Emotion Expression 3-D Synthesis From Predicted Emotion Magnitudes

Many studies have been conducted on how to detect emotion classes or magnitudes from multimedia information such as text, audio, and images. However, the methods that can use predicted emotion classes and magnitudes to render emotion expressions in Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) are still unclear. This paper proposes a computer graphics methodology that uses predicted non-linear regression values to render facial expressions using mesh morphing techniques. Results of the rendering technique are presented and discussed.
