Faces are a rich and available source of social information, and the representation for faces is robust in adults (i.e. the face detection effect; Purcell & Stewart, 1988). The current study compared the developmental trajectory of the robustness of face perception against the trajectory for a non-face object. Participants (5-35 years old) were presented with rapid (17 and 33 millisecond) prese...

This paper presents a method for face identification using a query by example approach. Our technique is suitable for use within Ambient Security Environments and is robust across variations in pose, expression and illuminations conditions. To account for these variations, we use a face template matching algorithm based on a 3D head model created from a single frontal face image. Thanks to our ...

We show that a simple, memory-based technique for view-based face recognition, motivated by the real-world task of visitor identification, can outperform more sophisticated algorithms that use Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and neural networks. This technique is closely related to correlation templates; however, we show that the use of novel similarity measures greatly improves performance...

In this paper a contour matching based face recognition system is proposed, which uses “Fourier Descriptor of contour” for identification of faces. The feasibility of using contour and FD’s matching for human face identification is presented through experiment. The Fourier descriptor is used to describe the boundary of a shape in 2 dimensional space.The advantage of using the Fourier descriptor...

Regarded as two independent tasks, face identification and facial expression recognition perform both poorly given small size training sets. To address this problem, we propose a multi-task facial inference model (MT-FIM) for simultaneous face identification and facial expression recognition. In particular, face identification and facial expression recognition are learnt simultaneously by extra...

The information age is quickly revolutionizing the way transactions are completed. Everyday actions are increasingly being handled electronically, instead of with pencil and paper or face to face. This growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Access codes for buildings, banks accounts and computer systems of...

Hyperpigmentation over face in a neonate is rare and the differentials for the same are also rare. Congenital chickengunya, fungal and viral infections, drug rash are few differentials. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection manifesting in neonates is very rare. The prevalence of the entity was described only recently. We describe a neonate with hyperpigmentation on day 3 of life with stormy cours...

We investigated the previously unstudied relationship between procedural justice and identification within virtual teams, with a particular focus on how two features of virtual teams, namely frequency of face-to-face meetings and geographical dispersion, moderate that relationship. We argue that these two variables are sources of uncertainty, which in turn makes virtual team members more sensit...
