The frontal and temporal lobe regions of the brain have a high vulnerability to injury as a consequence of cerebral trauma. One reason for this selective vulnerability is how the frontal and temporal regions are situated in the anterior and cranial fossa of the skull. These concavities of the skull base cup the frontal and temporal lobes which create surface areas of contact between the dura, b...

Obtaining a high-quality frontal face image from low-resolution (LR) non-frontal is primarily important for many facial analysis applications. However, mainstreams either focus on super-resolving near-frontal LR faces or frontalizing high-resolution (HR) faces. It desirable to perform both tasks seamlessly daily-life unconstrained images. In this paper, we present novel Vivid Face Hallucination...

The frontal operculum-classically considered to be Broca's area-has special significance and interest in clinical, cognitive, and comparative neuroscience given its role in spoken language and the long-held assumption that structural asymmetry of this region of cortex may be related to functional lateralization of human language. We performed a detailed morphological and morphometric analysis o...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Objectives were as follows: 1) to define the variations of the uncinate process' superior attachment, 2) to study the diameter of the frontal sinus ostium, 3) to study the prevalence of the agger nasi cells, and 4) to evaluate the side-to-side variability of these structures. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective clinical study at a tertiary care center. METHODS One hundred for...

ALD, which is the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), is a rare inherited metabolic disease caused by an enzyme deficiency leading to accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA), especially in brain and adrenal cortex. Its prevalence is currently estimated at 1:30,000 to 50,000 in males in Japan. We report a 34-year-old man, who acts of theft, peep and obscenity with adult o...

In this work we propose to address the problem of non-frontal face verification when only a frontal training image is available (e.g. a passport photograph) by augmenting a client’s frontal face model with artificially synthesized models for non-frontal views. In the framework of a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based classifier, two techniques are proposed for the synthesis: UBMdiff and LinReg. ...

The objective was to compare brain perfusion image using 3-dimensional stereotactic surface projection analysis of N-isopropyl-p-123I iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography between Parkinson's disease patients with a high frontal assessment battery score and those with a low frontal assessment battery score. Thirty nondemented patients with Parkinson's disease were studied. ...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is an imaging method by which nerves can be selectively highlighted. Using commercial software, the authors explored a variety of approaches to develop a three-dimensional volume-rendered MRN image of the entire brachial plexus and used it to evaluate the accuracy of infraclavicular block approaches. METHODS With institutional review board appro...

In bio-metric analysis system, such as face recognition, human computer interaction and so on, face is considered as one of the significant factor in remote life science. Images captured from inexpensive surveillances camera provides low resolution images. To avoid this problem, we need to retrieve a high-resolution image from those types of low-resolution video sequence. In order to provide a ...
