This paper presents a theory and practical computations for visual age classification from facial images. Currently, the theory has only been implemented to classify input images into one of three agegroups: babies, young adults, and senior adults. The computations are based on cranio-facial development theory and skin wrinkle analysis. In the implementation, primary features of the face are fo...

New geologic mapping reveals that Artemis, a unique 2400-km-diameter feature on Venus, is much larger than previously recognized, including a wide outer trough (>5000 km diameter), a radial dike swarm (12,000 km diameter), and a concentric wrinkle ridge suite (13,000 km diameter). Artemis’s evolution included formation of its interior and chasma, accompanied by lateral propagation of radial dik...

The wealth of data from recent missions to Mars, including images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) provides new insights into all aspects of Martian geology. High-resolution MOC and THEMIS images at Solis Planum reveal unprecedented detail of wrinkle ridge structures. In addition to confirming previous interpretations and revealing new structural c...

PURPOSE To evaluate the wrinkle-reducing effects of 4-MHz radiofrequency (RF) energy applied to human periorbital, frontal, and midface facial skin using clinical wrinkle grading, patient self-satisfaction survey, and limited histologic studies. METHODS Thirty-two patients, ranging from 29 to 71 years of age with skin types varying from class I to class III using the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Class...

The complex morphologies observed in many biofilms play a critical role in the survival of these microbial communities. Recently, the formation of wrinkles has been the focus of many studies aimed at finding fundamental information on morphogenesis during development. While the underlying genetic mechanisms of wrinkling are not well-understood, recent discoveries have led to the counterintuitiv...

Skin aging is a multisystem degenerative process caused by several factors, such as, UV irradiation, stress, and smoke. Furthermore, wrinkle formation is a striking feature of photoaging and is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In the present study, we investigated whether caffeic acid, S-allyl cysteine, and uracil, which were isolated from garlic, modulate UVB-induced...

Ironing is one of troublesome houseworks, in which the goal of the task is to remove wrinkles caused during washing. A projector has advantages in physical world instruction over an instruction sheet, a Head Mounted Display, or a smartphone/tablet PC because of direct mapping of instructive information on the target object. In this article, we propose a method to detect wrinkles using machine-l...

In computer graphics, one of the important factors for rendering realistic human bodies is quality of skin. To improve this, it is necessary to represent small wrinkles on skin surfaces, which are locally oriented to certain directions. However, no method is developed to generate wrinkles over body parts like hands or arms, taking into account local directions. Thus, this paper proposes a metho...

Currently, alternatives to prebiotics for skin treatment are receiving much interest. However, little is known about the efficacy of topically applied prebiotics in skin anti-aging. This study was conducted to observe the anti-aging effects of DuOligo, which is composed of lactulose and galactooligosaccharides (GOS). We investigated wrinkle-related parameters by quantitative and qualitative ski...

BACKGROUND In phytotherapy, the therapeutic potential is based on the combined action of different herbal drugs. Our objective was to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-collagenase (in vitro), and anti-wrinkle (in vivo) effect of combined formulation containing Ginkgo biloba, Punica granatum, Ficus carica, and Morus alba fruits extract. METHODS Antioxidant evaluation was based on the scavenging a...
