* RESEARCH TOPICS - IMAGE PROCESSING [#z6671e8f] ** Introduction [#jbcaa68f] > Human beings usually recognize a person and a thing judging from an eye without being conscious.~ However, what will you do to let a computer and a robot perform this structure?~ For this problem, we aim at the application to the field of welfare and security system in this laboratory and, perform research activities.~ ** Study field [#a3a1cb83] *** Personal recognition by the face image [#kd034681] > We think that we use a human face for the personal certification of the security system.~ If a partner is a human being, so-called "face pass" works, but it is not a simple thing for the computer.~ We aim at the realization of the strong system which a certification error is hard to occur. *** Sign-language recognition [#f81db0ac] > We aim at the construction of a system assisting smooth communication with a hearing handicapped person and the healthy people. //[[詳細はこちら:https://www.sp.nitech.ac.jp/~demo/jesture.pdf]] *** Sign language animation image synthesis [#uc5b2a22] > This is a study to translate the input sentence into sign language, and to generate the animation image.~ This study is effective for interface construction to aim at smooth communication with a hearing handicapped person and the healthy people. *** Lip animation image synthesis [#b570c1aa] > This is a study to generate an animation image which move a lip in accordance with sentence which we input.~ We can expect application to the movement designs of the character of the CG.~ [[demonstration page(Japanese):https://www.sp.nitech.ac.jp/~demo/gtalk_lip/splip.php]] [[demonstration page (Japanese page):https://www.sp.nitech.ac.jp/~demo/gtalk_lip/splip.php]] *** Lipreading [#o8978afd] > This is a study to let a computer perform so-called lipreading.~ We can expect application in the field of welfare.~ [[demonstration page(Japanese):https://www.sp.nitech.ac.jp/~demo/demo1/]] [[demonstration page (Japanese page):https://www.sp.nitech.ac.jp/~demo/demo1/]]
