Higher-level mechanisms detect facial symmetry.
The role of symmetry detection in early visual processing and the sensitivity of biological visual systems to symmetry across a wide range of organisms suggest that symmetry can be detected by low-level visual mechanisms. However, computational and functional considerations suggest that higher-level mechanisms may also play a role in facial symmetry detection. We tested this hypothesis by exami...
متن کاملHigher level chromatic mechanisms for image segmentation.
We used a noise-masking paradigm to investigate the number and properties of chromatic mechanisms involved in image segmentation. Observers were presented with a pattern of dynamic random squares, each independently modulated along a certain direction in DKL color space, either in the isoluminant plane or in the L - M luminance plane. A signal consisting of a rectangular region of squares, orie...
متن کاملAttention Based Facial Symmetry Detection
Symmetry is a fundamental structure that is found to some extent in all images. It is thought to be an important factor in the human visual system for obtaining understanding and extracting semantics from visual material. This paper describes a method of detecting axes of reflective symmetry in faces that does not require prior assumptions about the image being analysed. The approach is derived...
متن کاملSymmetry and Human Facial Attractiveness
Symmetry may act as a marker of phenotypic and genetic quality and is preferred during mate selection in a variety of species. Measures of human body symmetry correlate with attractiveness, but studies manipulating human face images report a preference for asymmetry. These results may reflect unnatural feature shapes and changes in skin textures introduced by image processing. When the shape of...
متن کاملHigher Order Symmetry of Graphs
This lecture gives background to and results of work of my student John Shrimpton [19, 20, 21]. It advertises the joining of two themes: groups and symmetry; and categorical methods and analogues of set theory. Groups are expected to be associated with symmetry. Klein’s famous Erlanger Programme asserted that the study of a geometry was the study of the group of automorphisms of that geometry. ...
