Recently, recognition of gender from facial images has gained a lot of importance. There exist a handful of research work that focus on feature extraction to obtain gender specific information from facial images. However, analyzing different facial regions and their fusion help in deciding the gender of a person from facial images. In this paper, we propose a new approach to identify gender fro...

This paper describes how 3D facial pose may be estimated by 3tting a template to 2D feature locations. The 3tting process is realised as projecting the control points of a 3D template onto the 2D feature locations under orthographic projection. The parameters of the orthographic projection are iteratively estimated using the EM algorithm. The method is evaluated on both contrived data with know...

Recognition of a person through his face is the primitive mean of human identification. Identifying a person through face biometric have grown its importance through the last decade and researchers have attempted to find unique facial feature-points. Facial data also contains change with expression and age, which makes recognition through face difficult. And there has developed a stringent nece...

Emotion recognition has been one of the most important issues in human computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we propose a novel bimodal emotion recognition approach by using the boosting-based framework, in which we can automatically determine the adaptive weights for audio and visual features. In this way, we balance the dominances of audio and visual features dynamically in feature-level...

This paper describes how 3D facial pose may be estimated by fitting a template to 2D feature locations. The fitting process is realised as projecting the control points of the 3D template onto the 2D feature locations under orthographic projection. The parameters of the orthographic projection are iteratively estimated using the EM algorithm. The method is evaluated on both contrived data with ...

Facial features determination is essential in many applications such as personal identification, 3D face modeling and model based video coding. Fast and accurate facial feature extraction is still a filed to be explored. In this paper, an automatic extracting algorithm is developed to locate “key points” of facial features. The Delaunay Triangulation/Voronoi Diagram technique well known in comp...

In this dissertation a novel method for 3D landmark detection and pose estimation, suitable for both frontal and side 3D facial scans, is presented. It exploits 3D and 2D information by using local shape descriptors to extract candidate interest points that are subsequently identified and labeled as anatomical landmarks. Additionally, a novel generalized framework for combining facial feature d...

Online interaction with 3D facial animation is an alternative way of face-to-face communication for distance education. 3D facial modeling is essential for virtual educational environments establishment. This article presents a novel 3D facial modeling solution that facilitates quasifacial communication for online learning. Our algorithm builds 3D facial models from a single image, with support...
