Discrimination of Computer Generated versus Natural Human Faces
… generated multimedia data, e.g., scenes, human characters and other objects, making them achieve a very high quality level. However, these synthetic objects may be used to create situations which may not be present in real world, hence raising the demand of having advance tools for …

Representing the Appearances of Human Faces for Recognition
While the techniques have been applied to human faces, the presented approximations to the appearance manifold are general and can be applied to other classes of objects.

The visual processing of human faces and bodies as visual stimuli in natural scenes
How faces are recognized and detected has been the focus of an extensive corpus of research. As such, it is now well established that human faces can be detected rapidly in a visual scene and that they automatically capture a viewer’s attention over other objects. However, under natural viewing …

Developing a Computer System for the Generation of Unique Wrinkle Maps for Human Faces. Generating 2D Wrinkle Maps using Various Image Processing Techniques and the Design of 3D Facial Ageing System using 3D Modelling Tools
… suspects. FA affects several parts of the human face under the influence of different biological and environmental factors. One of the major facial feature changes that occur as a result of ageing is the appearance and development of wrinkles. Facial wrinkles are skin folds; their shapes …

The Uncanny Valley Effect
… making industrial robots appear so highly human-like that they could unsettle the real humans around them. It proposed a specific pattern of negative emotional responses to entities that were almost but not quite human, and has been proposed as the reason why some entities such as dolls, …

Fake people with real influence: Human responses to computer-generated (CG) and GAN faces
… - including with "people" who are not human. Computer-generated (CG) beings are now providing social companionship, romantic partnership, and even psychological and medical advice, which people have easy access to from the comfort of their own home. CG faces are also becoming …

Automatic 3D facial modelling with deformable models.
… to extremely complex biomechanical structures of human faces and peoples visual familiarity with human faces, modelling and animating realistic human faces is still one of greatest challenges in computer graphics. Since we are so familiar with human faces and very sensitive to unnatural subtle …

Deep learning for face detection using matlab
… managed to establish an accurate accurate human face detection and crystal-clear human face recognition systems. The system will annul the face image that are tilted, the images on non-human faces as well as the images of human faces that have watermarks. The test results on face tracking …

Investigation of New Techniques for Face detection
The task of detecting human faces within either a still image or a video frame is one of the most popular object detection problems. For the last twenty years researchers have shown great interest in this problem because it is an essential pre-processing stage for computing systems that process …

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Text-to-Image models
… performance in generating accurate images of human faces, groups, and specified numbers of objects, using both Frechet Inception Distance (FID) scores and R-precision as my evaluation metrics. Moreover, I uncover inherent gender or social biases these models may possess. My research reveals a …

On oxytocin and social behavior
… behavior in animals, but its role in regulating human social cognition and behavior is less clear, particularly with regard to endogenous oxytocin. The aims of this thesis were to investigate (i) how endogenous oxytocin affects face and emotion recognition in humans, (ii) how it may modulate …

Locating facial features with active shape models
… of locating features in frontal views of upright human faces. The dissertation starts with the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [19] and extends it with the following techniques: 1. Selectively using two-instead of one-dimensional landmark profiles. 2. Stacking two Active Shape Models in …

Multiview active shape models with SIFT descriptors
… techniques for locating landmarks in images of human faces. A modified Active Shape Model (ASM [21]) is introduced that uses a form of SIFT descriptors [68]. Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS [40]) are used to efficiently match descriptors around landmarks. This modified ASM is fast …

An Inquiry Concerning the Nature of Racial Discourse
… genetic natural kinds or distinct parts of the human phylogenetic tree. I show—on both empirical and theoretical grounds—that the reality of race cannot be supported in this way. Then, I turn to evolutionary biology and psychology for a proper account of race that can underwrite racial …

Persons, perception, and play : human Christological inscape in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins.
… that Hopkins presents a consistent dynamic of "human" inscape which explains a noticeable disparity expressed across his early, middle, and late periods regarding the felt presence of Christ. In the first chapter, I argue that a "tryptic" of poems I curate explains how a person is "cleaved" from …
