This book is the first academic study of this collapse, uncovering some surprising evidence on the power and politics of large financial institutions. It details the processes and...

La reconnaissance des expressions faciales et l'estimation de l'âge sont des questions très importantes dans le domaine de la vision par ordinateur ou de l'interaction homme-machine depuis plusieurs années.

L'expression ne donne pas seulement des informations sur l'humeur d'une personne, mais elle est également utile dans différentes applications. Il s'agit donc d'étudier un système d'estimation automatique de l'expression et de l'âge qui prend en compte l'image du visage humain et la classe dans...

Die Erkennung von Gesichtsausdrücken und die Altersschätzung ist ein sehr wichtiges Thema im Bereich der Computer Vision oder HCI, d.h. Human Computer Interaction der letzten Jahre. Der Gesichtsausdruck ist die stärkste Art und Weise, Emotionen beim Menschen darzustellen.
