Which facial characteristics do people rely on when forming personality impressions? Previous research has uncovered an array of features that influence people’s impressions. Even though some (classes of) features, such as resemblances to emotional expressions or width-to-height ratio (fWHR), play a central role in theories social perception, their relative importance impression formation remai...

Human behaviour may be monitored by analysing facial expressions and vocal expressions. Hence an automatic technique which combines both these features will give a more accurate overall estimation of expression. In this work we propose a new method which is uses facial and vocal features to estimate the expression of the subject. Facial expressions are analysed by extracting important facial fe...

An automatic face recognition system based on multiple facial features is described in this paper. Each facial feature is represented by a Gabor-based complex vector and is localized by an automatic facial feature detection scheme. Two face recognition approaches, named Two-Layer Nearest Neighbor (TLNN) and Modular Nearest Feature Line (MNFL) respectively, are proposed. Both TLNN and MNFL are b...

1. Briefly, what approach or combination of approaches did you test in each of your submitted runs?  KB_lab: This system extracts the facial image from each cut scene frame using the Haar-like operator, and then eliminates noise images (non-facial image) using SVM. Next, SIFT features are detected from the true facial image, and the similarity of the facial image is calculated using the SIFT f...

Appearance is known to influence social interactions, which in turn could potentially influence personality development. In this study we focus on discovering the relationship between self-reported personality traits, first impressions and facial characteristics. The results reveal that several personality traits can be read above chance from a face, and that facial features influence first imp...
