High access rates are extremely important for web pages, especially for news web pages, online shopping sites, and search engines. We analyzed the influences of visual fluency and cognitive fluency on the access rates of Chinese web pages. First, we conducted an experiment of scoring the web pages. Twenty-five subjects were invited to view the 50 of top 100 web pages in China, and they were asked to provide a score on a five-point Likert scale from four aspects, including complexity, comfortability, familiarity, and usability. Second, we analyzed the obtained results through correlation analysis and factor analysis in R. Moreover, we analyzed the contributions of visual fluency and cognitive fluency to the access rates using factor analysis. Results showed that both visual fluency and cognitive fluency affect the access rate of web pages. Compared to cognitive fluency, visual fluency plays a more important role in the user access of web pages.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126459763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the reasons for this is ear's 3D concave shape that changes their 2D appearances when there are changes in camera angles. To compensate these changes in 2D appearance, 3D statistical modeling is necessary. For this purpose, only one model is used in our previous study. Based on a few forensic classification methods of ear shapes, we attempted to increase the number of 3D statistical ear models. Through experimental evaluation, we find a possibility to improve the robustness against change in camera angles.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116519674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To create invisible visual stimulations, we inserted a target image (a frame) into a video displayed at a high frame rate and simultaneously decreased the target intensity. The brain waves of experimental subjects presented with the invisible visual stimulations were measured. By comparing the measured brain waves with the knowledge obtained in conventional studies, we obtain the spectral differences under different intensity conditions. Using these spectral differences as individual features and the Euclidian distance matching as a verification method, we evaluated the verification performance of brain waves evoked by invisible visual stimulation. The equal error rate was minimized when using the spectra in the high-beta band.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134071817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dispersion index is used to analyze the degree of variation in the pixel intensities. By calculating the pixel intensity variance for the block size, it is possible to quantify the degree of contrast and brightness in the block. The proposed method can adjust the block size for local thresholding by utilizing the pixel intensity variation. Evaluation experiments show that it is possible to extract the iris feature from low-contrast patterns with high accuracy, which was difficult to achieve using the conventional approach. Experimental results show that the EER (Equal Error Rate) of the proposed method is reduced to 0.4%, and the processing time increases to 3.3 ms when compared with the conventional approach.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117109088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the impression factors of both of Japanese and Chinese people were “Brightness,” “Potency,” “Activity,” “Naturalness,” and “Sharpness.” It was shown that the factors of Japanese and Chinese males were correlated with each other.

Previous studies have explored several methods to develop the model and improve the results while maintaining the feasibility of real-time implementation for later stages. We evolved the emotion recognition module by using Genetic Programming (GP) and explored several optimizations. We investigated and compared the evolution of a unique classifier (evolved from data from a single specific subject only), the evolution of a general classifier (evolved from data from multiple subjects), and the evolution of an adaptive classifier by implementing incremental GP (evolved incrementally, first from multiple subjects and then from a single specific subject). We conducted the experiments by using the same budget in terms of evolution sessions to obtain the best programs for a fair comparison between general approach, user-specific approach, and adaptive approach. We then performed repeated experiments to verify the robustness of the method. From the results, we concluded that, on an average, adaptive approach not only resulted in faster evolution time, but also achieved better accuracy in emotion recognition.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123810706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the system, we introduce “Partial Task Integration” algorithm that can shorten the time for executing tasks by integrating some actions in different tasks to one action. To evaluate this system, we have implemented two types of the prototype, and experimentally compared task execution time and mental burden on prototypeusing case and no-system case. As the result, prototype-using case took longer time than no-system case because the time for looking at the display to confirm the next action are needed.","PeriodicalId":448035,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Biometrics and Kansei Engineering (ICBAKE)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123993290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
