A generative adversarial network-based accurate masked face recognition model using dual scale adaptive efficient attention network.

Scientific reports
Masked identification of faces is necessary for authentication purposes. Face masks are frequently utilized in a wide range of professions and sectors including public safety, health care, schooling, catering services, production, sales, and shipping...

Neural correlates of the uncanny valley effect for robots and hyper-realistic masks.

PloS one
Viewing artificial objects and images that are designed to appear human can elicit a sense of unease, referred to as the 'uncanny valley' effect. Here we investigate neural correlates of the uncanny valley, using still images of androids (robots desi...

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus disease 2019 occurred unexpectedly in late December 2019, it was difficult to immediately develop an effective vaccine or propose targeted medical interventions in the early stages of the outbreak. At this point, non-pharmac...

Identification of micro- and nanoplastics released from medical masks using hyperspectral imaging and deep learning.

The Analyst
Apart from other severe consequences, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted a surge in personal protective equipment usage, some of which, such as medical masks, have a short effective protection time. Their misdisposition and subsequent natural degrad...

Biodegradable Smart Face Masks for Machine Learning-Assisted Chronic Respiratory Disease Diagnosis.

ACS sensors
Utilizing smart face masks to monitor and analyze respiratory signals is a convenient and effective method to give an early warning for chronic respiratory diseases. In this work, a smart face mask is proposed with an air-permeable and biodegradable ...
