ABSTRACT A Study on an Automatic System for Analyzing the Facial Beauty of Young Women Neha Sultan Beauty is one of the foremost ideas that define human personality. However, only recently has the concept of beauty been scientifically analyzed. This has mostly been due to extensive research done in the area of face recognition and image processing on identification and classification of human features as contributing to facial beauty. Current research aims at precisely and conclusively understanding how humans classify a given individual's face as beautiful. Due to the lack of published theoretical standards and ground truths for human facial beauty, this is often an ambiguous process. Current methods of analysis and classification of human facial beauty rely mainly on the geometric aspects of human facial beauty. The classifiers used in current research include the k-nearest neighbor algorithm, ridge regression, and basic principal component analysis. In this research, various approaches related to the comprehension and analysis of human beauty are presented and the use of these theories is outlined. Each set of theories is translated into a feature model that is tested for classification. Selecting the best set of features that result in the most accurate model for the representation of the human face is a key challenge. This research introduces the combined use of three main groups of features for classification of female facial beauty, to be used with classification through support vector machines. The classifier utilized is Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the accuracy obtained through this classifier is 86%. Current research in the field has iii produced algorithms with percentages of accuracy that are in the range of 75-85%. The approach used is one of analysis of the central tenets of beauty, the successive application of image processing techniques, and finally the usage of relevant machine learning methods to build an effective system for the automatic assessment of facial beauty. The ground truths used for verifying results are derived from ratings extracted from surveys conducted. The proposed methodology involves a novel algorithm for the representation of facial beauty, which combines the use of geometric, textural, and shape based features for the analysis of facial beauty. This algorithm initially develops an overall landmark model of the entire human face. A significant advantage of this methodology is the accurate model of the human face which synthesizes the geometric, textural and shape-related aspects of the face. The landmark model is then used for extracting critical characteristics which are then used in a feature vector for training using machine learning. The features extracted help to represent facial characteristics in three major areas. Geometric features help to represent the symmetrical properties and ratio-based properties of landmarks on the face. Textural features extracted help capture information related to skin texture and composition. Finally, face shape and outline features help to categorize the overall shape of a given face, which helps to represent the given female face shape and outline for further analysis of any deviations from the basic face shapes. These features are then used in a classifier to appropriately categorize each image. The database used for the source of images contains images of female subjects from a variety of backgrounds and levels of attractiveness. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................................

  • Power of Protein (PDF)
    Dear Friends, It is with much passion that I’m writing, updating and organizing this information to share with you. My desk and all available space has been literally covered with the latest research as well as the timeless ‘golden oldies’ of protein information, stories, and how that translates into the dietary guidelines and grams per pound of desired body weight for today, both for the sedentary and for the very active. Did you know that we lose 5-10 lbs. of muscle every decade if we’re not doing strength training? Wayne Wescott, B.S., M.S. Phys. Ed, PSU and Ph.D from Ohio State. Dr Wayne Campbell adds: If you’re between 50 – 80 years of age, you need 50% more protein than the RDA just to maintain. 25% more protein above the RDA if you’re younger. I invite you to journey with me. Let’s get informed and get vibrantly healthy together. Ever hear the story of the little boy who’s grandfather instructs him on how to skip a stone across water? As the ripples are being created the Grandfather explains how we are like those ripples. Each ripple has an effect on the next. Likewise, our vibrations that we set forth into the Universe have an affect on many. And the better we feel, the happier we are and that can be contagious! Let’s be contagious together. I’m smiling at you, :o) Linda The Story of Protein The word ‘protein’ from Greek, literally means of ‘first importance.’ The ‘building blocks’ of protein are the amino acids.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This Chapter Describes the Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the introduction of the research. It consists of background of research, statement of problem, research objective, research significance, and definition of key terms. 1.1 Background of Research Communication is important for human life and one of the communication elements is aimed to inform, guide, persuade, change attitude and idea, transform behavior or initiate actions and to entertain. According to Mulyana (2008) in this function of communication, audiences are made believe that the given information is a true and worth knowing. One of the channels of communication that can achieve the objectives of instrumental communication is advertisements. In the communication of advertisement, not only a language is to be discussed, but also the other communication elements such as a picture, color, and the voice. There are two media of advertisement. One of them is printed such as an advertisement in magazines, posters, or billboards, and the other is electronic such as the advertisement in radio, television and internet. The message is about how to sell of the product, whereas the receiver is a public that becomes the aim or target (Sobur 2013) Meanwhile, advertisement is one of the most effective media to communicate with everyone in this world. Oxford Dictionary online defines 1 advertisement as a notice or announcement in a public medium promotes a product, service, or event publicize a job vacancy. Advertisement is included in persuasive communication which is a conviction elementary from humanity ideology, it is called as persuader. Then the persuader must have a moral on what he takes also a social consequences imminently (Malik, 1994:6).
