Establishing a Database for Studying Human Face Photograph Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contemporary visual environments bombard us with hundreds of face images every day, and this places a nontrivial demand on long-term memory. However, little is known about what makes certain faces remain in our memories, while others are quickly forgotten. To establish a basis for face memorability exploration, we assembled a database of 8,690 face photographs from online sources, spanning diverse face and image characteristics. Workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk were asked to identify repetitions within a stream of these stimuli. Variations in image memorability (hit rates, false alarm rates, and their interactions) were reliable across participants, suggesting that face images may have different intrinsic levels of memorability. We discuss future directions in using this database to quantify face photograph memorability, as well as potential scientific and commercial applications.

Labeled Faces in the Wild: A Database for Studying Face Recognition in Unconstrained Environments
Most face databases have been created under controlled conditions to facilitate the study of specific parameters on the face recognition problem. These parameters include such variables as position, pose, lighting, background, camera quality, and gender. While there are many applications for face recognition technology in which one can control the parameters of image acquisition, there are also...
متن کاملA New Fast and Efficient HMM-Based Face Recognition System Using a 7-State HMM Along With SVD Coefficients
In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...

Part one is a set of 286 color photographs that include a total of 1027 faces in the original format given by our digital cameras, offering a wide range of difference in orienta...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Grayscale Morphological and Unsupervised method for Human Facial Synthesis Based on an Example Image
Human facial generation of example image is used as a requirement for biometric applications for the purpose of identifying individuals. In this paper, face generation consists of three main steps. In the first step, detection of significant lines and edges of the example image are carried out using nonlinear grayscale morphology. Then, hair areas are identified from the face of sample. The fin...
متن کاملThe Photograph as a Cultural Arbitrator in the Design of Virtual Learning Environments for Children and Young People
Digital technology, the Internet and mobile communication have made picture taking and sharing ubiquitous. The photograph with its long track record as a representational artefact now portrays individuals in ever broader contexts. The once distinctive practice of the snapshot aesthetic in capturing the banal and everyday has become culturally pervasive and children are key creators, producers a...
