We created a 'face space' using a laser-scan representation of faces. In this space, a caricature can be made by moving a face away from the average face, along the line connecting the particular face to the average face. Here, we move the face along this line in the other direction, proceeding through the mean and 'out the other side'. This results in a face that is 'opposite', in a computatio...

Face image matching is an essential step for face recognition and face verification. It is difficult to achieve robust face matching under various image acquisition conditions. In this paper, a novel face image matching algorithm robust against illumination variations is proposed. The proposed image matching algorithm is motivated by the characteristics of high image gradient along the face con...

background:     purpose:     methods:     results     conclusion     rug interactions , active training : drug interactions are common medical errors in gorgan province and training can decrease their rate. keywords. d   : overall prevalence of drug interactions was 8.93%, of which 6.55% were major, 65.58% moderate and 27.87% minor. interactions were mostly seen among male doctors. the physicia...

We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students). This suggests that human preferences arise from general properties of nervous systems, rather than from face-specific adaptations. We discuss this...

nowadays the surface texturing has been widely recognized as a usable capability to improve the tribological systems. in this paper, ultrasonic assisted turning (uat) isperformed to create the micro textures on the flat faces. micro surface texturing ismade on the al7075-t6 by the uat in the face turning process. then, the influences of cutting speed feed, vibration direction and vibration ampl...

When a face is flashed to an observer, a large negative component is elicited in the occipitotemporal cortex at ∼170 ms from the onset of presentation (N170). Previous studies have shown that the average N170 is correlated with conscious face perception; however, the single-trial mechanisms underlying such modulation remain largely unexplored. Here, we studied in human subjects the average and ...

PURPOSE This article describes construction of the average face and its application in the clinical environment. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 72 children, mean age 11.8 years, were selected for the study. Laser-scanned images of the subjects were obtained under a reproducible and controlled environment with 2 Minolta Vivid 900 (Minolta, Osaka, Japan) optical laser-scanning devices assemble...

Face identity aftereffects have been used to test theories of the neural coding underlying expert face recognition. Previous studies reported larger aftereffects for adaptors that are morphed further from the average face than for adaptors closer to the average, which appeared to support opponent coding along face-identity dimensions. However, only two levels were tested and it is not clear whe...

We examined how recent biased face experience affects the influence of averageness on judgments of facial attractiveness among 8- and 9-year-old children attending a girls' school, a boys' school, and a mixed-sex school. We presented pairs of individual faces in which one face was transformed 50% toward its group average, whereas the other face was transformed 50% away from that average. Across...

Parsing with a large systemic grammar brings one face-to-face with the problem of unification with disjunctive descriptions. This paper outlines some techniques which we employed in a systemic parser to reduce the average-case complexity of such unification.
