Thermal infra-red (IR) images focus on changes of temperature distribution on facial muscles and blood vessels. These temperature changes can be regarded as texture features of images. A comparative study of face recognition methods working in thermal spectrum is carried out in this paper. In these study two local-matching methods based on Haar wavelet transform and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) a...

Thermal infrared (IR) images focus on changes of temperature distribution on facial muscles and blood vessels. These temperature changes can be regarded as texture features of images. A comparative study of face two recognition methods working in thermal spectrum is carried out in this paper. In the first approach, the training images and the test images are processed with Haar wavelet transfor...

The aim of this study was to evaluate facial morphology in 25 Class III and 46 non-Class III children aged 5-6 years using three-dimensional (3D) laser imaging; 3D facial images were obtained, two average facial templates were constructed for the non-Class III male and female groups, each individual face was superimposed on the corresponding average template and group comparisons were evaluated...

The most of the human emotions are communicated by changes in one or two of discrete facial features. Theses changes are coded as Action Units (AUs). In this paper, we develop a lower and upper face AUs classification as well as six basic emotions classification system. We use an automatic hybrid tracking system, based on a novel two-step active contour tracking system for lower face and cross-...

In this study, we investigated whether the first impression of a crowd of faces-crowd perception-is influenced by social background and cognitive processing. Specifically, we explored whether males and females, two groups that are distinct biologically and socially, differ in their ability to extract ensemble characteristics from crowds of faces that were comprised of different identities. Part...

University of Glasgow Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Engineering by Jorge Garcia Bueno This project has been developed as an improvement which could be added to the actual computer vision algorithms. It is based on the original idea proposed and published by Rob Jenkins and Mike Burton about the power of the face averages in artificial recognition. The present ...

BACKGROUND The registration of a pre-operative image with the intra-operative patient is a crucial aspect for the success of navigation in neurosurgery. METHODS First, the intra-operative face is reconstructed, using a structured light technique, while the pre-operative face is segmented from head CT/MRI images. In order to perform neurosurgery navigation, a markerless surface registration me...

This paper presents a modification of kernel-based Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) to design one-class classifier for face detection. In face detection, it is reasonable to assume “face” images to cluster in certain way, but “non face” images usually do not cluster since different kinds of images are included. It is difficult to model “non face” images as a single distribution in the discrim...
