Title
Machine Interpretation of Facial Expressions
Abstract
Facial expressions are an important source of information for human interaction. Therefore, it would be desirable if computers were able to use this information to interact more naturally with the user. However, facial expressions are not always unambiguously interpreted even by competent humans. Consequently, soft computing techniques in which interpretations are given some degree of support would seem appropriate. This paper describes how the mass assignment approach to constructing fuzzy sets from probability distributions has been applied to i) the low-level classification of pixels into facial feature classes based on their colour to segment a facial image into possible facial feature regions, ii) to make a final decision on which combination of these regions correctly extracts the facial features, and iii) to generate rules which classify the emotional content of the image according to values taken from these extracted regions.
