Facial recognition system image by analyzing multiple facial regions and details. It consists of a non-linear regression model that maps a specific thermal image into a corresponding visible facial image and an optimization issue that projects the latent projection back into the image space. ARL scientists have noted that the approach works by combining global information (i.e. features across the entire face) with local information (i.e. features regarding the eyes, nose, and mouth). In addition to enhancing the discriminability of the synthesized image, the facial recognition system can be used to transform a thermal face signature into a refined visible image of a
Immunodeficiency–centromeric instability–facial anomalies syndrome Immunodeficiency–centromeric instability–facial anomalies syndrome ICF syndrome (or Immunodeficiency, Centromere instability and Facial anomalies syndrome) is a very rare autosomal recessive immune disorder. It is characterized by variable reductions in serum immunoglobulin levels which cause most ICF patients to succumb to infectious diseases before adulthood. ICF syndrome patients exhibit facial anomalies which include hypertelorism, low-set ears, epicanthal folds and macroglossia. ICF syndrome can be caused by a mutation in the DNA-methyltransferase-3b ("Dnmt3b") gene, located on chromosome 20q11.2. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. For ICF patients the most diffused therapy consists of repeated intravenous infusions of immunoglobulins for
