TL;DR
An approach for extracting facial features from images and for determining the spatial organization between these features using the concept of a deformable template using a parameterized geometric model of the object to be recognized together with a measure of how well it fits the image data.
Abstract
We describe an approach for extracting facial features from images and for determining the spatial organization between these features using the concept of a deformable template. This is a parameterized geometric model of the object to be recognized together with a measure of how well it fits the image data. Variations in the parameters correspond to allowable deformations of the object and can be specified by a probabilistic model. After the extraction stage the parameters of the deformable template can be used for object description and recognition.

This paper proposes that each area of the cortex carries on its calculations with the active participation of a nucleus in the thalamus with which it is reciprocally and topographically connected, and plays the role of an ‘active blackboard’ on which the current best reconstruction of some aspect of the world is always displayed.

This work describes how a parallel analogue algorithm, derived from a formal model for the establishment of topographically ordered projections in the brain, can be applied to the travelling salesman problem, and produces shorter tour lengths than another recent parallel analogue algorithms.

The representation of a large class of translation-invariant nonlinear filters (including morphological, median, order-statistic, and shape recognition filters) as a minimal combination of morphological erosions or dilations are summarized to lead to a unified image algebra.
PerceptionThe Effect of Feature Displacement on Face Recognition
199 Citations1984Nigel D. Haig
An experiment is reported in which image processing equipment was used to displace slightly the features of a set of original facial images to form groups of modified images, showing the very high significance of the vertical positioning of the mouth, followed by eyes, and then the nose, as well as high sensitivity to close- set eyes, coupled with marked insensitivity to wide-set eyes.
