A robust technique for real-time face verification with a generative network

This paper presents a framework to track multiple persons in real-time. First, a method with real-time and adaptable capability is proposed to extract face-like regions based on skin, motion and silhouette features. Then, an adaptable skin model is used for each detected face to overcome the changes of the observed environment. After that, a two-stage face verification algorithm is proposed to quickly eliminate false faces based on face geometries and the SVM (Support Vector Machine) approach. In order to overcome the effect of lighting changes, during verification, a method of color constancy compensation is proposed. Then, a robust tracking scheme is applied to identify multiple persons based on a face-status table. With the table, the proposed system has powerful capabilities to track different persons at different statuses, which is quite important in face-related applications. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust and powerful than other traditional methods, which utilize only color, motion information, and the correlation technique.

Quiescent Prominence

This paper describes some recent results of our quiescent prominence spectrometry program at the Mees Solar Observatory on Haleakala. The observations were made with the 25 cm coronagraph/coudé spectrograph system using a silicon vidicon detector. This detector consists of 500 contiguous channels covering approximately 6 or 80 Å, depending on the grating used. The instrument is interfaced to the Observatory’s PDP 11/45 computer system, and has the important advantages of wide spectral response, linearity and signal-averaging with real-time display. Its principal drawback is the relatively small target size. For the present work, the aperture was about 3″ × 5″. Absolute intensity calibrations were made by measuring quiet regions near sun center.

Capture Techniques

We have employed cryoelectron microscopy to visualize events that occur during the freeze-drying of artificial membranes by employing real time video capture techniques. Artificial membranes or liposomes which are spherical structures within internal aqueous space are stabilized by water which provides the driving force for spontaneous self-assembly of these structures. Previous assays of damage to these structures which are induced by freeze drying reveal that the two principal deleterious events that occur are 1) fusion of liposomes and 2) leakage of contents trapped within the liposome [1]. In the past the only way to access these events was to examine the liposomes following the dehydration event. This technique allows the event to be monitored in real time as the liposomes destabilize and as water is sublimed at cryo temperatures in the vacuum of the microscope. The method by which liposomes are compromised by freeze-drying are largely unknown. This technique has shown that cryo-protectants such as glycerol and carbohydrates are able to maintain liposomal structure throughout the drying process.
