The processing of social stimuli, such as human faces, is impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which could be accounted for by their lack of social motivation. The current study examined how the attentional processing of faces in children with ASD could be modulated by the learning of face-reward associations. Sixteen high-functioning children with ASD and 20 age- and ab...

Spoofing attack is a threat for biometric authentication systems. Liveness detection aims at recognition of human physiological activities as the liveness indicator to prevent spoofing attack. Facial photograph of valid user is the most common way to spoof face recognition systems as photo attack is the cheapest and easiest spoofing approach. Antispoof problem is a challenging task before face ...

A rst step towards face recognition is the localization of face-like regions and the extraction of facial features as eyes, mouth and nose. Although a lot of work has already been done in this research area, the recognition of human faces out of a scene with cluttered background is still a problem that deserves further investigation. In this framework we present a novel approach to face localiz...

We amplify possible complications to the tidy division between early vision and later categorisation which arise when we consider the perception of human faces. Although a primitive face-detecting system, used for social attention, may indeed be integral to “early vision,” the relationship between this and diverse other uses made of information from faces

Faces are encountered in highly diverse angles in real-world settings. Despite this considerable diversity, most individuals are able to easily recognize familiar faces. The vast majority of studies in the field of face recognition have nonetheless focused almost exclusively on frontal views of faces. Indeed, a number of authors have investigated the diagnostic facial features for the recogniti...
