The functional and aesthetic importance of the maxilla is difficult to overestimate. The central face, no$e, upper lip, orbit, malar region, and cheek form the centerpiece of fabi.al identity. ln addition, the maxilla mitigates transmission of occlusal forces to the cranium; supports the upper podion of the face, the cranial vault, and'the brain; anchors the dentition; and forms the framework f...

Excessive gingival exposure at the maxillary anterior region during not only smiling (a gummy face) but also at rest creates both functional and aesthetic problems for patients. We herein introduce a unique treatment procedure for mandibular retrognathia with a gummy face. This procedure combines conventional Le Fort I osteotomy and following corticotomy at the anterior region of the maxilla. S...

This paper shows an approach to the detection and identification of human faces in a color image. Detection of human faces is becoming a very important task in various applications, such as video surveillance and security control system, intelligent human computer interface, face recognition, content-based image retrieval, multimedia applications on the web like video conferencing and face data...

An algorithm to automatically detect facial features from color images has been developed. First, face region is located using skin-color information. Then, the iris candidates are extracted from the intensity valleys created from the detected face. Next, the costs for each pair of iris candidates are computed to determine the real pair of irises. Mouth region and corners are detected using col...

This paper proposes a novel method for video-based real time face recognition. The proposed method uses motion information to detect the face region, and the region is processed in color space to determine the location of the eyes. The system extracts only the gray level features relative to the location of the eyes. Autoassociative Neural Network (AANN) model is used to capture the distributio...

The neural system underlying face perception must represent the unchanging features of a face that specify identity, as well as the changeable aspects of a face that facilitate social communication. However, the way information about faces is represented in the brain remains controversial. In this study, we used fMR adaptation (the reduction in fMRI activity that follows the repeated presentati...

Understanding the Face Inversion Effect is important for the study of face processing. Some researchers believe that the processing of inverted faces is qualitatively different from the processing of upright faces because inversion leads to a disproportionate performance decrement on the processing of different kinds of face information. Other researchers believe that the difference is quantita...
