We present local feature evaluation for a constrained local model (CLM) framework. We target facial images captured by a mobile camera such as a smartphone. When recognizing facial images captured by a mobile camera, changes in lighting conditions and image degradation from motion blur are considerable problems. CLM is effective for recognizing a facial expression because partial occlusions can...

We have detected the T Tauri star, DO Tauri, in a 0.6 ′′-resolution VLA map of 43.3 GHz (λ = 7 mm) continuum emission. The 43 GHz flux density lies on the same power-law slope defined by 89 to 232 GHz measurements, F ν ∝ ν α with index α = 2.39±0.23, confirming that the 43.3 GHz emission is thermal radiation from circumstellar dust. Upper limits to the flux densities at 8.4 and 22.5 GHz constra...

In this paper we study the feasibility of using standard deformable model fitting techniques to accurately track the deformation and motion of the human eye. To this end, we propose two highly detailed shape annotation schemes (open and close eyes), with +30 feature landmark points, high resolution eye images. We build extremely detailed Active Appearance Models (AAM), Constrained Local Models ...

Humans spend a large amount of their time interacting with computers of one type or another. However, computers are emotionally blind and indifferent to the affective states of their users. Human-computer interaction which does not consider emotions, ignores a whole channel of available information. Faces contain a large portion of our emotionally expressive behaviour. We use facial expressions...

the objective of this study was to evaluate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some reproductive traits of black bengal does. genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. the least-squares means of litter size at birth (lsb), litter size at weaning (lsw), litter weight at birt...

An index coding (IC) problem consisting of a server and multiple receivers with different side-information and demand sets can be equivalently represented using a fitting matrix. A scalar linear index code to a given IC problem is a matrix representing the transmitted linear combinations of the message symbols. The length of an index code is then the number of transmissions (or equivalently, th...

The objective of this paper is to propose an asymmetric Gaussian function as an alternative to the existing active force-length models, and to optimize this model along with several other existing models by using the least squares curve fitting method. The minimal set of coefficients is identified for each of these models to facilitate the least squares curve fitting. Sarcomere simulated data a...
