averaging faces

by Emma Mullings

Hi there, I have been using psychomorph to average 3 faces at a time. The images are really impressive, however the neck is a bit problematic. I've attached an image as an example (left side of face just under the jawline). I was wondering if you had any advice to how I could rectify this? I was also wondering if it was possible to add more delineation points to an image? Best wishes Emma Dr. Emma Mullings | Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, G700, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT | 0161 275 7432 | 07970 103411 | emma.mullings(a)manchester.ac.uk<mailto:emma.mullings@manchester.ac.uk> Visit our website to find out more about the PERS study http://www.inflammation-repair.manchester.ac.uk/PERS [PERS QR code]

Dear Colleagues Please see below for an Research Assistant position that we are currently advertising at the University of Manchester. Please circulate to your department, or anyone you think might be interested. See http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ALR798/mhs-06883-research-assistant/ Closing date : 22/08/2015 Reference : M&HS-06883 Faculty / Organisational unit : Medical & Human Sciences School / Directorate : School of Psychological Sciences Employment type : Fixed Term Duration : Until 31 August 2017 Location : Oxford Road, Manchester Salary : £25,513 to £27,057 per annum Hours per week : Full time Applications are invited for a 24 month full-time Research Assistant to support a Leverhulme Trust grant ‘investigating the role of movement in the recognition of facial composites’, awarded to Dr Karen Lander, Dr Charlie Frowd and Professor Tim Cootes. In this project we build on existing bodies of research regarding moving faces and composite creation, and investigate the role of motion in the recognition of identity from composites. In a criminal investigation, facial composites are images constructed by witnesses and victims of people they have seen to commit crime. This project will aid the theoretical understanding of the moving face advantage and investigate the interaction, and the relative importance, of static and dynamic information available from the face. Research on this issue may also aid the development of useful composite Your role will be to be set up, run and analyse the experiments involved in the project. You will have a degree in psychology, neuroscience or a related discipline, with a strong interest in studying experimental psychology and, more specifically, face perception and recognition. Experience in scientific research and running experiments, particularly with human volunteers, is important. Good communication and team working skills are essential and familiarity with experimental presentation, statistical software packages (e.g. SPSS) and composite creation systems (e.g. Evo-FIT, PRO-fit) would be useful. Ideally you will also have experience of image manipulation and creation techniques, including running command line tools to manipulate data. Closing date is 22nd August 2015 Many thanks Karen Lander Senior Lecturer University of Manchester

Extended Deadline: INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015: The First International Workshop on Modeling Interpersonal Synchrony

by zakia hammal

************************************************ CFP - Apologies for multiple copies ************************************************ ******** EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 2nd, 2015! ******** The First International Workshop on Modeling INTERPERsonal SynchrONy - INTERPERSONAL@ICMI2015 (http://interpersonalicmi2015.isir.upmc.fr) @the17th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2015) (http://icmi.acm.org/2015/) _______ SCOPE _______ Understanding human behavior through computer vision and signal processing has become of major interest with the emergence of social signal processing and affective computing andtheir applications to human-computer interaction. With few exceptions, research has focusedon detection of individual persons, their nonverbal behavior in the context of emotion and related psychosocial constructs. With advances in methodology, there is increasing interest inadvancing beyond the individual to social interaction of multiple individuals. This level of analysis brings to the fore detection and understanding of interpersonal influence and interpersonal synchrony in social interaction. Interpersonal synchrony in social interaction between interactive partners is the dynamic andreciprocal adaptation of their verbal and nonverbal behaviors. It affords both a novel domain for computer vision and machine learning, as well as a novel context with which to examine individual variation in cognitive, physiological, and neural processes in the interacting members. Interdisciplinary approaches to interpersonal synchrony are encouraged. Investigating these complex phenomena has both theoretical and practical applications. The proposed workshop will explore the challenges of modeling, recognition, and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. It will address theory, computational models, and algorithms for the automatic analysis and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. We wish to explore both influence and interpersonal synchrony in human-human and human-machine interaction in dyadic and multi-person scenarios. Expected topics include definition of different categories of interpersonal synchrony and influence, multimodal corpora annotation of interpersonal influence, dynamics of relevant behavioral patterns, and synthesis and recognition of verbal and nonverbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony and influence.The INTERPERSONAL workshop will afford opportunity for discussing new applications such as clinical assessment, consumer behavior analysis, and design of socially aware interfaces. The INTERPERSONAL workshop will identify and promote research challenges relevant to this exciting topic of synchrony. ______________ LIST OF TOPICS ______________ We encourage papers and demos addressing, but not limited to, the following research topics: - Theoretical approaches to interpersonal synchrony in human/human and human/machine interaction - Analysis and detection of non-verbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Models taking into account the relatioship between influence and synchrony - Analysis and detection of physiological signals - Modeling interpersonal synchrony in dyadic and in multi-party social interaction - Psychological correlates of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Analysis and detection of functional roles, persuasion, trust, dominance and so on - Recording and annotation of corpora that vary in degree of experimental control - Qualitative and quantitative evaluation - Design of social agents and dialog systems. _________________________ SUBMISSIONS AND REVISIONS _________________________ Long paper: 8 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted long papers will be presented as long talk or a poster. Short paper: 4 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted short papers will be presented as either a short talk or a poster. Submissions should include: title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), tel/fax number(s), and postal address(es). The papers have to be submitted at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=interpersonalicmi201 All the contributions will be subject to a peer-review by at least three reviewers from the Program Committee.
