AI Article Synopsis

  • Three-dimensional face recognition plays a significant role in computer vision, with point clouds being a common representation despite their unordered nature and lack of texture detail affecting feature recognition.
  • This paper introduces a novel face recognition network comprising a local feature descriptor for fine-grained feature extraction and a permutation-invariant approach to address the unordered point clouds problem.
  • Experimental results on three datasets (CASIA-3D, Bosphorus, and Lock3Dface) demonstrate that this new method enhances accuracy by 0.7%, 0.4%, and 0.8% compared to existing techniques.

Article Abstract

Three-dimensional face recognition is an important part of the field of computer vision. Point clouds are widely used in the field of 3D vision due to the simple mathematical expression. However, the disorder of the points makes it difficult for them to have ordered indexes in convolutional neural networks. In addition, the point clouds lack detailed textures, which makes the facial features easily affected by expression or head pose changes. To solve the above problems, this paper constructs a new face recognition network, which mainly consists of two parts. The first part is a novel operator based on a local feature descriptor to realize the fine-grained features extraction and the permutation invariance of point clouds. The second part is a feature enhancement mechanism to enhance the discrimination of facial features. In order to verify the performance of our method, we conducted experiments on three public datasets: CASIA-3D, Bosphorus, and Lock3Dface. The results show that the accuracy of our method is improved by 0.7%, 0.4%, and 0.8% compared with the latest methods on these three datasets, respectively.

Binding, a critical cognitive process likely mediated by attention, is essential for creating coherent object representations within a scene. This process is vulnerable in individuals with dementia, who exhibit deficits in visual working memory (VWM) binding, primarily tested using abstract arrays of standalone objects. To explore how binding operates in more realistic settings across the lifespan, we examined the impact of object saliency and semantic consistency on VWM binding and the role of overt attention.

Memory Clinic, Department of Neurology, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwziekenhuis, Aalst, Belgium.

Background And Objectives: POLR3-related disorders are a group of autosomal recessive neurodegenerative diseases that usually cause leukodystrophy and can lead to cognitive dysfunction. Literature reporting comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in POLR3A-related diseases is sparse. Here we describe the neuropsychological profile of a case of childhood-onset POLR3A-related spastic ataxia without leukodystrophy.
