objectives: mothers’ perception of their ability to parenting (maternal parenting self-efficacy) is a critical issue that influences their interactions with their preterm neonates. for better support of these mothers, a robust tool is needed which can measure mothers’ perception of their ability to understand and care for their preterm neonates as well as being sensitive to the various levels a...

Faster RCNN has achieved great success for generic object detection including PASCAL object detection and MS COCO object detection. In this report, we propose a detailed designed Faster RCNN method named FDNet1.0 for face detection. Several techniques were employed including multi-scale training, multi-scale testing, light-designed RCNN, some tricks for inference and a vote-based ensemble metho...

Tliis paper presents the method to determine the order of feature (attention) points for face detection. The order of feature points is determined in terms of the classification ability to face and non-face images (cross validation). The matching is performed in the order of the selected feature points. It is confirmed that high rec:ognition rate is obtained by using only a small number of feat...

Emotional facial expressions play a critical role in theories of emotion and figure prominently in research on almost every aspect of emotion. This article provides a background for a new database of basic emotional expressions. The goal in creating this set was to provide high quality photographs of genuine facial expressions. Thus, after proper training, participants were inclined to express ...

Using a face validity approach, this paper provides validation of the Database Forensic Investigation Metamodel (DBFIM). The DBFIM was developed to solve interoperability, heterogeneity, complexity, and ambiguity in database forensic investigation (DBFI) field, where several models were identified, collected, reviewed develop DBFIM. However, lacked validity-based approach that could ensure DBFI...

Face validation is an informal type of validation, usually applied in the early stages a simulation project or model development process. used to determine reasonableness when advanced methods such as statistical analysis sensitivity are not applicable. In large-scale projects warfare applications, which consist large number and variety models that cannot be evaluated independently contain high...

Rapid development of 3D scanning technologies lead researchers to use them for people recognition, cameras are faster, models are less noisy and with higher resolution. 3D facial models have been widely used for many biometrics applications. Nevertheless 3D face recognition topics mainly assume that scans contain a face and the face is mostly in a frontal position. In real world we might have a...
