Preprocessing Images of Faces: Correlations with Human Perceptions of Distinctiveness and Familiarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work is to further our understanding of how humans process and recognise faces. We are doing this by proceeding in parallel with testing subjects and building computer models. If a model reflects the way that humans process face images, it ought, among other things, to fail in the same way: to find the same faces easy or difficult. One characteristic of human recognition is that of distinctiveness: some faces are never forgotten, others easily lost in a crowd. This paper describes the use of various forms of image processing to see whether they correlate with human perceptions of distinctiveness, memorability and familiarity.

A comparison of two computer-based face identification systems with human perceptions of faces
The performance of two different computer systems for representing faces was compared with human ratings of similarity and distinctiveness, and human memory performance, on a specific set of face images. The systems compared were a graph-matching system (Lades M, Vorbrüggen JC, Buhmann J, Lage J, von der Malsburg C, Würtz RP, Konen W. IEEE., Trans Comput 1993;42:300-311.) and coding based on pr...
متن کاملPerceptual and Social Attributes Underlining Age-Related Preferences for Faces
Although aesthetic preferences are known to be important in person perception and can play a significant role in everyday social decisions, the effect of the age of the observer on aesthetic preferences for faces of different ages has not yet been fully investigated. In the present study we investigated whether aesthetic preferences change with aging, with an age-related bias in favoring faces ...
متن کاملThe Role of Familiarity for Representations in Norm-Based Face Space
According to the norm-based version of the multidimensional face space model (nMDFS, Valentine, 1991), any given face and its corresponding anti-face (which deviates from the norm in exactly opposite direction as the original face) should be equidistant to a hypothetical prototype face (norm), such that by definition face and anti-face should bear the same level of perceived typicality. However...
متن کاملExploring the motion advantage: evaluating the contribution of familiarity and differences in facial motion.
Seeing a face move can improve familiar face recognition, face matching, and learning. More specifically, familiarity with a face may facilitate the learning of an individual's "dynamic facial signature". In the outlined research we examine the relationship between participant ratings of familiarity, the distinctiveness of motion, the amount of facial motion, and the recognition of familiar mov...
متن کاملFacial Memory Is Kernel Density Estimation (Almost)
We compare the ability of three exemplar-based memory models, each using three different face stimulus representations, to account for the probability a human subject responded “old” in an old/new facial memory experiment. The models are 1) the Generalized Context Model, 2) SimSample, a probabilistic sampling model, and 3) DBM, a novel model related to kernel density estimation that explicitly ...
