Human facial activity recognition is one of the endeavors to improve human-computer interaction. Recognition of excitements and emotions on human face by machine and makinga corresponding reaction is essential for man machine intraction.The purpose of this project is recognizingactivities such as speaking, eating, laughing, agree and disagree which have more complexity than usualemotions such as fear and happinesscontained in common datasets.So, adataset in accordance with the above mentioned 5 activities was collected and the appropriate feature vector for analyzing these face activities were implemented.Distance between the interest points located on the face were used as parameters in... 

Nowadays, retrieval is an inseparable part of user activities and due to growing usage of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), it has become a hot and challenging research topic specially in the past decade. The most important challenge that retrieval systems (including CBIR systems) are facing is the semantic gap between abstractions in the user’s mind and what is searched. One of the ways of dealing with this challenge is getting more information from the user about what he needs and so decreasing the distance between user’s will and what he gives to search engine as the description of his need.
