Recently people do not only use mobile phone to call, but also use it to send a SMS. However, it is difficult to express own complicated emotion with text and emoticon of exited SMS service. We pay attention to express user’s emotion interesting and correct, we use character animation. This paper suggests emotion based gesture animation generation system that uses character's facial expression ...

In the field of image processing it is very interesting to recognize the human gesture for general life applications. Human gestures can be identified by observing the different movements of eyes, mouth, nose and hands. This paper introduces a simple architecture for human facial expression recognition .The approach is based on texture based emotion recognition using facial expressions and usin...

As peoples use body language or non-verbal language such as gesture and facial expression in communication; computers will also be able to communicate humans .In the digital era, there are various computational models are already exist for recognition of different facial expressions (Happy, Sad, Disgust, Angry and neutral) but we are trying to propose a computational model of facial expression ...

We describe an implemented system which automatically generates and animates conversations between multiple human-like agents with appropriate and synchronized speech, intonation, facial expressions, and hand gestures. Conversations are created by a dialogue planner that produces the text as well as the intonation of the utterances. The speaker/listener relationship, the text, and the intonatio...

Designing an agent capable of multimodal communication requires synchronization of the agent’s performance across its communication channels: text, prosody, gesture, body movement and facial expressions. The synchronization of gesture and spoken text has significant repercussions for agent design. To explore this issue, we examined people’s sensitivity to misalignments between gesture and spoke...

Computer synthesized characters are expected to make appropriate face, limb, and body gestures during communicative acts. We focus on non-facial movements and try to elucidate what is intended with the notions of "gesture" and "naturalness". We argue that looking only at the psychological notion of gesture and gesture type is insufficient to capture movement qualities needed by an animated char...

The natural communication of apes may hold clues about language origins, especially because apes frequently gesture with limbs and hands, a mode of communication thought to have been the starting point of human language evolution. The present study aimed to contrast brachiomanual gestures with orofacial movements and vocalizations in the natural communication of our closest primate relatives, b...

Interpreting facial expressions is a task that humans perform everyday automatically. Most of gesture recognition research are focused to discriminate different facial expressions, while interpreting them is relatively a new area. This paper deals with how to recognize an emotional state, since it can be represented as states at a time t that are influenced directly by a previous state at t − 1...
