Expressing Emotions on Robotic Companions with Limited Facial Expression Capabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Facing the challenge of accurately expressing emotions with robots and characters with limited expressive capabilities, we developed an abstraction model for generating emotional expressions based on the atomic features that enable human beings to recognize emotions in other humans’ faces. The model is also augmented by animation theory from movies and puppetry. A small evaluation of the expressions showed that some expressions were well recognized, in particular Anger and Sadness.

متن کاملSynthesis of human facial expressions based on the distribution of elastic force applied by control points
Facial expressions play an essential role in delivering emotions. Thus facial expression synthesis gain interests in many fields such as computer vision and graphics. Facial actions are generated by contraction and relaxation of the muscles innervated by facial nerves. The combination of those muscle motions is numerous. therefore, facial expressions are often person specific. But in general, f...
