Abstract Methods using salient facial patches (SFPs) play a significant role in research on expression recognition. However, most SFP methods use only frontal face images or videos for recognition, and they do not consider head position variations. We contend that can be an effective approach recognizing expressions under different rotations. Accordingly, we propose algorithm, called profile (P...

Probing emotional facial expression recognition with the adaptation paradigm is one way to investigate the processes underlying emotional face recognition. Previous research suggests that these processes are tuned to dynamic facial information (facial movement). Here we examined the tuning of processes involved in the recognition of emotional facial expressions to different sources of facial mo...

Sometimes we advise others persons on the decisions they should make, and accept risks that would be modulated by cognitive emotional variables. In order to analyze role of expressed emotion in this type interactions, it was conducted an experiment which (facial expression: joy vs. sadness) advice (health financial) were manipulated their impact risk-taking confidence response. The subjects acc...

Tracking human facial expression within a video image has many useful applications, such as surveillance and teleconferencing, etc. Initially, the Active Appearance Model (AAM) was proposed for facial recognition; however, it turns out that the AAM has many advantages as regards continuous facial expression recognition. We have implemented a continuous facial expression recognition system using...

A major challenge in pattern recognition is labeling of large numbers of samples. This problem has been solved by extending supervised learning to semi-supervised learning. Thus semi-supervised learning has become one of the most important methods on the research of facial expression recognition. Frontal and un-occluded face images have been well recognized using traditional facial expression r...

BACKGROUND Functional restoration of the facial expression is necessary after facial nerve resection to treat head and neck tumors. This study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients who underwent facial nerve cable grafting immediately after tumor resection. METHODS Patients who underwent cable grafting from April 2007 to August 2011 were reviewed, in which a harvested ...

In this paper, we propose a visualization method of music impression in facial expression to represent emotion. We apply facial expression to represent the complicated and mixed emotions. This method can generate facial expression corresponding to impressions of music data by measurement of relationship between each basic emotion for facial expression and impressions extracted from music data. ...
