In this paper, we studied facial impression construction with smartphones in a series of experiments with two smartphone applications: SmartRing and SystemSens+. In the first experiment, impressions of faces associated with different music genres (trot vs. classical) were compared to impressions formed from a facial image alone along the social warmth and intelligence dimensions. In the second experiment, the effect of similarity attraction was investigated by manipulating the extroversion of facial images. Results indicated that impressions of faces cannot only be constructed along the social warmth and intelligence dimensions, but can also be made more or less attractive based on their similarity to the viewer's personality. Our experiments provide interesting insights into facial impressions formed in a smartphone environment.

Nowadays, many commercial CAD systems support history-based, constraint-based and feature-based modeling. Unfortunately, most systems fail during the re-evaluation phase when various kind of topological changes occur. This issue is known as "persistent naming" which refers to the problem of identifying entities in an initial parametric model and matching them in the re-evaluated model. Most works in this domain focus on the persistent naming of atomic entities such as vertices, edges or faces. But very few of them consider the persistent naming of aggregates like shells (any set of faces). We propose in this paper a complete framework for identifying and matching any kind of entities based on their underlying topology, and particularly shells. The identifying method is based on the invariant structure of each class of form features (a hierarchical structure of shells) and on its topological evolution (an historical structure of faces). The matching method compares the initial and the re-evaluated topological histories, and computes two measures of topological similarity between any couple of entities occurring in both models. The naming and matching method has been implemented and integrated in a prototype of commercial CAD Software (Topsolid).

We analyzed the relationships between facial impressions and physical features, and investigated the effects of impressions on facial similarity judgments. Using 79 faces extracted from a face database, we collected the ratings of impressions along four dimensions -mild-fierce, bright-dull, feminine-manly and youthful-mature- and the measures of 41 physical features. Multiple Regression Analyses showed that the ratings of impressions and the measures of features are closely connected with each other. Our experiments using facial similarity judgments confirmed the possibility that facial impressions are used in processing of facial information. We found that people tend to perceive faces as similar when they have the same impressions rather than neutral ones, although all of them are alike physically. These results imply that facial impressions are used as a psychological structure representing facial appearance, and that facial processing includes impression information.

This paper discusses the incompleteness of the SNOMED CT and proposes a noble metric which evaluates similarity among sibling nodes as a method to address this incompleteness. SNOMED CT encompasses an extensive range of medical terms, but it faces issues of ontology incompleteness, such as missing concepts in the hierarchy. We propose a noble metric for evaluating similarity among nodes within a node group, composed of multiple sibling nodes, to identify missing concepts, and identify groups with low similarity. Analyzing the similarity of sibling node groups in the March 2023 international release of SNOMED CT, the average similarity of 29,199 sibling node groups, which are sub-concepts of the clinical finding concept and are consist of two or more sibling nodes, was found to be 0.81. The group with the lowest similarity was associated with child concepts of poisoning, with a similarity of 0.0036.

In this paper we describe a face recognition using EBGM(Elastic Bunch Graph Matching) method. Usally, the PCA and LDA based face recognition method with the low-dimensional subspace representation use holistic image of faces, but this study uses local features such as a set of convolution coefficients for Gabor kernels of different orientations and frequencies at fiducial points including the eyes, nose and mouth. At pre-recognition step, all images are represented with same size face graphs and they are used to recognize a face comparing with each similarity for all images. The proposed algorithm has less computation time due to simplified face graph than conventional EBGM method and the fuzzy matching method for calculating the similarity of face graphs renders more face recognition results.

For many years, researchers in face description area have been representing and recognizing faces based on different methods that include subspace discriminant analysis, statistical learning and non-statistics based approach etc. But still automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging problem. This paper presents a novel and efficient face image representation method based on Optimized Local Ternary Pattern (OLTP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the OLTP texture feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into a feature vector that can act as face descriptor. The recognition is performed using nearest neighbor classification method with Chi-square distance as a similarity measure. Extensive experimental results on Yale B, ORL and AR face databases show that OLTP consistently performs much better than other well recognized texture models for face recognition.

This paper presents a hybrid method for recognizing the faces by using zero mean and principal component analysis. Zero mean is applied to reduce the 1st order statistics to data nonlinearities. PCA is also used to derive an orthonormal basis which directly leads to dimensionality reduction, and possibly to feature extraction of face image. The proposed method has been applied to the problems for recognizing the 20 face images(10 persons * 2 scenes) of 324*243 pixels from Yale face database. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate). The negative angle has been relatively achieved more an accurate similarity than city-block or Euclidean.

We propose an efficient face recognition system for controllinng the access to the restricted zone using both the face region detectors based on facial symmetry and the extended self-organizing maps (ESOM) which have sensory synapses and descriptive synapses. Based on the visual cues of the facial symmetry, we apply horizontal and vertical projections on elliptic regions detected by GHT(generalized hough transform) to identify all the face regions from the complex background.And we propose an ESOM which can exploit principal components and imitate an elastic similarity matching, to authenticate faces of the enlisted member. In order to cope with changes of facial experession or glasses wearing, etc, the facial descriptions of each member at the time of authentication are simultaneously updated on the discriptive synapses online using the incremental learning of the proposed ESOM. Experimental results prove the feasibility of our approach.

This paper presents a hybrid method for recognizing the faces by using principal component analysis(PCA) and fixed-point independent component analysis(FP-ICA). PCA is used to whiten the data, which reduces the effects of second-order statistics to the nonlinearities. FP-ICA is applied to extract the statistically independent features of face image. The proposed method has been applied to the problems for recognizing the 20 face images(10 persons * 2 scenes) of 324*243 pixels from Yale face database. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate). The negative angle has been relatively achieved more an accurate similarity than city-block or Euclidean.
