In this paper, facial expressions of the three Turkish presidential candidates Demirtas, Erdogan and Ihsanoglu (in alphabetical order) are analyzed during the publicity speeches featured at TRT (Turkish Radio and Television) on 03.08.2014. FaceReader is used for the analysis where 3D modeling of the face is achieved using the active appearance models (AAM). Over 500 landmark points are tracked ...

We present an algorithm that efficiently tracks a predefined set of landmark points in a time sequence of images. The algorithm iteratively optimizes the correspondences between the point measurements in the images, while allowing for spurious and missing point measurements. This trajectory based approach hypothesizes missing points by interpolation. Spurious measurements are either left out be...

A large number of registration techniques rely on manually selected landmark points. A system based on neural principles has been developed to automatically extract landmark types and positional information from magnetic resonance images. A single self-organising map is used to develop the features (landmark types) so that the final landmarks represent statistically significant contour sections...

Four experiments examined 3- and 4-year-olds' ability to communicate about containment and proximity relations. One hundred twenty-eight children either described where a miniature mouse was hiding in a dollhouse or they searched for the mouse after the experimenter described where it was hiding. The mouse was always hidden with a small landmark that was either in or next to a large landmark. W...
