Facial attractiveness has long been a topic of interest for cognitive scientists. Early psychological research has found that averageness, distinctiveness and familiarity of a face can influence facial attractiveness. However, faces also convey rich social information. How various social features are related to facial attractiveness hasn’t been systematically studied before. We investigate faci...

Facial expression is one of the primary communication means of the human. However, realistic facial expression images are not used in popular communication tools on portable devices because of the difficulties in: 1) Acquisition; 2) Transference; 3) Display. In this paper, we propose a system tackling these problems to synthesize facial expression images from photographs for the devices with li...

Due to the complex challenges of environment and emotion expressions, most facial expression recognition systems cannot achieve a high rate. More discriminative features can describe expressions more accurately, so feature extraction is key technology for recognition. In this article, an effective end-to-end deep model proposed improve accuracy face Considering importance data pre-processing (v...

In this paper, we present a method for fully automatic facial expression recognition in facial image sequences using feature extracted from tracking of facial landmarks. The facial landmarks at the first frame of the image sequence under examination are initialized using elastic bunch graph matching (EBGM) algorithm and tracked in the consecutive video frame over time. At first, the most discri...

a r t i c l e i n f o Facial expression is central to human experience. Its efficiency and valid measurement are challenges that automated facial image analysis seeks to address. Most publically available databases are limited to 2D static images or video of posed facial behavior. Because posed and un-posed (aka " spontaneous ") facial expressions differ along several dimensions including compl...

The fossil ATD6-69 from Atapuerca, Spain, dated to ca. 900 ka (thousands of years ago) has been suggested to mark the earliest appearance of modern human facial features. However, this specimen is a subadult and the interpretation of its morphology remains controversial, because it is unclear how developmental shape changes would affect the features that link ATD6-69 to modern humans. Here we a...

The human amygdala is reliably activated by facial expressions [1], but the precise functional relevance of such activity change is not well understood, because most previous studies did not allow for separating effects of the emotional expression from the distribution of specific facial features and neglected corresponding attentional processes. Findings on rare patients with bilateral amygdal...

Injectable fillers are widely used for facial rejuvenation, correction of disabling volumetric fat loss in HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy, Romberg disease, and post-traumatic facial disfiguring. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the reader with the anatomy of facial fat compartments, as well as with the properties and key imaging features of commonly used facial fillers, filler-rela...
