ABSTRACT
Sketching a human face is a task which involves spatial decisions and a knowledge of the aspects of the face that are important in recognition. These are talents which non-artists lack.This paper describes WHATSISFACE, a system with which a non-artist can create, on a graphic display, any male Caucasian facial image resembling the face on a photograph in front of him. The computer system contains prestored facial features, an average face used as a starting point, and a heuristic strategy which guides the user through a carefully constructed sequence of questions, choices, and feature manipulations. The user makes all of the visual decisions and can change the individual features or hierarchically organized sets of features using analog input devices.Several specialized graphics algorithms were developed for this work and are described.

Collaborative expression representation using peak expression and intra class variation face images for practical subject-independent emotion recognition in videos
This paper proposes a facial expression recognition (FER) method in videos. The proposed method automatically selects the peak expression face from a video sequence using closeness of the face to the neutral expression. The severely non-frontal faces ...
Face recognition under varying illumination using gradientfaces
In this correspondence, we propose a novel method to extract illumination insensitive features for face recognition under varying lighting called the Gradientfaces. Theoretical analysis shows Gradientfaces is an illumination insensitive measure, and ...
Open-set face recognition across look-alike faces in real-world scenarios
The open-set problem is among the problems that have significantly changed the performance of face recognition algorithms in real-world scenarios. Open-set operates under the supposition that not all the probes have a pair in the gallery. Most face ...
