Human facial expressions detection plays a central role in pervasive health care and it is an active research field in computer vision. In this paper, a novel method for facial expression detection from dynamic facial images is proposed, which includes two stages of feature extraction and facial expression detection. Firstly, Active Shape Model (ASM) is used to extract the local texture feature...

BACKGROUND Altered emotional processing, including reduced emotion facial expression and defective emotion recognition, has been reported in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, few studies have objectively investigated facial expression abnormalities in PD using neurophysiological techniques. It is not known whether altered facial expression and recognition in PD are related. OBJ...

Airbnb is an online marketplace for peer-to-peer accommodation rental services. In contrast to traditional rental services, personal profile images, i.e. the sellers' facial images, are present along with the housing on offer. This study aims to investigate the impact of a seller's facial image and their expression upon buyers' behavior in this context. The impact of facial expressions was inve...

It is an important question how human beings achieve efficient recognition of others' facial expressions in cognitive neuroscience, and it has been identified that specific cortical regions show preferential activation to facial expressions in previous studies. However, the potential contributions of the connectivity patterns in the processing of facial expressions remained unclear. The present...
