This investigation into the legal, political, and moral issues surrounding how the police and justice system use surveillance technology asks the question: what are citizens of a free country willing to tolerate in the name of public safety?
As we rethink the scope of police power, Jon Fasman’s chilling examination...
Sunlight and gravity cause facial aging. Lasers enable safe and predictable resurfacing to smooth facial wrinkles as well as surgery to remove aging tissue from eyelids while minimizing bruising. Lasers can also eliminate excess blood vessels and unwanted hair, and erase tattoos without...
Since research on face recognition began in the 1960's, the field has rapidly widened to automated face analysis including face detection, facial gesture recognition, and facial expression recognition.
Automated Face Analysis: Emerging Technologies and Research provides theoretical background to understand the overall...
One could say that motion capture technology hasn’t evolved
much in the past twenty years. It still relies mostly on cameras,
electromagnetics, or mechanics. Of course, the components
are much better and we are now able to obtain superior
measurements. Data that took weeks to process in the early days
can now be...
Introduction – Facial Analysis: What, Why, When, and How What is Clinical Facial Analysis 2 How Do You Train and Develop the Skill for Clinical Facial Analysis 2 The Spiral of Analysis 2 Searching for a Flexible Method of Clinical Facial Analysis 3 Do Not Apply a Method of Analysis in a Linear Way 3 The Four Main Components Involved in...
Do you want to learn how to make your game characters look and move more realistically? Character Animation with Direct3D shows you how to apply fundamental character animation techniques to Direct3D technology to bring your characters to life. Beginning with a brief history of character animation, you?ll be introduced to the most common...
If we were to say Marilyn to you, what would you be thinking? Monroe? Manson?
Well, you would be thinking about the most inspired use of facial imagery. Anybody in advertising will tell you that the most effective sales tool around is the face. A face can sell you anything. Any product, any idea. And the most striking faces...
Rapid evolution of technical advances in infrared sensor technology, image processing, “smart” algorithms, databases, and system integration paves the way for new methods of research and use in medical infrared imaging. These breakthroughs permit easy-to-use, high-sensitivity imaging that can address key issues of diagnostic...
Most biometric systems employed for human recognition require physical contact with, or close proximity to, a cooperative subject. Far more challenging is the ability to reliably recognize individuals at a distance, when viewed from an arbitrary angle under real-world environmental conditions. Gait and face data are the two biometrics that...
This book is about computer facial models, computer-generated facial images, and facial animation. In particular, it addresses the principles of creating face models and the manipulation or control of computer-generated facial attributes. In addition, various sections in the book describe and explain the development of specific computer...
In this book you will learn a language which everybody knows
already. This is the language of the body. Every time we talk to
someone else the body supplements what we say with dozens of
small gestures, eye movements, changes in posture and facial
expression. The fact that everybody knows this language already
will not...
The book presents research work on face recognition using edge information as features for face recognition with ICA algorithms. The independent components are extracted from edge information. These independent components are used with classifiers to match the facial images for recognition purpose. In their study, authors have explored Canny...
