Automatic age progression and estimation from faces
… image and a template face formed by averaging faces at the intended age. To this end, this thesis investigates the problem with a view to tackling the most prominent issues associated with the existing algorithms. Initially using active appearance models (AAM), facial features are extracted and …

Other-race faces : limitations of expert face recognition /
… face recognition is limited to the kinds of faces they encounter on a daily basis (typically upright human faces of the same race). Adults process own-race faces holistically (Le., as a gestalt) and are exquisitely sensitive to small differences among faces in the spacing of features, the …

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.

Visual perception and representation of objects and faces
Interpreting the results of visual object perception experiments is too often ill-posed due to the disparate and sparse choice of stimuli. To address this problem, we have developed a flexible new technique called Random Image Structure Evolution (RISE). In the simplest case, RISE involves the …
