On this paper it is shown a study and integration of different procedures in order to detect a face in a still picture or track it in a movie sequence. Once a skin colour region has been detected by colour segmentation, it is then classified as face or non-face through a template matching method. This method has been improved by the use of fuzzy theory. After face detection, face features, e.g....

children and adolescents are vulnerable to violent situations in their social, family and school environment. the aim of the study was to characterize morbidity due to violence in brazilian children and adolescents.a cross-sectional study through the analysis of 1,356 corpus delicti medical reports and police reports of children and adolescents aged 0-19 years, victims of interpersonal violence...

We present a method to narrow down the search space for scale-invariant human face detection, which uses Dynamic Attention Map implemented by Ising dynamics. Combining the proposed method and the scale-invariant face detection method which is based on both Higher-Order Local Autocorrelation (HLAC) features of Log-Polar image and Linear Discriminant Analysis for \face" and \not face" classiicati...

The Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is one of the most successfull techniques that have been used to recognize faces in images. This technique consists of extracting the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of an image from a covariance matrix, which is constructed from an image database. These eigenvectors and eigenvalues are used for image classification, obtaining nice results as far as face rec...

introduction phenylketonuria (pku) is a congenital metabolic disorder of phenylalanine, if which, the diet is not to be followed exactly, it can lead to progressive mental retardation. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of face to face and non-face to face trainings by parental on controlling serum phenylalanine levels in the children with phenylketonuria. materials and met...

Facial features’ localization is a crucial step for many systems of face detection and facial expression recognition. It plays an essential role in human face analysis especially in searching for facial features (mouth, nose and eyes) when the face region is included within the image. The fundamental technique used in facial analysis is to detect the face and subsequently the associated salient...

Although most adults are considered experts in face recognition, brain trauma can produce a selective loss in this ability, a condition referred to as prosopagnosia. This study examined the processing strategies of prosopagnosic patients LR and HH using the Face Dimensions Test. In this test, featural and configural information in the upper and lower halves of the face was parametrically varied...

The temporal sequence of neural processes supporting figure-ground perception was investigated by recording ERPs associated with subjects' perceptions of the face-vase figure. In Experiment 1, subjects continuously reported whether they perceived the face or the vase as the foreground figure by pressing one of two buttons. Each button press triggered a probe flash to the face region, the vase r...

background: the aim of the study was to compare the effects of 'face-to-face education' and 'educational movies' on  'knowledge' and 'practice' of women of child-bearing-age, in terms of health-care during pregnancy and during infancy in a suburban region near tehran city, iran.   methods: in this quasi-experimental study, the sample included 873 married women. questionnaires for knowledge and ...

This paper proposes a fast and confident approach to face detection. Initially we detect and segment the regions of image with human skin color. The regions with similar features are merged in order to generate a bigger region. Following the extraction of each region's features, the resulted data is given to the fuzzy system trying to determine regions which are most likely to belong to skin. A...
