OBJECTIVES To determine the average facial proportions of the African American man and compare results with the neoclassical canons of facial proportions and the standard for the North American white man. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. METHODS Photographs and anthropometric measurements of the face were taken of 109 men of African American descent aged between 18 and 30 years, and results w...

Face recognition has received much attention in recent years due to its many applications such as human computer interface, video surveillance and face image database management. It is a challenging technique due to under different lighting conditions, facial expressions and changes in head pose. Single class of feature is not enough to capture all the available information in face. Multi algor...

The amygdala is thought to perform a number of social functions, and has received much attention for its role in processing social properties of faces. In particular, it has been shown to respond more to facial expressions than to neutral faces, and more to positively valenced and negatively valenced faces than faces in the middle of the continuum. However, when these findings are viewed in the...

Facial attractiveness is a long-standing topic of active study in both neuroscience and social science, motivated by its positive social consequences. Over the past few decades, it has been established that averageness is a major factor influencing judgments of facial attractiveness in humans. Non-human primates share similar social behaviors as well as neural mechanisms related to face process...

Average-half-face experiments the overall accuracy of the system is better than using the original full face image. Clearly experiment shows that half face data produces higher recognition accuracy [5]. The average-half-face contain the data exactly half of the full face and thus results in storage and computational time saving. The information stored in average-half-face may be more discrimina...
