In this thesis we give new constructions of a number of extremal type II codes. Algebraic proofs are provided that the constructions do in fact yield the codes. The codes are constructed using group rings of which the ...

Advances are presented in the modeling of facial sub-regions, in the use of enhanced whole face-models, and based on these sub-region models, in the determination of facial expressions. Models are derived using techniques ...
