Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a contour-based privacy region masking apparatus and method. The contour-based privacy region masking apparatus includes a memory for storing at least one program, and a processor for executing the program, wherein the program may perform detecting a contour of an object that is a privacy protection target in an original image, setting a masking region based on the detected contour, and de-identifying the masking region in the original image.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for detecting a disaster based on images. The apparatus includes an image capture unit for capturing video using at least one camera and controlling the camera based on a camera control signal received from the outside; a disaster detection unit for generating a disaster log based on the video captured using the camera; a disaster analysis unit for calculating a disaster occurrence probability value based on the disaster log and determining whether to enter a camera control mode based on the disaster occurrence probability value; and a disaster alert unit for warning of a disaster based on a disaster alert request signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a frontal face detection apparatus and method using a facial pose. The frontal face detection apparatus includes an image input unit for receiving an input image. A candidate extraction unit extracts a face region candidate and face element candidates from the input image. A face region verification unit verifies, based on a plurality of face element candidates extracted by the candidate extraction unit, whether the extracted face region candidate is a final face region. A face element calculation unit calculates a plurality of final face elements in correspondence with a facial pose score for a final face region including the extracted face element candidates generated based on a predefined average face model. A final frontal face detection unit detects a final frontal face from the final face region including the plurality of final face elements, based on a position pattern between the final face elements.
