The face-space framework is a psychological model that explains how (adult) humans process and store facial information, which we use for facial recognition. It is multidimensional, with each dimension categorised by certain facial features, some of which may be: face shape, hair colour and length, distance between the eyes, age and masculinity.
Bruce & Young Model of Face Recognition, 1986. One of the most widely accepted theories of face perception argues that understanding faces involves several stages: [7] from basic perceptual manipulations on the sensory information to derive details about the person (such as age, gender or attractiveness), to being able to recall meaningful details such as their name and any relevant past ...
Prosopamnesia (Greek: προσωπον = "face", αμνησια = forgetfulness) is a selective neurological impairment in the ability to learn new faces. There is a special neural circuit for the processing of faces as opposed to other non-face objects.
An interesting area of study related to recognition memory deals with how memories are initially learned or encoded in the brain. This encoding process is an important aspect of recognition memory because it determines not only whether or not a previously introduced item is recognized, but how that item is retrieved through memory. Depending on ...
Such classifiers can be used for face recognition or texture analysis. A useful extension to the original operator is the so-called uniform pattern, [8] which can be used to reduce the length of the feature vector and implement a simple rotation invariant descriptor. This idea is motivated by the fact that some binary patterns occur more ...
Although the accuracy of facial recognition systems as a biometric technology is lower than iris recognition, fingerprint image acquisition, palm recognition or voice recognition, it is widely adopted due to its contactless process. [3] Facial recognition systems have been deployed in advanced human–computer interaction, video surveillance ...
Conversely, deep processing (e.g., semantic processing) results in a more durable memory trace. [1] There are three levels of processing in this model. Structural processing, or visual, is when we remember only the physical quality of the word (e.g. how the word is spelled and how letters look).
Eugene Winograd (1981) of Emory University conducted a study to find a correlation between elaborative encoding and the memory of faces. [15] Winograd's theory was that it was easier to remember a person's face based on perceived judgment of honesty, friendliness, or intelligence rather than physical traits like a big nose or bushy eyebrows.
