Lasers are widely used in dermatology to remove telangiectasias. Increasing the efficiency of sclerosis deep-lying and large telangiectasias with laser radiation is possible by changing optical transmission skin when it heated converting hemoglobin blood contained into methemoglobin. The influence concentration methemoglobin on absorption light human poorly understood, which determines relevanc...

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

several factors including cancer, malformations and traumas may cause large facial mutilation. these functional and aesthetic deformities negatively affect the psychological perspectives and quality of life of the mutilated patient. conventional treatments are prone to fail aesthetically and functionally. the recent introduction of the composite tissue allotransplantation (cta), which uses tran...

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithms have been utilized in a wide range of real applications. NMF is done by several researchers to its part based representation property especially in the facial expression recognition problem. It decomposes a face image into its essential parts (e.g. nose, lips, etc.) but in all previous attempts, it is neglected that all features achieved by NMF ...

introduction: intraparotid neurofibromas of the facial nerve are extremely rare and mostly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (nf1). case report: this is a case of a healthy 40-year-old man, which underwent surgery for a preoperatively diagnosed benign parotid gland lesion. after identification of the facial nerve main trunk, a single large mass (6 x 3 cm) incorporating the upper nerve di...

introduction: orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital anomalies. patients presenting with orofacial clefts often require surgery or other complex procedures. a cleft lip or palate can be a single anomaly or a part of multiple congenital anomalies. the reported prevalence of cleft disease and associated anomalies varies widely across the literature, and is dependent on the diagnost...
