Obtaining a high-quality frontal face image from a low-resolution (LR) non-frontal face image is primarily important for many facial analysis applications. However, mainstreams either focus on super-resolving near-frontal LR faces or frontalizing non...

Age estimation from facial images is typically cast as a label distribution learning or regression problem, since aging is a gradual progress. Its main challenge is the facial feature space w.r.t. ages is inhomogeneous, due to the large variation in ...

Obtaining a valid facial expression recognition (FER) method is still a research hotspot in the artificial intelligence field. In this paper, we propose a multiparameter fusion feature space and decision voting-based classification for facial express...
BACKGROUND: High-resolution medical images that include facial regions can be used to recognize the subject's face when reconstructing 3-dimensional (3D)-rendered images from 2-dimensional (2D) sequential images, which might constitute a risk of infr...
Stacking-based deep neural network (S-DNN) is aggregated with pluralities of basic learning modules, one after another, to synthesize a deep neural network (DNN) alternative for pattern classification. Contrary to the DNNs trained from end to end by ...
Three-dimensional facial images are becoming more and more widespread. As such images provide more information about facial morphology than 2D imagery, they show great promise for use in future forensic applications, including age estimation and veri...
Cephalometric analysis is a fundamental examination which is widely used in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Its key step is to detect the anatomical landmarks in lateral cephalograms, which is time-consuming in traditional manual way. T...

Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs)-based facial landmark detection methods have achieved great success. However, most of existing CNN-based facial landmark detection methods have not attempted to activate multiple correlated facial parts ...
IMPORTANCE: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most common primary adrenal insufficiency in children, involving excess androgens secondary to disrupted steroidogenesis as early as the seventh gestational week of life. Although structural bra...
