Many 3D films use technologies of facial expression recognition. In order to use the existing technologies, a large number of markers shall be attached to a face, a camera is fixed in front of the face, and movements of the markers are calculated. However, the markers calculate only the changes in regions where the markers are attached, which makes difficult realistic recognition of facial expressions. Therefore, this study extracted a preliminary eye region in 320*240 by defining specific location values of the eye. And the final eye region was selected from the preliminary region. This study suggests an improved method of detecting an eye region, reducing errors arising from noise.

Vehicle logo detection from images captured by surveillance cameras is an important step towards the vehicle recognition that is required for many applications in intelligent transportation systems and automatic surveillance. The task is challenging considering the small target of logos and the wide range of variability in shape, color, and illumination. A fast and reliable vehicle logo detection approach is proposed following visual attention mechanism from the human vision. Two prelogo detection steps, that is, vehicle region detection and a small RoI segmentation, rapidly focalize a small logo target. An enhanced Adaboost algorithm, together with two types of features of Haar and HOG, is proposed to detect vehicles. An RoI that covers logos is segmented based on our prior knowledge about the logos’ position relative to license plates, which can be accurately localized from frontal vehicle images. A two-stage cascade classier proceeds with the segmented RoI, using a hybrid of Gentle Adaboost and Support Vector Machine (SVM), resulting in precise logo positioning. Extensive experiments were conducted to verify the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

To detect and track eye images, distinctive features of user eye are used. Generally, an eye-tracking and detection system can be divided into four steps: Face detection, eye region detection, pupil detection and eye tracking. To find the position of pupil, first, face region must be separated from the rest of the image using bag of pixels, this will cause the images background to be non effective in our next steps. We used from horizontal projection, to separate a region containing eyes and eyebrow. This will result in decreasing the computational complexity and ignoring some factors such as bread. Finally, in proposed method points with the highest values of are selected as the eye candidate's. The eye region is well detected among these points. Color entropy in the eye region is used to eliminate the irrelevant candidates. With a pixel of the iris or pupil can be achieved center of pupil. To find the center of pupil can be used line intersection method in the next step, we perform eye tracking. The proposed method achieve a correct eye detection rate of 97.3% on testing set that gathered from different images of face data. Moreover, in the case of glasses the performance is still acceptable.


Characters in images are able to provide main information of the image. Therefore, it is important to analyze various kinds of image data and accurately extract the characters in images. This study proposes a new method of excluding background regions and accurately detecting character regions from input images with the uses of MCT features and Adaboost algorithm. The proposed method first extracts candidate character regions from input images with the uses of MCT features and Adaboost algorithm. It then excludes non-character regions and detects real character regions from the extracted candidate regions with the use of geometrical features. In the experiment of this study, the proposed method more robustly detected character regions from various input color images than a conventional method. For performance comparison, this study compared the method based on existing texture analysis and the proposed method. In this study, to qualitatively evaluate the performance of the proposed method of extracting license plate regions, the accuracy measure was defined. The measure is used to show the ratio of the accurately extracted character regions to all character regions of an image. The conventional method using the frequency factor-based texture information had many errors of character region detection, since it failed to execute binarization of background and character regions properly. On contrary, the proposed method made use of MCT features and Adaboost algorithm, effectively filtered candidate regions with the use of geometrical features, so that it detected character regions more accurately. The proposed character detection method is expected to be usefully applied to the fields of pattern recognition and image processing, such as store sign recognition and license plate recognition.

In many respects, the least important part of the 1999 elections were the elections themselves. From the beginning of General Abdusalam Abubakar’s transition program in mid-1998, most Nigerians who were not part of the wealthy “political class” of elites—which is to say, most Nigerians— adopted their usual politically savvy perspective of siddon look (sit and look). They waited with cautious optimism to see what sort of new arrangement the military would allow the civilian politicians to struggle over, and what in turn the civilians would offer the public. No one had any illusions that anything but high-stakes bargaining within the military and the political class would determine the structures of power in the civilian government. Elections would influence this process to the extent that the crowd influences a soccer match.
