Abstract:
A method and apparatus for calculating a similarity of a face image, a method and apparatus for retrieving a face image by using the calculation method and apparatus, and a method of synthesizing a face image are provided. According to the methods and apparatuses, by separately calculating a holistic similarity of a face image based on a holistic feature of the face image, and a local similarity of a face image based on local features of the face image, and adding the calculated similarity results according to weights, thereby calculating the similarity between compared face images, the similarity calculation result of the face considering both the holistic feature and local features of the face image can be obtained, thereby improving reliability of the face image similarity calculation and lowering complexity of the calculation.
Abstract:
A user authentication method includes varying a threshold value for human body recognition depending on the extent to which an input graphical password matches with a registered graphical password and determining whether to authenticate a user or not based on a result of comparing the user's human body recognition information with registered human body recognition information. Thus, it is possible to improve convenience, reliability, and security of user authentication based on a graphical password in a device, such as a PDA or other portable electronic device, not having a key manipulation unit. In addition, a biometrics unit that used to provide authentication functions and to carry out user authentication may be improved by lowering both FAR and FRR by variably setting a threshold value for biometrics depending on the result of user authentication using a graphical password.
Abstract:
A method, system, and medium of providing various types of broadcast services such as a record, a summary, a navigation and a real-time event service with respect to a broadcast content, utilizing a home server, according to a user's request. A broadcast service providing method includes: storing broadcast summary data, navigation data and real-time event data which is generated by analyzing received broadcast data according to a broadcast record request from a user's portable device, in a database; and providing the user's portable device with a streaming service with respect to the stored broadcast summary data, the navigation data and the real-time event data, according to a summary selection request from the user's portable device.
Abstract:
A method for providing a data service and a system for providing a data service applying the same are provided. The method includes selecting a content that is assigned a data assignment quantity indicating a quantity sufficient for using a service; comparing a data generation quantity indicating a quantity of data generated by a user and the data assignment quantity; and performing the service for the data generated by the user according to a result of the comparison.

Abstract:
A photographing method, medium, and apparatus based on face detection in a portable camera. The portable photographing apparatus may include an image input unit that receives an image, a face detection unit that detects a face from the received image, a storage unit that stores the image detected by the face detection unit as a moving image in a first mode, and a quality evaluation unit that evaluates the quality of the image detected by the face detection unit and stores the same as a still image in a second mode upon satisfaction of predetermined conditions evaluated based on the quality evaluation of the still image.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for creating a three-dimensional caricature, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for creating a three-dimensional caricature having a high degree of similarity to user's face by precisely extracting feature point information on facial features and modifying a three-dimensional polygon face basic model based on the feature point information using an ASM technique specialized for faces. The method comprises the steps of detecting the positions of eyes from an input facial image and normalizing the size of the facial image, detecting each initial position for facial features from the normalized facial image, loading ASMs in the normalized facial image so as to correspond to the detected initial position and then extracting feature points for the facial features, and creating a three-dimensional polygon face caricature by modifying the three-dimensional polygon face basic model according to coordinate values of the extracted feature points.
