Face-looking Image Recognition
From the face image at below, whose most well-known example is observed on the surface of Mars to the clouds in the sky, we encounter a lot of face-like images everyday. Inspired by this situation called Pareidolia and the article "Can an Algorithm Recognize Montage Portraits as Human Faces" published in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine in 2010, we aimed to recognize face-like images and to develop an algorithm that matches real people and reconstructs real human faces.

We developed an algorithm and published an article "Face-looking Image Recognition" at 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU) in 2019
