An apparatus for and a method of detecting eyes from an input face image. The apparatus for detecting eyes includes: an eye candidate detector which divides an input face image into left and right images and detects at least one eye candidate from limited image regions of the left and right images; an eye candidate evaluator which evaluates the eye candidates by evaluating each combination of the eye candidates using geometric information as to the eye candidates to filter out eye candidates that cannot be eyes; a learning database which stores a plurality of face images in which positions of eyes are arranged and a plurality of face images which do not include eyes or in which positions of eyes are not arranged; and an eye candidate verifier which verifies the eye candidates with reference to the learning database and outputs an eye detection result signal.

A face recognition apparatus and method. The face recognition apparatus includes: a face database (face DB) which stores information of a plurality of registered persons and which stores a plurality of facial images of each registered person; a face retrieval unit which performs a face retrieval of an input facial image with reference to the face DB and outputs confidence values of the stored facial images; a candidate selection unit which determines candidates, which are selected among the facial images stored in the face DB on the basis of the confidence values; and a face verification unit which compares feature vectors of the input facial image and feature vectors of images corresponding to each candidate one by one and recognizes the input facial image.

Large volume face recognition apparatus and method

A noise adaptive mobile communication device including a noise collecting microphone which collects noise from a peripheral environment; a noise sensing unit which senses the collected noise; a frequency-component detecting unit which detects a frequency component of the sensed noise; a sound generating unit which generates a noise-adaptive sound from the detected frequency component; a call-sound synthesizing unit which synthesizes received call sound with the noise-adaptive sound; and an operation control unit which controls the call-sound synthesizing unit to operate each predetermined time.

An adaptive beamforming apparatus and method includes a fixed beamformer that compensates for time delays of M noise-containing speech signals input via a microphone array having M microphones (M is an integer greater than or equal to 2), and generates a sum signal of the M compensated noise-containing speech signals; and a multi-channel signal separator that extracts pure noise components from the M compensated noise-containing speech signals using M adaptive blocking filters that are connected to M adaptive canceling filters in a feedback structure and extracts pure speech components from the added signal using the M adaptive canceling filters that are connected to the M adaptive blocking filters in the feedback structure.
