Automatic Detecting Neutral Face for Face Authentication and Facial Expression Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic detecting neutral faces will improve the accuracy of face recognition/authentication, speaker ID analysis, and make it is possible to do facial expression analysis automatically. This paper describes an automatic system to find neutral faces in images by using location and shape features. Using these features, a window is placed in the detected and normalized face region. In that fashion, zones in this window correspond to facial regions that are loosely invariant from subject to subject. Within these zones, shape features in the form of histograms and ellipses are extracted. These features, in addition to more global distance measures, are input to a classifier to arrive at a neutral/non-neutral decision. The system has achieved an average detection rate of 97.2% based on 536 test images of 24 subjects. Tests on an independent image database of 64 images of 13 subjects achieved success rate of 95.3%, giving some indication of the robustness of the system.

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...

Most automatic expression analysis systems attempt to recognize a small set of prototypic expressions, such as happiness, anger, surprise, and fear. Such prototypic expressions, however, occur rather infrequently. Human emotions and intentions are more often communicated by changes in one or a few discrete facial features. In this paper, we develop an Automatic Face Analysis (AFA) system to ana...

متن کاملAutomatic Facial Expression Analysis
Facial expression analysis is an active area in human-computer interaction. Many techniques of facial expression analysis have been proposed that try to make the interaction tighter and more efficient. The essence of facial expression analysis is to recognize facial actions or to perceive human emotion through the changes of the face surface. Generally, there are three main steps in analyzing f...
