The contribution of facial measures in a statistical acoustic-toarticulatory inversion has been investigated. The tongue contour was estimated using a linear estimation from either acoustics or acoustics and facial measures. Measures of the lateral movement of lip corners and the vertical movement of the upper and lower lip and the jaw gave a substantial improvement over the audio-only case. It...

The surgical correction of soft tissue defects on the facial aspects of dental implants is documented as an unpredictable procedure. Since the customization of the prosthetic emergence profile contributes significantly to the final esthetic outcome of the soft tissue, a combined surgical-prosthetic approach has been described in the literature. In the case presented in this article, a multidisc...

OBJECTIVE To present the variable appearance of micrognathia in fetuses by three-dimensional ultrasonography and to describe practical methods for analysis of these volume data. METHODS Three-dimensional multiplanar imaging and surface-rendering techniques were used to show various syndromes and diagnostic approaches for the evaluation of fetal micrognathia. RESULTS Nine cases of fetal micr...

The soft tissues covering the face play an important role in facial aesthetics, speech and function. Detailed soft tissue analysis is an important component of comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. A balance between the dental and the perioral muscles must be achieved to attain stability of the treatment outcome. The aim of the study was to compare soft tissue facial profile between s...

Face Detection is the first step of facial recognition algorithms and has been widely researched in the visible spectrum. Current research has shown that thermal facial recognition is as accurate as the visible spectrum recognition algorithms. This paper presents three face detection algorithms in both long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) images and visible spectrum images. The paper compares the Vi...

INTRODUCTION Skeletal Class III malocclusion is often referred for orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. However, with the aid of miniplates, some moderate discrepancies become feasible to be treated without surgery. OBJECTIVE To report the case of a 24-year-old man with severe skeletal Angle Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and a consequent concave facial pr...

Research into facial expression recognition has predominantly been applied to face images at frontal view only. Some attempts have been made to produce pose invariant facial expression classifiers. However, most of these atte...

Lexical processing among bilinguals is often affected by complex patterns of individual experience. In this paper we discuss the psychocentric perspective on language representation and processing, which highlights the centrality of individual experience in psycholinguistic experimentation. We discuss applications to the investigation of lexical processing among multilinguals and explore the ad...
