Communication and automatic interpretation of affect from facial expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the recent advances in computer processing of facial expressions and communicated affect. Human facial expressions have evolved in tandem with human face recognition abilities, and show remarkable consistency across cultures. Consequently, it is rewarding to review the main traits of face recognition in humans, as well as consolidated research on the categorization of facial expressions. The bulk of the chapter focuses on the main trends in computer analysis of facial expressions, sketching out the main algorithms and exposing computational considerations for different settings. We then look at some recent applications and promising new projects to give the reader a realistic view of what to expect from this technology now and in near future.

Facial Expression Recognition Based on Anatomical Structure of Human Face
Automatic analysis of human facial expressions is one of the challenging problems in machine vision systems. It has many applications in human-computer interactions such as, social signal processing, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this paper, we develop a new method for automatic facial expression recognition based on facial muscle anatomy and hum...

متن کاملAutomatic Measurement of Head and Facial Movement for Analysis and Detection of Infants’ Positive and Negative Affect
Previous work in automatic affect analysis (AAA) has emphasized static expressions to the neglect of the dynamics of facial movement and considered head movement only a nuisance variable to control. We investigated whether the dynamics of head and facial movements apart from specific facial expressions communicate affect in infants, an under-studied population in AAA. Age-appropriate tasks were...
متن کاملFacial Expressions as Feedback Cue in Human–Robot Interaction — a Comparison between Human and Automatic Recognition Performances
Facial expressions are one important nonverbal communication cue, as they can provide feedback in conversations between people and also in human–robot interaction. This paper presents an evaluation of three standard pattern recognition techniques (active appearance models, raw images, gabor energy filters) for facial feedback interpretation in terms of valence (success, failure) and compares th...
