation object the user. Specifically, an interface unit of the apparatus verifies, using the sensing signal, whether a predetermined movement of the manipulation object has occurred or whether a contact between the 3D virtual object and the manipulation object has been made, and generates a predetermined reaction corresponding to the predetermined movement or the contact. | 04-28-2011 |
