automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. however, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. in this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (ldp), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. an ldp feat...

Introduction To extract and combine information from different modalities, fusion techniques are commonly applied to promote system performance. In this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of fusion techniques in emotion recognition. Materials and Methods Electrocardiogram (ECG) and galvanic skin responses (GSR) of 11 healthy female students (mean age: 22.73±1.68 years) were collected ...

car license plate recognition is addressed in this paper. given the development of intelligent transportation systems, it is absolutely essential to implement a strong license plate recognition system. efforts were made to put forward a novel reliable method for car license plate recognition in iran. each license plate recognition system comprises three main parts. the first part is the license...

disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on local phase quantization (lpq) method and singular value decomposition (svd) is presented which deals with two main challenges. the first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

With an increasing emphasis on security, automated personal identification based on biometrics has been receiving extensive attention. Iris recognition, as an emerging biometric recognition approach, is becoming a very active topic in both research and practical applications. In general, a typical iris recognition system includes iris imaging, iris liveness detection, and recognition. This rese...

Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...
