MPEG-4 Facial Expression Synthesis based on Appraisal Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
MPEG-4 facial animation parameters are used in order to evaluate theoretical predictions for intermediate expressions of a given emotion episode, based on Scherer’s appraisal theory. MPEG-4 FAPs and action units are combined in modelling the effects of appraisal checks on facial expressions and temporal evolution issues of facial expressions are investigated. The results of the synthesis process can then be applied to Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs), rendering their interaction with humans, or other ECAs, more affective.

In the framework of MPEG-4, one can include applications where virtual agents, utilizing both textual and multisensory data, including facial expressions and nonverbal speech, help systems become accustomed to the actual feelings of the user. Applications of this technology are expected in educational environments, virtual collaborative workplaces, communities, and interactive entertainment. Fa...
متن کاملAppraisal Inference from Synthetic Facial Expressions
Facial expression research largely relies on forced-choice paradigms that ask observers to choose a label to describe the emotion expressed, assuming a categorical encoding and decoding process. In contrast, appraisal theories of emotion suggest that cognitive appraisal of a situation and the resulting action tendencies determine facial actions in a complex cumulative and sequential process. It...

In the framework of MPEG-4 hybrid coding of natural and synthetic data streams, one can include teleconferencing and telepresence applications, in which a synthetic proxy or a virtual agent is capable of substituting the actual user. Such agents can interact with each other, analyzing input textual data entered by the user and multisensory data, including human emotions, facial expressions and ...

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...

This article describes the role and functions of facial expressions in human-human and human-computer interactions from a psychological point of view. We introduce our theoretical framework, which is based on componential appraisal theory and describe the methodological and theoretical challenges to studying the role of facial expression in intra-individual and interindividual emotion regulatio...
