Description
Major strides have been made in face processing in the last ten years due to the fast growing need for security in various locations around
the globe. A human eye can discern the details of a specific face with relative ease. It is this level of detail that researchers are
striving to create with ever evolving computer technologies that will become our perfect mechanical eyes. The difficulty that confronts
researchers stems from turning a 3D object into a 2D image. That subject is covered in depth from several different perspectives in this
volume.
This book begins with a comprehensive introductory chapter for those who are new to the field. A compendium of articles follows
that is divided into three sections. The first covers basic aspects of face processing from human to computer. The second deals with
face modeling from computational and physiological points of view. The third tackles the advanced methods, which include illumination,
pose, expression, and more. Editors Zhao and Chellappa have compiled a concise and necessary text for industrial research scientists,
students, and professionals working in the area of image and signal processing.
Audience:
Researchers, students and professors in signal/image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, computer graphics, psychology, and neuroscience
