PURPOSE People with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have difficulties in familiar face recognition and facial expression discrimination. Our aim was to evaluate the visual processing of faces in AMD patients and whether this would be improved by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. This was a prospective interventional cohort study. PATIENTS Twelve patients with monocular w...

Many pathogenic structural variants of the human genome are known to cause facial dysmorphism. During the past decade, pathogenic structural variants have also been found to be an important class of genetic risk factor for epilepsy. In other fields, face shape has been assessed objectively using 3D stereophotogrammetry and dense surface models. We hypothesized that computer-based analysis of 3D...

Based on a novel, example-based approach for studying how children’s faces change as they grow, we present an automated algorithm for the prediction of children’s facial growth. A single image of an arbitrary face at its present appearance is sufficient to estimate an age-progressed 3D face model of the individual. By extracting and applying growth vectors from a previously acquired database, t...

Face hallucination is a task of generating high-resolution (HR) face images from low-resolution (LR) inputs, which subfield the general image super-resolution. However, most previous methods only consider visual effect, ignoring how to maintain identity face. In this work, we propose novel model, called C-Face network, can generate HR with high quality while preserving information. A recognitio...

In this paper, numerical simulations of face stability shallow tunnels are carried out by using the particle discrete element codes PFC2D from microscopic view. Progressive instability tunnel is achieved through withdrawal baffle used to simulate face. Under different retreating displacement face, evolution laws support pressure on ground deformation, surface settlement and contact force chain ...
