Visual Recognition uses machine learning and semantic classifiers to recognize visual entities such as environments, objects and events depending on the image properties such as color, texture and shape. This service is able to recognize a set of pre-trained classes based on the…
When converting the biometric input, the software identifies specific points of data as match points. The match points are processed using an algorithm into a value that can be compared with biometric data in the database. The biometric feature must have the following characteristics:-(a) Universality, which means that every person should have the characteristic,(b) Uniqueness, two persons should not have the same term or measurement of Characteristic.(c) Permanence, the characteristic should be invariant with time.(d) Measurability, the characteristic can be quantified that is the origin of the Cameras used in biometric systems are generally either CCD (charge couple device) or CMOS(combined metal oxide semiconductor) image sensors. CCD is comparatively more costly than…
In the video a girls grandfather found a face jug. The face jugs were made back around ww2. They were used as grave stones for slaves because they were not treated like other and didn't get a grave stone like we see today. Dave known as potter Dave was born into slavery around 1801. His first known owner was Harvey Drake a young man of Edgefield District, South Carolina. Dave was put to work in a factory while he was still in his teens and taught how to turn stoneware vessels, jugs, churns, and storage jars, all in great demand on plantations across South Carolina. At the same time that Dave was learning how to turn and burn stoneware, he was acquiring another, very different skill. He was learning how to read. We know that Dave knew how to…

The subject of face recognition is as old as computer vision and both because of the practical importance of the topic and theoretical interest from cognitive science. Face recognition is not the only method of recognising other people. Even humans between each other use senses in order to recognise others. Machines have a wider range for recognition purposes, which use thinks such as fingerprints, or iris scans. Despite the fact that these methods of identification can be more accurate, face recognition has always remains a major focus of research because of its non-invasive nature and because it is people's primary method of person identification.…
Is an average age-equivalent comparison acceptable when comparing a 19 year-old to a 14 year-old or 22 year-old? The answer to the opening question is the basis of this article response paper. Emily Maloney and Linda Larrivee discuss age-equivalent (AE) scores within their article titled, “Limitation of Age-Equivalent Scores in Reporting the Results of Nor-Referenced Test.” Speech-language pathologists (SPLs) should not use AE scores based on the list of limitations found in the author’s findings. They demonstrate their finding based on a study using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-III (Maloney & Larrivee, 2007).…
Prosopagnosia, also called face blindness, is a neuropsychological condition that refers to impairment in the recognition of faces. Although prosopagnosic patients suffer from other types of recognition impairments (place recognition, car recognition, facial expression of emotion, est.), they experience face recognition problems above or over other types impairments. Prosopagnosia occurs without intellectual, sensory or cognitive impairments; in other words, people with prosopagnosia can still recognize people from non-facial cues. They cannot recognize familiar people by their faces alone, and often use alternative routes to alleviate the effects of this impairment. These routes include using voice, gait, clothing, hairstyle, and other information rather than faces. Not surprisingly, prosopagnosia can be socially crippling. In absence of these non-facial cues failures of recognizing familiar faces reveal; in fact, patients are unable to recognize famous people, close friends, family members, and even their images in the mirror.…

According to law enforcement, there is important data supporting the idea that “ no two fingerprints are alike”, and biometrics serves as an accurate method to determine an individuals uniqueness. There are many unique advantages, while keys, smart cards, photo identifications cards can be lost, stolen, duplicated or left at home. Biometrics creates accurate, fast, user-friendly system based upon a distinguishable human trait. Whether the system facilitates accessing individuals by fingerprints, face, recognition, speak recognition, signature verification, iris, recognition, or hand and finger geometry it serves as an accurate authentication purpose.…
Five strategies for age-proofing include: challenging one’s mind, staying active, eating wisely, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. In attempts of avoiding Alzheimer’s and dementia one who continues to remain mentally active through puzzles, learning a language, or writing can lessen their risk and protect themselves against mental aging factors. The negatives of not maintaining mental active consist of losing sense of situations, and forgetfulness due to not challenging one’s brain. While staying physically active can keep one’s physical well-being intact as exercise can strengthen one’s body through aerobic and intensive exercise and this helps people avoid loss of functionality with aging, then the decision to eat healthy provides…
Scaling can be used to create a graphic representation of missing children faces taking into consideration development and maturity of the individual after several years. In the enotes.com article, “What is facial recognition technology and how does it work?” since the 1990’s facial recognition technology has been used to identify criminals and missing children. The technology uses a previous picture of an individual’s face. Measurements such as the person’s nose width, length of their forehead, and width of the lips are digitally stored and the data is used to identify a person; this process is known as geometrical recognition. An alternative process called photometric recognition, generates an outline of the facial features and uses the data for identifications. Data extracted from a picture can be scaled and be compared to other pictures in a database. The technology can be used to progress a child’s picture to an image the child would look like as he or she ages. For instance, if a child went missing at age five, this technology can use be used to…
Why do you think there is so much interest in reconstructing the faces of the dead?…
This paper is about why we should focus on diversity and aging in our society. There are unlimited reasons to why we should focus on these important topics, because as of this assignment, our country is currently struggling with the economy; the Baby Boomer generation, our largest cohort, is reaching Social Security age; the fight over healthcare, AKA The Affordable Care Act, including access for affordable Prescriptions for the elderly; stresses on elder care; grandparents raising grandchildren, heightened stress on the sandwich generation; immigration and finally people living longer, just to name a few. For this assignment, our group will be…
Social stratification is not a new phenomenon; its roots extends far back into antiquity with some contending that archaeological evidence reveals that social stratification existed in Cro-Magnon society 10,000 or more years ago (Tattersall 1998:178). Social stratification may be based on many attributes; according to Arredondo Biological differences can produce, directly or indirectly, social stratification by factors such as age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. Age stratification and ageism are very closely related; one cannot exist without the other. Age stratification separates people into three primary groups according to their age; the young, the old and the rest. Ageism is the process of systematic stereotyping or discrimination, takes over from there by being an enacted series of prejudices against a person or group based on their age, just as racism and sexism accomplish with skin colour and gender. Ageism allows the younger generations to see older people as different than themselves; thus they subtly cease to identify with their elders as human beings.” This essay will argue that age stratification and ageism permeate in the Australian workplace. Age stratification is a serious issue that women struggle to overcome throughout most of recorded history and around the world. As Alan Wolfe observed in the “The Gender Question” (The New Republic, June 6: 27-34), “of all the ways that one group has systematically mistreated another, none is more deeply rooted than the way men have subordinated women. All other discrimination pale by contrast. Gender inequality in the workplace is one of the biggest issues that have being overtly circulating through society for years and they are experienced in different types of welfare state such as, Economic independence, Balancing work and family balance a cross the life cycle and freedom from discrimination, harassment and violence. These three areas have been identified and found to be the key…
