This paper introduces a new face recognition technique using Gabor Wavelet transform and Back propagation network. Face recognition being regarded as a fundamental technology of biometrics has been applied to a variety of areas, including computer vision and pattern recognition. In this proposed approach, the features of the query face image and database face images have been extracted using Ga...

This paper proposes a robust method for face recognition with variant illumination, scaling and rotation. Techniques introduced in this work are composed of two stages. First, the feature of face is to be detected by the combined of Trace Transform and Fast Active Contour. Then, in the second stage, the Hausdorff distance and Modified Shape Context are employed to measure and determine of simil...

Groups of size three completed an estimation task by interacting either face-to-face or via a videoconferencing system. Results show significant differences were found in the confidence attached by groups to their decisions. Compared to face-to-face groups, vide-conferencing groups showed smaller increases in confidence in their decisions, especially if they were instructed to discuss their bel...

FACE TO FACE: FRANCO BELTRAMETTI AND JUDITH DANCIGER: A COUPLE OF TRANSLATORS
 In 1973 Franco Beltrametti, a Swiss author strictly connected to both the authors of Beat Generation and those Italian neo-avant-garde (Gruppo 63), published bilingual collection poems in English that he significantly titled Face face (Grosseteste, England). As stated book itself, versions are translations by hi...

We describe experiments designed to measure gaze direction perception capability of humans under face-to-face and display mediated conditions. Gaze perception capability was determined by means of the absolute values of the pitch differences between a looker’s actual regards and participants’ judgments. We compared the capability under face-to-face, stereoscopic image, and monoscopic image cond...

In this paper, a new feature extraction algorithm considering both two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis ((2D)2PCA) and independent component analysis(ICA), called (2D)2PCA-ICA, is proposed for face representation. This algorithm analyzes the principal components of image vectors on 2D matrices by simultaneously considering the row and column directions as opposed to the ...

The human perceptual system can make complex inferences on faces, ranging from the objective evaluations regarding gender, ethnicity, expression, age, identity, etc. to subjective judgments on facial attractiveness, trustworthiness, sociability, friendliness, etc. Whereas the objective aspects have been extensively studied, less attention has been paid to modeling the subjective perception of f...

Understanding and modeling of aging in human faces is an important problem in many real-world applications such as biometrics, authentication and synthesis. In this paper, we consider the role of geometric attributes of faces, as described by a set of landmark points on the face, in the perception of age. Towards this end, we show that the space of landmarks can be interpreted as a Grassmann ma...


 In this paper we discuss our approach to real-time 3D face recognition. We argue the need for real time operation in a realistic scenario and highlight the required preand postprocessing operations for effective 3D facial recognition. We focus attention to some operations including face and eye detection, and fast post-processing operations such as hole filling, mesh smoothing and noise remov...
