Face verification is an application of object recognition. Two face images are compared and the question is if these images are of the same face or not. With this in view, this thesis project devises a way to utilize the epipolar geometric constraint, which exists between two different images of the same face. The epipolar geometry is algebraically represented by the fundamental matrix which ca...

Face recognition with its wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications has been one of the most active areas of research in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. Personal identification systems based on faces have the advantage that facial images can be obtained from a distance without requiring cooperation of the subject, as compared to other biometrics such as fin...

1. The runs: • A_brU_1 – features extracted from each frame; SVM per-frame classifier trained on frames in each shot; simple decision tree judging shots based on per-frame results • A_brV_2 – same as A_brU_1, but SVM trained on all training data (the first run divided the training data to training and cross-validation datasets), with SVM configured from the previous run 2. Significant differenc...

However, few studies have examined patients' perceptions of their appearance following cosmetic facial surgery and/or nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. This study identified patient-reported outcome measures developed and validated for use in patients undergoin...

the use of l1 in language classroom has been traditionally repressed by applied linguists. however, in recent years, it is believed that switching to l1 can be considered a pedagogical instrument by teachers rather than a heterodox. consequently, this two-phase study was an attempt to investigate the functions that are fulfilled by efl teachers through their use of l1. in the first phase (i.e.,...

conclusions the evaluation of the questionnaire for identifying the individuals in the risk of addiction showed that the questionnaire benefits from appropriate validity and reliability. therefore, it can be used in preventive fields and research. moreover, by illuminating interpersonal factors that are effective in drug abuse, proper strategies can be used to prevent drug addiction. results in...

The validation of the nutritional literacy questionnaire with a broader concept has never been published in Indonesia. This study aims to describe (Nulit) adolescents post-disaster areas. Content was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively. They involve nine panellists by calculating content validity index (CVI) multi-rater kappa statistics. Face involved ten living their mothers Palu duri...
