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:
A chiller system including an oil separator and ejector connection through which an oil is separated from a refrigerant discharged from a compressor at the oil separator, a portion of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor and an oil discharged from an evaporator are rejected by the ejector, and the separated oil and the ejected refrigerant and oil are heat exchanged, and return into the compressor.
Abstract:
A chiller according to the present invention comprises: a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; an oil separator for separating oil and the refrigerant discharged from the compressor; a condenser for condensing the refrigerant passing through the oil separator; and expander for expanding the refrigerant condensed in the condenser; an evaporator for cooling cold water with the refrigerant expanded in the expander and connected to a demanding place via cold water pipes; an ejector for partially passing the refrigerant compressed in the compressor and connected to the evaporator via an evaporator oil recovery path; an oil recovery path of the oil separator connected in such as manner that the oil leaked out of the oil separator passes through the oil recovery path so as to be recovered to the compressor; and an ejector outlet path connected in such a manner than the oil and the refrigerant leaked out of the ejector passes through the ejector outlet path so as to be recovered to the compressor. The oil recovery path of the oil separator and the ejector outlet path are disposed to be able to exchange heat. Therefore, it is possible to lower the temperature of the oil which has been recovered at high temperature via the oil recovery path of the oil separator is lowered. In addition, the liquid refrigerant which has been recovered via the evaporator oil recovery path is gasified in the evaporator. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the damage to the compressor and increase the efficiency of the compressor.

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.
