This paper presents a practical algorithm for facial age estimation from frontal face image. Facial age estimation generally comprises two key steps including age image representation and age estimation. The anthropometric model used in this study includes computation of eighteen craniofacial ratios and a new accurate skin wrinkles analysis in the first step and a pairwise binary support vector...

nowadays, sar imaging systems have become more interesting for scientists. high spatial resolution of recent sar images has become a key factor for their accurate applications such as interferometry, radargrammetry and change detection. in these applications, sar image matching procedure is a critical step for conjugate point extraction which is much more difficult than the optical images. the ...

Encryption is an important issue in information security which is usually provided using a reversible mathematical model. Digital image as a most frequently used digital product needs special encryption algorithms. This paper presents a new encryption algorithm high security for digital gray images using genetic algorithm and Lattice Map function. At the first the initial value of Logistic Map ...

a r t i c l e i n f o In this paper, we present a new approach for sharing images between l players by exploiting the additive and multiplicative homomorphic properties of two well-known public key cryptosystems, i.e. RSA and Paillier. Contrary to the traditional schemes, the proposed approach employs secret sharing in a way that limits the influence of the dealer over the protocol and allows e...
