One of its applications is its adoption in TV environments to supply viewers with intelligent services and high convenience. In a TV environment, the in-plane rotation of a viewer\u2019s face frequently occurs because he or she may decide to watch the TV from a lying position, which degrades the accuracy of the face recognition. Nevertheless, there has been little previous research to deal with this problem. Therefore, we propose a new fuzzy system\u2013based face detection algorithm that is robust to in-plane rotation based on the symmetrical characteristics of a face. Experimental results on two databases with one open database show that our method outperforms previous methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym8080075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,3]],"date-time":"2016-08-03T10:10:31Z","timestamp":1470219031000},"page":"75","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fuzzy System-Based Face Detection Robust to In-Plane Rotation Based on Symmetrical Characteristics of a Face"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Hyung","family":"Hong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]},{"given":"Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]},{"given":"Yeong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]},{"given":"Ki","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]},{"given":"Dat","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]},{"given":"Kang","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University, 30 Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-715, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1270","DOI":"10.1109\/TSMCB.2012.2185693","article-title":"Face Feature Weighted Fusion Based on Fuzzy Membership Degree for Video Face Recognition","volume":"42","author":"Choi","year":"2012","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
