This paper argues that existing models of urban concentrations are incomplete unless grounded in the most fundamental aspect of proximity; face-to-face contact. Face-to-face contact has four main features; it is an efficient communication technology; it can help solve incentive problems; it can facilitate socialization and learning; and it provides psychological motivation. We discuss each of t...

a female one month old with features supporting a diagnosis of neonatal progeroid syndrome(wrs)  presented to our neonatology section of gb pant children hospital srinagar .she had prenatal and post natal growth failure, generalized lipotrophy, triangular face, psedohydrocephalous, sparse scalp hair and eye brows, prominent scalp veins and greatly widened anterior fontenella.

In this paper, a real time face recognition for color image sequences is presented. The proposed algorithm applies three stages: a head region is estimated by the DCFR(Detection of Candidate for Face Regions) scheme in the first stage, the face region is searched inside the head region using the MCC(major color component) in the second stage and its faceness is tested by the TRFF (Topological R...

Facial features’ localization is a crucial step for many systems of face detection and facial expression recognition. It plays an essential role in human face analysis especially in searching for facial features (mouth, nose and eyes) when the face region is included within the image. The fundamental technique used in facial analysis is to detect the face and subsequently the associated salient...

Despite extensive research on face perception, few studies have investigated individuals' knowledge about the physical features of their own face. In this study, 50 participants indicated the location of key features of their own face, relative to an anchor point corresponding to the tip of the nose, and the results were compared to the true location of the same individual's features from a sta...

Previous research has suggested that human performance on the task of matching previously unseen faces is often poor and varies widely from person to person. The external face features can strongly influence unfamiliar face matching but are potentially unreliable cues, and attention to internal face features may facilitate matching performance. Forty-three first year psychology students perform...

In this paper, we propose four techniques for extraction of facial features namely 2DPCA, LDA, KPCA and KFA. The purpose of face feature extraction is to capture certain discriminative features that are unique for a person. In the previous works that uses PCA for face feature extraction involves merging the features and reducing the dimensions that results in some information loss. To overcome ...

In this paper, we present a neural-network learning scheme for face reconstruction. This scheme, which we called as Smooth Projected Polygon Representation Neural Network (SPPRNN), is able to successively refine the polygon’s vertices parameter of an initial 3D shape based on depth-maps of several calibrated images taken from multiple views. The depth-maps, which are obtained by deploying Tsai-...

facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. in recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. as machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...
