Face Expression plays an important role in human communication. This paper presents a high-level overview of automatic expression recognition; it highlights...

Facial expression is one form of communication which being non-verbal in nature precedes verbal both origin and conception. Most the existing methods for Automatic Expression Recognition (AFER) are mainly focused on global feature extraction assuming that all facial regions contribute equal amount discriminative information to predict class. The detection localization have significant contribut...

Most automatic expression analysis systems attempt to recognize a small set of prototypic expressions (e.g. happiness and anger). Such prototypic expressions, however, occur infrequently. Human emotions and intentions are communicated more often by changes in one or two discrete facial features. In this paper, we develop an automatic system to analyze subtle changes in facial expressions based ...

Emotion plays an important role in human communications. We construct a framework for multi-modal fusion emotion recognition. Facial expression features and speech features are respectively extracted from image sequences and speech signals. In order to locate and track facial feature points, we construct an Active Appearance Model for facial images with all kinds of expressions. Facial Animatio...

Facial expression detection by a machine is a valuable topic for Human Computer Interaction and has been a study issue in the behavioural science for some time. Recently, significant progress has been achieved in machine analysis of facial expressions but there are still some interests to study the area in order to extend its applications. This work investigates the theoretical concepts behind ...

Facial diagnosis is an important and very intuitive diagnostic method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). However, due to its qualitative and experience-based subjective property, traditional facial diagnosis has a certain limitation in clinical medicine. The computerized inspection method provides classification models to recognize facial complexion (including color and gloss). However, the...

Facial features are frequently used to represent local properties of a human face image in computer vision applications. In this paper, we present a fast algorithm that can extract the facial features online such that they can give a satisfying representation of a face image. It includes one step for a coarse detection of each facial feature by AdaBoost and another one to increase the accuracy ...

Facial Expressions play an important role in recognizing the human emotions without any verbal communication. Face emotion recognition is one of the main applications of computer vision. The research of emotion recognition includes facial expressions, voice recognition, gesture recognition, text etc. For efficient human-computer interaction, recognizing human emotional state is an important com...

Two experiments examined whether 8-month-old infants process faces (photos in Experiment 1, schematic faces in Experiment 2) analytically by processing facial features independently of the facial context or configurally by processing the features in conjunction with the facial context. Infants were habituated to two faces and looking time was measured. After habituation they were tested with a ...
