Lafter: Lips and Face Real Time Tracker with Facial Expression Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an active-camera real-time system for tracking, shape description, and classiication of the human face and mouth expressions using only a PC or equivalent computer. The system is based on use of 2-D blob features, which are spatially-compact clusters of pixels that are similar in terms of low-level image properties. Patterns of behavior (e.g., facial expressions and head movements) can be clas-siied in real-time using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). The system has been tested on hundreds of users and has demonstrated extremely reliable and accurate performance. Typical facial expression classiication accuracies are near 100%.

متن کاملImproving LNMF Performance of Facial Expression Recognition via Significant Parts Extraction using Shapley Value
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithms have been utilized in a wide range of real applications. NMF is done by several researchers to its part based representation property especially in the facial expression recognition problem. It decomposes a face image into its essential parts (e.g. nose, lips, etc.) but in all previous attempts, it is neglected that all features achieved by NMF ...
متن کاملRobust Real-Time Facial Expressions Tracking and Recognition
Enabling computer systems to track and recognize facial expressions and then infer emotions from about real time video is a challenging research topic. In this work, a real time approach to emotion recognition through facial expression in live video is introduced. Several automatic methods for face localization, facial feature tracker, and facial expression recognition are employed. A robust tr...
متن کاملPreprocessing of visual speech under real world conditions
In this paper we present recent work on integration of visual information (automatic lipreading) with acoustic speech for better overall speech recognition. We have developed a modular system for exible human-computer interaction via speech. In order to give the speaker reasonable freedom of movement within a room, the speaker's face is automatically acquired and followed by a face tracker subs...
