초록

오늘날 촬영 상황을 조절할 수 있는 환경, 즉 고정된 촬영각이나 일관된 조도 조건에서는 얼굴인식 기술 수준은 신뢰할 수 있을 정도로높다. 그러나 복잡한 현실에서의 얼굴 인식은 여전히 어려운 과제이다. SIFT 알고리즘은 촬영각의 변화가 미미할 때에 한하여, 크기와 회전 변화에 무관하게 우수한 성능을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양하게 촬영각이 변하는 환경에서도 얼굴 인식을 할 수 있는 어파인불변 지역 서술자를 탐지하는 ASIFT(Affine SIFT)라는 알고리즘을 적용하였다. SIFT 알고리즘을 확장하여 만든 ASIFT 알고리즘은 촬영각 변화에 취약한 단점을 극복하였다. 제안하는 방법에서 ASIFT 알고리즘은 표본 이미지에, SIFT 알고리즘은 검증 이미지에 적용하였다. ASIFT 방법은 어파인 변환을 사용하여 다양한 시각에 따른 영상을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 ASIFT 알고리즘은 저장 영상과 실험 영상의시각 차이에 따른 문제를 해결할 수 있었다. 실험결과 FERET 데이터를 사용했을 때 제안한 방법은 촬영각의 변화가 큰 경우에 기존의 시프트 알고리즘보다도 높은 인식률을 보여주었다.

Abstract

Under controlled environment, such as fixed viewpoints or consistent illumination, the performance of face recognition is usuallyhigh enough to be acceptable nowadays. Face recognition is, however, a still challenging task in real world. SIFT(Scale InvariantFeature Transformation) algorithm is scale and rotation invariant, which is powerful only in the case of small viewpoint changes. However, it often fails when viewpoint of faces changes in wide range. In this paper, we use Affine SIFT (Scale Invariant FeatureTransformation; ASIFT) to detect affine invariant local descriptors for face recognition under wide viewpoint changes. The ASIFT isan extension of SIFT algorithm to solve this weakness. In our scheme, ASIFT is applied only to gallery face, while SIFT algorithm isapplied to probe face. ASIFT generates a series of different viewpoints using affine transformation. Therefore, the ASIFT allowsviewpoint differences between gallery face and probe face. Experiment results showed our framework achieved higher recognitionaccuracy than the original SIFT algorithm on FERET database.
