Zusatztext this book gives a good overview of a number of important research topics in this field. The chapters are well written and discuss most of the relevant studies! which make this a useful reference book ... this book stands as a very succinct (and in the main very approachable) survey of the state of the art in research on the processing of facial images. Klappentext The papers that make up this volume are focused on the theme of Processing the facial image. The authors include engineers! computer scientists! neurophysiologists and psychologists of various persuasions! including developmental! social! cognitive and neuropsychologists. Each contributor was asked to present a state-of-the-art review of an aspect of facial image processing! particularly emphasizing their own recent contributions. Much of the current impetus and excitement in the field comes from the fact that these scientists are not working in ignorance of! and isolation from! each other; rather there are abundant signs of interaction and intercommunication. Zusammenfassung Human faces present complex visual patterns that mediate a variety of social activity including the recognition of individuals, the perception of emotion and lipreading. This volume reviews the progress which has been made in understanding how these images are interpreted by the brain. Inhaltsverzeichnis Charles G.
