Avatar Creation using Automatic Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the multimedia context, an avatar is the visual representation of the self in a virtual world. It is desirable to incorporate personal information, such as an image of face, about the user into the avatar. To this end we have developed an algorithm which can automatically extract a face from an image, modify it, characterize it in terms of high-level properties, and apply it to the creation of a personalized avatar. The algorithm has been tested on several hundred facial images, including many taken under uncontrolled acquisition conditions, and found to exhibit satisfactory performance for immediate practical use.

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Corpus Creation
This paper deals with the automatic real-world face corpus creation. The main contribution consists in proposition and evaluation of the automatic face corpus creation algorithm. Next, we statistically analysed the structure of the created face corpus when the automatic algorithm is used. We further compared the face recognition accuracy of our previously developed face recognition approach on ...

متن کاملSolving Avatar Captchas Automatically
Captchas are challenge-response tests used in many online systems to prevent attacks by automated bots. Avatar Captchas are a recently-proposed variant in which users are asked to classify between human faces and computergenerated avatar faces, and have been shown to be secure if bots employ random guessing. We test a variety of modern object recognition and machine learning approaches on the p...
