Throughout the history of psychology, the study of perception has been marked by a conflict between analytic and holistic views. According to the analytic view, object recognition involves analysis of the visual input of stimulus features. A stimulus is recognized to the extent that it contains the appropriate features and these features are registered by the visual system. Early examples of th...

This article highlights some research in visual pattern perception that was published in the American Journal of Psychology in the 1960s. Although visual perception research has changed substantially since then, and the term visual pattern recognition is no longer in widespread use, the six articles presented here are some of the most influential of those published by the Journal in its long hi...

This thesis presents work concerning the analysis of behaviour specific facial motion and its automatic synthesis. Psychology research has shown that facial motion provides important cues to the human visual system for recognition of emotion, identity and gender. Similarly, in Computer Vision facial motion information has been used in face and facial expression recognition. However, the fact th...

The high-level recognition of human activity requires a priori hierarchical domain knowledge as well as a means of reasoning based on that knowledge. Based on insights from perceptual psychology, the problem of human action recognition is approached on the understanding that activities are hierarchical, temporally constrained and at times temporally overlapped. A hierarchical Bayesian network (...

Emotion recognition is a very hot topic, which is related with computer science, psychology, artificial intelligence, etc. It is always performed on facial or audio information with classical method such as ANN, fuzzy set, SVM, HMM, etc. Ensemble learning theory is a novelty in machine learning and ensemble method is proved an effective pattern recognition method. In this paper, a novel ensembl...
