In this paper, a thermal infra red face recognition system for human identification and verification using blood perfusion data and back propagation feed forward neural network is proposed. The system consists of three steps. At the very first step face region is cropped from the colour 24-bit input images. Secondly face features are extracted from the croped region, which will be taken as the ...

Jaundice begins in the infants from the very early days of birth; the symptoms usually appear with yellow skin and sometimes eyes, jaundice first involves only the face, but it also affects the chest, abdomen, legs, and the soles of the feet and the lower limbs.  In this ethnobotanical study, attempt was made to identify medicinal plants used in the herbal medicine of Shahrekord region to treat...

This paper is aimed at developing and combining different algorithms for face detection and face recognition to generate an efficient mechanism that can detect and recognize the facial regions of input image. For the detection of face from complex region, skin segmentation isolates the face-like regions in a complex image and following operations of morphology and template matching rejects fals...

Unlike most other objects that are processed analytically, faces are processed configurally. This configural processing is reflected early in visual processing following face inversion and contrast reversal, as an increase in the N170 amplitude, a scalp-recorded event-related potential. Here, we show that these face-specific effects are mediated by the eye region. That is, they occurred only wh...

A long-period grating (LPG) based compact optical fiber sensor working in reflection mode is demonstrated. A technique to make a mirror on the cladding region of a fiber end-face to reflect only the cladding modes was realized by growing a polymeric microtip on the core region of the fiber end-face, by photopolymerization, followed by coating the fiber end-face with an aluminum film. Using the ...

In this paper, we have presented a new idea for face shape classification based on the three techniques such as facial region similarity, correlation and fractal dimensions. The human face is described by different semantic attributes like shape, color and texture. The semantic description of the object attributes helps in searching the object by its contents. The face shape similarity is descr...

We present a novel region-based matching approach for automatic 3D face recognition which is robust to facial expressions, facial hair, illumination changes and large occlusions. Each 3D face in the gallery is segmented offline into three disjoint regions, namely eyes-forehead, nose and cheeks. Recognition is performed on the basis of only the eyes-forehead and nose regions to avoid the effects...
