When comparing images of faces in criminal investigations, forensic facial examiners report key features such as moles to be particularly diagnostic identity. However, scientific evidence for the efficacy identification is still limited. The current study systematically examined effect on image comparison by manipulating presence and location these small features. We found that observers untrai...

We propose an efective facial features detection method for human–robot interaction (HRI) with indoor mobile robot. In case of human-robot interaction at mobile robot, its vision system has to cope with dificult problems such as pose variations, illumination changes, and complex backgrounds, which problems mainly arise from the movement of mobile robot. In this paper, in order to overcome such ...

Accurately and robustly tracking facial features must cope with the large variation in appearance across subjects and the combination of rigid and non-rigid motion. We present a work toward a robust system to detect and track facial features including both permanent (e.g. mouth, eye, and brow) and transient (e.g. furrows and wrinkles) facial features in a nearly frontal image sequence. Multi-st...

Muscle based face image synthesis is one of the most realistic approach to realize life-like agent in computer. Facial muscle model is composed of facial tissue elements and muscles. In this model, forces are calculated effecting facial tissue element by contraction of each muscle strength, so the combination of each muscle parameter decide a specific facial expression. Now each muscle paramete...

the problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. in this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. first, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . at last, the eye ce...

In order to achieve more local facial feature, a kind of sub image face recognition method based on RS-Sp CCA feature information fusion is proposed in this paper. According to take samples for the local facial feature of sub image and use CCA to fuse the global facial feature and the local facial feature information after sampling, the global feature of image can be fully used to construct muc...

This paper proposes a new glasses removal method from color frontal facial image to generate gray glassless facial image. The proposed method is based on recursive PCA reconstruction. For the generation of glassless images, the occluded region by glasses should be found, and a good reconstructed image to compensate with should be obtained. The recursive PCA reconstruction provides us with both ...
