Abstract

Facial expression is of increasing importance for man-machine communication. It is expected that future human computer interaction systems even include emotions of the user. In this work we present an associative approach based on a multi-channel deconvolution for processing of face expression data derived from video sequences supported by a 3-D facial model generated with stereo support. Photogrammetric techniques are applied to determine real world geometric measures and to create a feature vector. Standard classification is used to discriminate between a limited number of mimics, but often fails at transitions from one detected emotion state to another. The proposed associative approach reduces ambiguities at the transitions between different classified emotions. This way, typical patterns of facial expression change is considered.
