Automatic human face detection in color images
Automatic human face detection in digital image has been an active area of research over the past decade. Among its numerous applications, face detection plays a key role in face recognition system for biometric personal identification, face tracking for intelligent human computer interface (HCI), …

A critical comparison of human face rendering techniques
Human skin exhibits complex light reflectance properties that make it difficult to render realistically. In recent years, many techniques have been introduced to render skin, with varying degrees of complexity and realism. In this thesis, I will implement several of these techniques, and use them …

Analysis of Human Face Shape Abnormalities Using Machine Learning
… 3D facial characteristics. This study focuses on face abnormality, especially, children with cleft lip and/or palate. Cleft lip is a birth defect that results in deformity of the upper lip and nose. Its severity is widely variable and the results of treatment are influenced by the initial …

Detection of human face from sketches using deep learning networks
… be a time consuming task if not impossible for a human being. This work investigates the application of artificial techniques (AI), specifically, the recent state of the art deep learning techniques to identify people based on their sketches for law and enforcement. The dataset is collected from …

Appearance based modeling and learning of the human face with application to biometrics
In this dissertation we study key problems in face processing, with a focus on the applications in biometrics, including both hard biometrics (i.e. conventional face recognition) and soft biometrics, where demographical attributes (e.g. gender and age) are recognized. We categorize face processing …

Facial hacking: the twisted logic of electro-facial choreography
… exploration of the external controlled human face with the aim to identify fundamental electro-facial choreographic patterns. Rewiring the human face to an external digital control system, has sparked a radical new way of thinking about the human facial display. Radical, as facial …

Measuring Community Consensus in Facial Characterization Using Spatial Databases and Fuzzy Logic
… can be used to represent key features of the human face. One can search spatial databases for these objects, and seek the relationships between them, using fuzzy logic to provide a natural way to describe the human face for the purposes of facial characterization. This study focuses on …

Caricature generator
The human face is a highly significant visual display which we are able to remember and recognize easily despite the fact that we are exposed to thousands of faces which may be metrically very similar. caricature is a graphical coding of facial features which seeks to be more like the face than the …

Facial expressions emotional recognition with NAO robot
Human-robot interaction research is diverse and covers a wide range of topics. All aspects of human factors and robotics are within the purview of HRI research so far as they provide insight into how to improve our understanding in developing effective tools, protocols, and systems to enhance HRI. …

Face Value
<p>The human face is the most universally important focus of communication. It is a significant source of identity and the most expressive means of nonverbal communication. We use our faces to speak and express emotions. We use faces to recognize friends or foes; to spot family resemblances; and to …

Cognitive representation of facial asymmetry
The human face displays mild asymmetry, with measurements of facial structure differing from left to right of the meridian by an average of three percent. Presently this source of variation is of theoretical interest primarily to researchers studying the perception of beauty, but a very limited …
