in this paper, we present image based face sketch generation approach. The face image is represented as face caricature, portrait, face composite or face sketch etc. Face sketch is the simplest form of representing facial image with the help of small line segment drawings. There are several commercial application of a face image such as face recognition, detection, authentication and suspects i...

Several sequential matching composite face paradigms are used to assess “holistic processing” of faces. In the Selective Attention paradigm, participants decide whether one face part (e.g., top) is the same as a previously seen face part. This judgment is affected by whether the irrelevant part is also the same or different. This failure of selective attention implies holistic processing. Howev...

Face recall is a basic human cognitive process performed routinely, e.g., when meeting someone and determining if we have met that person before. Assisting a subject during face recall by suggesting candidate faces can be challenging. One of the reasons is that the search space—the face space—is quite large and lacks structure. A commercial application of face recall is facial composite systems...

Most face recognition systems focus on photo-based (or video) face recognition, but there are many lawenforcement applications where a police sketch artist composes a face sketch of the criminal and that is used by the officers to look for the criminal. Currently state-of-the-art research approach transforms all test face images into sketches then perform recognition in the sketch domain using ...

In the face literature, it is debated whether the identification of facial expressions requires holistic (i.e., whole face) or analytic (i.e., parts-based) information. In this study, happy and angry composite expressions were created in which the top and bottom face halves formed either an incongruent (e.g., angry top + happy bottom) or congruent composite expression (e.g., happy top + happy b...
