Measurement: Derived Units03:02

Measurement: Derived Units

55.5K
The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Surface Tension, Capillary Action, and Viscosity

Surface Tension
The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...

Muscles for Facial Expressions01:14

Muscles for Facial Expressions

4.9K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.7K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

What are Estimates?01:06

What are Estimates?

8.8K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Machine Learning
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Facial action unit (AU) dependencies, crucial for accurate recognition and intensity estimation, are often underutilized.

    • To propose novel hybrid Bayesian network methods for recognizing AUs and estimating their intensity.
    • To effectively model and leverage complex, global inherent AU dependencies.
    • To enhance AU recognition and intensity estimation using facial expression information.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed hybrid Bayesian networks combining latent regression Bayesian networks (LRBNs) and Bayesian networks (BNs).
    • Utilized LRBNs for modeling relationships between multiple AUs or intensities, with visible nodes representing ground-truth data.
    • Incorporated facial image measurements and AU dependencies in lower BN layers for recognition and intensity estimation.
    • Proposed efficient learning algorithms for the hybrid models.
    • Extended models for facial expression-assisted AU recognition and intensity estimation.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that the proposed hybrid Bayesian networks effectively model complex inherent AU dependencies.
    • Achieved accurate AU recognition and intensity estimation by exploiting AU relationships.
    • Showcased that incorporating expression labels during training significantly boosts the estimation of AU dependencies.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel hybrid Bayesian network approach successfully models inherent AU dependencies for improved recognition and intensity estimation.
    • Facial expression information serves as a valuable addition to enhance the performance of AU analysis.
    • The proposed methods offer a significant advancement in the field of automated facial behavior analysis.
