    Recognising the ageing face: the role of age in face processing

    The effects of age-induced changes on face recognition were investigated as a means of exploring the role of age in the encoding of new facial memories. The ability of participants to recognise each of six previously learnt faces was tested with versions which were either identical to the learnt faces, the same age (but different in pose and expression), or younger or older in age. Participants were able to cope well with facial changes induced by ageing: their performance with older, but not younger, versions was comparable to that with faces which differed only in pose and expression. Since the large majority of different age versions were recognised successfully, it can be concluded that the process of recognition does not require an exact match in age characteristics between the stored representation of a face and the face currently in view. As the age-related changes explored here were those that occur during the period of growth, this in turn implies that the underlying structural physical properties of the face are (in addition to pose and facial expression) invariant to a certain extent

    The me in memory:the role of the self in autobiographical memory development

    This paper tests the hypothesis that self development plays a role in the offset of childhood amnesia; assessing the importance of both the capacity to anchor a memory to the self-concept, and the strength of the self-concept as an anchor. We demonstrate for the first time that the volume of 3- to 6-year-old’s specific autobiographical memories is predicted by both the volume of their self-knowledge, and their capacity for self-source monitoring within self-referencing paradigms (N =186). Moreover, there is a bidirectional relationship between self and memory, such that autobiographical memory mediates the link between self-source monitoring and self-knowledge. These predictive relationships suggests that the self memory system is active in early childhood

    Indexing, browsing and searching of digital video

    Video is a communications medium that normally brings together moving pictures with a synchronised audio track into a discrete piece or pieces of information. The size of a “piece ” of video can variously be referred to as a frame, a shot, a scene, a clip, a programme or an episode, and these are distinguished by their lengths and by their composition. We shall return to the definition of each of these in section 4 this chapter. In modern society, video is ver

    Relaxed Spatio-Temporal Deep Feature Aggregation for Real-Fake Expression Prediction

    Frame-level visual features are generally aggregated in time with the techniques such as LSTM, Fisher Vectors, NetVLAD etc. to produce a robust video-level representation. We here introduce a learnable aggregation technique whose primary objective is to retain short-time temporal structure between frame-level features and their spatial interdependencies in the representation. Also, it can be easily adapted to the cases where there have very scarce training samples. We evaluate the method on a real-fake expression prediction dataset to demonstrate its superiority. Our method obtains 65% score on the test dataset in the official MAP evaluation and there is only one misclassified decision with the best reported result in the Chalearn Challenge (i.e. 66:7%) . Lastly, we believe that this method can be extended to different problems such as action/event recognition in future.Comment: Submitted to International Conference on Computer Vision Workshop
