This process results in an excess of skin that tends to create folds, grooves, and deepening furrows. Contour augmentation and filling depressions with autologous tissue or heterogeneous materials are widely used in face rejuvenation as an ...

Facial Masculinity Increases Perceptions of Men's Age, But Not Perceptions of Their Health: Data From an Arab Sample
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-06)Masculine characteristics in men's faces are often assumed to function as health cues. However, evidence for this assumption from empirical tests is mixed. For example, research on Western women's face perceptions found that masculinized versions of men's faces were perceived to be older, but not healthier, than feminized versions. Since research on this topic has focused on Western women's face perceptions, we investigated the effects of masculinizing face images on Arab women's perceptions of ...

Fast Immune System Inspired Hypermutation Operators for Combinatorial Optimisation
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021)Various studies have shown that immune system inspired hypermutation operators can allow artificial immune systems (AIS) to be very efficient at escaping local optima of multimodal optimisation problems. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of considerably slower runtimes during the exploitation phase compared to standard evolutionary algorithms. We propose modifications to the traditional ‘hypermutations with mutation potential’ (HMP) that allow them to be efficient at exploitation as ...

Fast multi-view face trackingwith pose estimation
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2008)In this paper a fast and an effective multi-view face tracking algorithm with head pose estimation is introduced. For modeling the face pose we employ a tree of boosted classifiers built using either Haar-like filters or Gauss filters. A first classifier extracts faces of any pose from the background. Then more specific classifiers discriminate between different poses. The tree of classifiers is trained by hierarchically sub-sampling the pose space. Finally Condensation algorithm is used for ...
