FACES Evolving faces from principal components
نویسنده
چکیده
A system that uses an underlying genetic algorithm to evolve faces in response to user selection is described. The descriptions of faces used by the system are derived from a statistical analysis of a set of faces. The faces used for generation are transformed to an average shape by defining locations around each face and morphing. The shape-free images and shape vectors are then separately subjected to principal components analysis. Novel faces are generated by recombining the image components ("eigenfaces") and then morphing their shape according to the principal components of the shape vectors ("eigenshapes"). The prototype system indicates that such statistical analysis of a set of faces can produce plausible, randomly generated photographic images.

Face processing: human perception and principal components analysis.
Principal components analysis (PCA) of face images is here related to subjects' performance on the same images. In two experiments subjects were shown a set of faces and asked to rate them for distinctiveness. They were subsequently shown a superset of faces and asked to identify those that had appeared originally. Replicating previous work, we found that hits and false positives (FPs) did not ...
متن کاملView-Subspace Analysis of Multi-View Face Patterns
Multi-view face detection and recognition has been a challenging problem. The challenge is due to the fact that the distribution of multi-view faces in a feature space is more dispersed and more complicated than that of frontal faces. This paper presents an investigation into several view-subspace representations of multi-view faces, learned by using independent component analysis (ICA), indepe...
متن کاملThe PCA learning effect: An emerging correlate of face memory during childhood.
Human adults implicitly learn the prototype and the principal components of the variability distinguishing faces (Gao & Wilson, 2014). Here we measured the implicit learning effect in adults and 9-year-olds, and with a modified child-friendly procedure, in 7-year-olds. All age groups showed the implicit learning effect by falsely recognizing the average (the prototype effect) and the principal ...
متن کاملModel-based face computation
A two-dimensional statistical prior model of faces was constructed using the principal components of the shape and texture of a large number of face photographs. Specifically, 94 feature points were manually located on 500 faces selected from the FERET database [1]. The shape variation is then removed by morphing all faces to the mean shape and a second model describing the face texture variati...
متن کاملThe Motivational Salience of Faces Is Related to Both Their Valence and Dominance
Both behavioral and neural measures of the motivational salience of faces are positively correlated with their physical attractiveness. Whether physical characteristics other than attractiveness contribute to the motivational salience of faces is not known, however. Research with male macaques recently showed that more dominant macaques' faces hold greater motivational salience. Here we investi...
