Markov Face Models

چکیده
The spatial distribution of gray level intensities in an image can be naturally modeled using Markov Random Field (MRF) models. We develop and investigate the performance of face detection algorithms derived from MRF considerations. For enhanced detection, the MRF models are defined for every permutation of site indices in the image. We find the optimal permutation that provides maximum discriminatory power to identify faces from nonfaces. The methodology presented here is a generalization of the face detection algorithm in [1, 2] where a most discriminating Markov chain model was used. The MRF models successfully detect faces in a number of test images in real time.

متن کاملHidden Markov models for face recognition
The work presented in this paper focuses on the use of Hidden Markov Models for face recognition. A new method based on the extraction of 2D-DCT feature vectors is described, and the recognition results are compared with other face recognition approaches. The method introduced in this paper reduces signi cantly the computational complexity of previous HMM-based face recognition system, while pr...

In this paper Semi-Markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. Each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. Semi-Markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. In Semi-Markov models each zone can be considered as a sta...

This paper investigates the asymmetric effects of monetary policy on economic growth over business cycles in Iran. Estimating the models using the Hamilton (1989) Markov-switching model and by employing the data for 1960-2012, the results well identify two regimes characterized as expansion and recession. Moreover, the results show that an expansionary monetary policy has a positive and statist...
متن کاملFace Detection and Synthesis Using Markov Random Field Models
Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are proposed as viable stochastic models for the spatial distribution of gray level intensities for images of human faces. These models are trained using data bases of face and non-face images. The MRF models are then used for detecting human faces in test images. The number of human face images in the training data base can be increased by simulating face-like as we...
