A series of experiments on two different coals at a range of burner conditions have been conducted to investigate the behaviour of pf coal combustion on a 150kW pulverised fuel (pf) coal burner with a simulated eyebrow (a growth of slag in the near burner region). The simulation of a burner eyebrow was achieved by inserting an annulus of refractory material immediately in front of the face of the original burner quarl. Results obtained from monitoring the infrared (IR) radiation and sound emitted by the flame were processed into a number of features which were then used to train and test a self organising map neural network. Results obtained from the neural network demonstrated a classification success, never lower than 99.3%, indicate that it is not only possible to detect the presence of an eyebrow by monitoring the flame, but it is also possible to give an indication as to its size, over a reasonably large range of conditions.

Abstract Numerous algorithms have met complexity in recognizing the face, which is invariant to plastic surgery, owing to the texture variations in the skin. Though plastic surgery serves to be a challenging issue in the domain of face recognition, the concerned theme has to be restudied for its hypothetical and experimental perspectives. In this paper, Adaptive Gradient Location and Orientation Histogram (AGLOH)-based feature extraction is proposed to accomplish effective plastic surgery face recognition. The proposed features are extracted from the granular space of the faces. Additionally, the variants of the local binary pattern are also extracted to accompany the AGLOH features. Subsequently, the feature dimensionality is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA) to train the artificial neural network. The paper trains the neural network using particle swarm optimization, despite utilizing the traditional learning algorithms. The experimentation involved 452 plastic surgery faces from blepharoplasty, brow lift, liposhaving, malar augmentation, mentoplasty, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy and skin peeling. Finally, the proposed AGLOH proves its performance dominance.

The article deals with the technical side of face recognition — the neural network. The advantages of the neural network for identification of the person are substantiated, the stages of comparison of two images are considered. The first step is defined as the face search in the photo. Using several tests, the best neural network was identified, which allowed to effectively obtain a normalized image of a person’s face. The second step is to find the features of the person, for which the comparative analysis is performed. It was this stage that became the main point in this article — 16 sets of tests were carried out, each test set has 12 tests inside. Two large datasets were used for the study to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithms not only in ideal circumstances but also in the field. The results of the study allowed us to determine the best method and neural model for finding a face and dividing it into parts. It is determined which part of the face the algorithm recognizes best — it will allow making adjustments to the location of the camera.

The paper presents the methods of development and the results of research on the effectiveness of the seq2seq neural network architecture using Visual Attention mechanism to solve the im2latex problem. The essence of the task is to create a neural network capable of converting an image with mathematical expressions into a similar expression in the LaTeX markup language. This problem belongs to the Image Captioning type: the neural network scans the image and, based on the extracted features, generates a description in natural language. The proposed solution uses the seq2seq architecture, which contains the Encoder and Decoder mechanisms, as well as Bahdanau Attention. A series of experiments was conducted on training and measuring the effectiveness of several neural network models.

Since Covid-19 appeared, the world has entered into a new stage, in which everybody is trying to mitigate the effects of the virus. The mandatory use of face masks in public places and when maintaining contact with people outside the family circle is one of mandatory measures that many countries have implemented, such as Ecuador, thus, the purpose of this article is to develop a convolutional neural network model using TensorFlow based on MobileNetV2, that allows to perform mask detection in real time video with the key feature of determining if the person is using the face mask properly or if it is not wearing a mask, in order to use the model with OpenCV and a pretrained neural network that detects faces. In addition, the performance metrics of the neural network are analyzed, including precision, accuracy, recall and the F1 score. All performance metrics consider the number of epochs for the training process, obtaining as a result a model that classifies between three groups: faces without face mask, faces wearing a face mask improperly and faces wearing a mask properly. with a great performance in all metrics; The results show values greater than 85% for precision, recall and F1 score, and accuracy values between 93% for 5 epochs and 95% for 25 epochs.

This paper aims to explore the essence of facial attractiveness from the viewpoint of geometric features toward the classification and identification of attractive and unattractive individuals. We present a simple but useful feature extraction for facial beauty classification. Evaluation of facial attractiveness was performed with different combinations of geometric facial features using the deep learning method. In this method, we focus on the geometry of a face and use actual faces for our analysis. The proposed method has been tested on, image database containing 60 images of men's faces (attractive or unattractive) ranging from 20-50 years old. The images are taken from both frontal and lateral position. In the next step, principle components analysis (PCA) was applied to feature a reduction of beauty, and finally, the neural network was used for judging whether the obtained analysis of various faces is attractive or not. The results show that one of the indexes in identifying facial attractiveness base of science, is the values of the geometric features in the face, changing facial parameters can change the face from unattractive to attractive and vice versa. The experimental results are based on 60 facial images, high accuracy of 88%, and Sensitivity of 92% is obtained for 2-level classification (attractive or not).

A pattern recognition system mainly contains two functional parts, i.e. feature extraction and pattern classification. The success of such a system depends on not only the effectiveness of each of them, but also their operation in concert. The feature extraction process in a traditional recognition system has two major tasks, namely, to extract deformation invariant signals and to reduce data. When a neural network is used as a pattern classifier, however, an alteration in these basic objectives is needed. In particular, the consideration of data reduction will be replaced by that of the suitability of feature vectors to the neural network. In this paper, feature extraction algorithms in character recognition have been designed based on these principles. The improvements made by these algorithms have been demonstrated in a series of experiments which justify such a change in the fundamental objectives of the feature extraction process when an associative memory classifier is used.

Deeplearning has been used to solve complex problems in various domains. As it advances, it also creates applications which become a major threat to our privacy, security and even to our Democracy. Such an application which is being developed recently is the "Deepfake". Deepfake models can create fake images and videos that humans cannot differentiate them from the genuine ones. Therefore, the counter application to automatically detect and analyze the digital visual media is necessary in today world. This paper details retraining the image classification models to apprehend the features from each deepfake video frames. After feeding different sets of deepfake clips of video fringes through a pretrained layer of bottleneck in the neural network is made for every video frame, already stated layer contains condense data for all images and exposes artificial manipulations in Deepfake videos. When checking Deepfake videos, this technique received more than 87 per cent accuracy. This technique has been tested on the Face Forensics dataset and obtained good accuracy in detection.

In the course of the face feature match, many classifiers have been designed. The neural network is usually selected as a classifier because of its validity and universality, whereas its training time, training epochs, and its convergence, all are not satisfied to us. It is often influenced by the author’s experience. In the case, a collaborative genetic algorithm and neural network is presented as a new face recognition classifier. The one thing is to train the NN weights by the GA until the stopping criterion is met, and the next thing is to use the BP algorithm to continue to train the network. The training time and training epochs have been improved in the experiment of the face recognition on ORL face database. The simulation shows the validity of methods.

The quarantine restrictions introduced during COVID-19 are necessary to minimize the spread of coronavirus disease. These measures include a fixed number of people in the room, social distance, wearing protective equipment. These restrictions are achieved by the work of technological control workers and the police. However, people are not ideal creatures, quite often the human factor makes its adjustments. That is why in this work we have developed software for determining the protective elements on the face in real time using the Python scripting language, the open software libraries OpenCV v4.5.4, TensorFlow v2.6.0, Keras v2.6.0 and MobileNetV2 using the camera. The training program uses a prepared set of photos from KAGGLE — with a mask and without a mask. This set has been expanded by the authors to include different types of masks and their location. Using TensorFlow, Keras, MobileNetV2, a model is created to study the neural network by analyzing images. The generated neural network uses a model to determine the masks. You can preview the learning result of the network — it is presented as a graphic file. A program that uses the connected camera is then launched and the user can test the operation. This model can be easily deployed on embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi, Google Coral, and become a hardware and software automated system that can be used in crowded places — airports, shopping malls, stadiums, government agencies and more.
