Most methodologies not only differ in the kind of techniques used to pinpoint the location of landmarks but in many other ways like: the size of training and test dataset, quality and variations covered in the dataset based on age, race, gender, etc., different studies use distinctive landmarks and different methodologies to report the results. In this Chapter, we propose a combination of local...

<span lang="id">Blink detection is an important technique in a variety of settings, including facial motion analysis and signal processing. However, automatic blink challenging due to its rate. This paper proposes real-time method for detecting eye blinks video series. The based on landmark trained real-world datasets demonstrates robustness against various environmental factors, lighting...

This paper investigates how to rapidly and accurately localize facial landmarks in unconstrained, cluttered environments rather than in the well segmented face images. We present a novel Backbone-Branches Fully-Convolutional Neural Network (BB-FCN), which produces facial landmark response maps directly from raw images without relying on pre-process or sliding window approaches. BB-FCN contains ...

A real-time algorithm to detect eye blinks in a video sequence from a standard camera is proposed. Recent landmark detectors, trained on in-thewild datasets exhibit excellent robustness against a head orientation with respect to a camera, varying illumination and facial expressions. We show that the landmarks are detected precisely enough to reliably estimate the level of the eye opening. The p...

A real-time algorithm to detect eye blinks in a video sequence from a standard camera is proposed. Recent landmark detectors, trained on in-the-wild datasets exhibit excellent robustness against face resolution, varying illumination and facial expressions. We show that the landmarks are detected precisely enough to reliably estimate the level of the eye openness. The proposed algorithm therefor...

Recently, a method called RLGS (Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning) has been developed in order to detect and analyze the genetic alterations by observing the entire genomic DNA after separating DNA fragments in a single two-dimensional slab gel [1]. To analyze gel images obtained by the RLGS method, a lot of tasks must be done: thousands of spots must be detected where each spot corresponds...

conclusions in our conditions, the use of an anatomical landmark-guided procedure was the preferred treatment method due to limited resources and a lack of adequate training. background central venous cannulation is a current and important procedure used in the operating room and intensive care unit. some studies have shown that the application of ultrasound-guided cannulation can improve the s...

geometric morphometric method was used to examine body shape variations among all the seven valid species of the genus alburnus in iran. in total 409 specimens of a. chalcoides, a. filippii, a. atropatenae, a. caeruleus, a. mossulensis, a. hohenackeri and a. zagrosensis were collected from babolrud, baleqlu-chai, miriseh, sarabeleh, gamasiyab, mahabad-chai rivers and the gandoman lagoon, respec...

A foot database comprising 3D foot shapes and footwear fitting reports of more than 300 participants is presented. It was primarily acquired to study footwear fitting, though it can also be used to analyse anatomical features of the foot. In fact, we present a technique for automatic detection of several foot anatomical landmarks, together with some empirical results.
