    摘要: Provided are a face detection apparatus and a distance measurement method using the same. The face detection apparatus detects a face using left and right images which are acquired from a stereo camera. The face detection apparatus measures distance from the stereo camera to the face using an image frame which is provided from the stereo camera without a stereo matching process. Accordingly, the face detection apparatus simultaneously performs face detection and distance measurement even in a low-performance system.

    摘要: A home intelligent service robot for recognizing a user and following the motion of a user and a method thereof are provided. The home intelligent service robot includes a driver, a vision processor, and a robot controller. The driver moves an intelligent service robot according to an input moving instruction. The vision processor captures images through at least two or more cameras in response to a capturing instruction for following a target object, minimizes the information amount of the captured image, and discriminates objects in the image into the target object and obstacles. The robot controller provides the capturing instruction for following the target object in a direction of collecting instruction information to the vision processor when the instruction information is collected from outside, and controls the intelligent service robot to follow and move the target object while avoiding obstacles based on the discriminating information from the vision processor.

    摘要: Provided are a human recognition apparatus and a human recognition method identifying a user based on a walking pattern. The human recognition apparatus includes a detecting unit detecting a vibration according to a user's walking, and outputting an electric signal, a pattern calculating unit acquiring a walker's walking pattern from the electric signal, and a user determining unit comparing the walking pattern with a previously measured reference data by user and identifying the user based on the comparison result. The human recognition apparatus and the human recognition method are robust against peripheral noise and can increase an acceptance rate through a simple structure and procedure by using the waling pattern, which is one-dimensional time information requiring no vast data throughput, as the user identification data.
