Robust Expression-Invariant Face Recognition from Partially Missing Data

Recent studies on three-dimensional face recognition proposed to model facial expressions as isometries of the facial surface. Based on this model, expression-invariant signatures of the face were constructed by means of approximate isometric embedding into flat spaces. Here, we apply a new method for measuring isometry-invariant similarity between faces by embedding one facial surface into ano...

The Missing “Missing Middle”

T he notion that the distribution of firm size in poor countries is characterized by a bimodal distribution with a “missing middle” is a widely accepted fact in development economics (for example, see Krueger 2013). The idea of the missing middle is that there are a large number of small firms, some large firms, but very few medium-sized firms. The purported fact about the missing middle is cit...

Recognition of 3D Face With Missing Parts by Using FRGC Dataset

-The 3D face propose and experiment an original solution to 2D face recognition that supports accurate face matching and provide the pure accurate result. To get the accurate face representation we first extracts key points of the 3-D depth image of the face and then measures how the face depth changes along facial curves connecting pairs of key points. The Face expression evaluated by sparse c...

Remarks on Missing Faces and Generalized Lower Bounds on Face Numbers

We consider simplicial polytopes, and more general simplicial complexes, without missing faces above a fixed dimension. Sharp analogues of McMullen’s generalized lower bounds, and of Barnette’s lower bounds, are conjectured for these families of complexes. Some partial results on these conjectures are presented.
