Ijip 965SVM Based Recognition of Facial Expressions Used In Indian Sign LanguageCSCJournals
In sign language systems, facial expressions are an intrinsic component that usually accompanies hand gestures. The facial expressions would modify or change the meaning of hand gesture into a statement, a question or improve the meaning and understanding of hand gestures. The scientific literature available in Indian Sign Language (ISL) on facial expression recognition is scanty. Contrary to American Sign Language (ASL), head movements are less conspicuous in ISL and the answers to questions such as yes or no are signed by hand. Purpose of this paper is to present our work in recognizing facial expression changes in isolated ISL sentences. Facial gesture pattern results in the change of skin textures by forming wrinkles and furrows. Gabor wavelet method is well-known for capturing subtle textural changes on surfaces. Therefore, a unique approach was developed to model facial expression changes with Gabor wavelet parameters that were chosen from partitioned face areas. These parameters were incorporated with Euclidian distance measure. Multi class SVM classifier was used in this recognition system to identify facial expressions in an isolated facial expression sequences in ISL. An accuracy of 92.12 % was achieved by our proposed system.

Facial emoji recognition is a human computer interaction system. In recent times, automatic face recognition or facial expression recognition has attracted increasing attention from researchers in psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, and similar fields. Facial emoji recognizer is an end user application which detects the expression of the person in the video being captured by the camera. The smiley relevant to the expression of the person in the video is shown on the screen which changes with the change in the expressions. Facial expressions are important in human communication and interactions. Also, they are used as an important tool in studies about behavior and in medical fields. Facial emoji recognizer provides a fast and practical approach for non meddlesome emotion detection. The purpose was to develop an intelligent system for facial based expression classification using CNN algorithm. Haar classifier is used for face detection and CNN algorithm is utilized for the expression detection and giving the emoticon relevant to the expression as the output. N. Swapna Goud | K.

Two Level Decision for Recognition of Human Facial Expressions using Neural N...IIRindia
Facial Expressions of the human being is the one which is the outcome of the inner feelings of the mind. It is the person’s internal emotional states and intentions.A person’s face provides a lot of information such as age, gender, identity, mood, expressions and so on. Faces play an important role in the recognition of the expressions of persons. In this research, an attempt is made to design a model to classify human facial expressions according to the features extracted f0rom human facial images by applying 3 Sigma limits inSecond level decision using Neural Network (NN). Now a days, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely used as a tool for solving many decision modeling problems. In this paper a feed forward propagation Neural networks are constructed for expression classification system for gray-scale facial images. Three groups of expressions including Happy, Sad and Anger are used in the classification system. In this paper, a Second level decision has been proposed in which the output obtained from the Neural Network(Primary Level) has been refined at the Second level in order to improvise the accuracy of the recognition rate. The accuracy of the system is analyzed by the variation on the range of the expression groups. The efficiency of the system is demonstrated through the experimental results.

A Comprehensive Survey on Human Facial Expression DetectionCSCJournals
In the recent years recognition of Human's Facial Expression has been very active research area in computer vision. There have been several advances in the past few years in terms of face detection and tracking, feature extraction mechanisms and the techniques used for expression classification. This paper surveys some of the published work since 2001. The paper gives a time-line view of the advances made in this field, the applications of automatic face expression recognizers, the characteristics of an ideal system, the databases that have been used and the advances made in terms of their standardization and a detailed summary of the state of the art. The paper also discusses facial parameterization using FACS Action Units (AUs) and advances in face detection, tracking and feature extraction methods. It has the important role in the humancomputer interaction (HCI) systems. There are multiple methods devised for facial feature extraction which helps in identifying face and facial expressions.
Fiducial Point Location Algorithm for Automatic Facial Expression Recognitionijtsrd
We present an algorithm for the automatic recognition of facial features for color images of either frontal or rotated human faces. The algorithm first identifies the sub images containing each feature, afterwards, it processes them separately to extract the characteristic fiducial points. Then Calculate the Euclidean distances between the center of gravity coordinate and the annotated fiducial points coordinates of the face image. A system that performs these operations accurately and in real time would form a big step in achieving a human like interaction between man and machine. This paper surveys the past work in solving these problems. The features are looked for in down sampled images, the fiducial points are identified in the high resolution ones. Experiments indicate that our proposed method can obtain good classification accuracy. D. Malathi | A. Mathangopi | Dr. D.

Three-dimensional multimodal models of objective classes are a great tool in modeling and recognition. The multimodal involuntary emotion recognition during a mentally challenged-based communication is presented. We have easily found the mentally disorder people without a doctor. The features are built upon the emotion, motion and frequency to identifying the percentage of mentally disorder peoples. Using Different categories of an image, video, audio and emotions can be discriminated. An image using an algorithms for classification is 3DMM (Three-dimensional morph able models) used to fit the model to images, and a framework for face emotion recognition. GPSO (Guided Particle Swarm Optimization) the emotion finding problem is basically an exploration problem, where at every point; we are pointed to recognize which of the thinkable emotions ensures the current facial expression denotes and GA (Genetic Algorithm) has the virtues of overflowing coding, and decoding, assigning complex information flexibly. GA is calculating the percentage of mental disorder. We proposed using different algorithm to identify the mentally challenged persons.
Now days, the task of face recognition is widely used application of image analysis as well as pattern recognition. In biometric area of the research, automatically face & face expression recognition attracts researcher’s interest. For classifying facial expressions into different categories, it is necessary to extract important facial features which contribute in identifying proper and particular expressions. Recognition and classification of human facial expression by computer is an important issue to develop automatic facial expression recognition system in vision community. In this paper the facial expression recognition system is proposed.
Efficient Facial Expression and Face Recognition using Ranking MethodIJERA Editor
Expression detection is useful as a non-invasive method of lie detection and behaviour prediction. However, these facial expressions may be difficult to detect to the untrained eye. In this paper we implements facial expression recognition techniques using Ranking Method. The human face plays an important role in our social interaction, conveying people's identity. Using human face as a key to security, the biometrics face recognition technology has received significant attention in the past several years. Experiments are performed using standard database like surprise, sad and happiness. The universally accepted three principal emotions to be recognized are: surprise, sad and happiness along with neutral.
USER EXPERIENCE AND DIGITALLY TRANSFORMED/CONVERTED EMOTIONSIJMIT JOURNAL
In human natural interaction (human-human interaction), humans use speech beside the non-verbal cues
like facial expressions movements and gesture movements to express themselves. However, in (humancomputer
interactions), computer will use the non-verbal cues of human beings to determine the user
experience and usability of any software or application on the computer. We introduce a new model called
Measuring User Experience using Digitally Transformed/Converted Emotions (MUDE) which measures
two metrics of user experience(satisfaction and errors) , and compares them with SUS questionnaire results
by conducting an experiment for measuring the usability and user’s experience.

Tech transfer making it as a risk free approach in pharmaceutical and biotech iniaemedu
Tech transfer is a common methodology for transferring new products or an existing
commercial product to R&D or to another manufacturing site. Transferring product knowledge to the
manufacturing floor is crucial and it is an ongoing approach in the pharmaceutical and biotech
industry. Without adopting this process, no company can manufacture its niche products, let alone
market them. Technology transfer is a complicated, process because it is highly cross functional. Due
to its cross functional dependence, these projects face numerous risks and failure. If anidea cannot be
successfully brought out in the form of a product, there is no customer benefit, or satisfaction.
Moreover, high emphasis is in sustaining manufacturing with highest quality each and every time. It
is vital that tech transfer projects need to be executed flawlessly. To accomplish this goal, risk
management is crucial and project team needs to use the risk management approach seamlessly.

1. INTRODUCTION
A facial expression results from one or more motions or positions of the muscles of the
face. These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers. Facial
expressions are a form of nonverbal communication. They are a primary means of
conveying social information among humans, but also occur in most other mammals and
some other animal species.
Humans can adopt a facial expression as a voluntary action. However, because
expressions are closely tied to emotion, they are more often involuntary. It can be nearly
impossible to avoid expressions for certain emotions, even when it would be strongly
desirable to do so; a person who is trying to avoid insult to an individual he or she finds
highly unattractive might nevertheless show a brief expression of disgust before being
able to reassume a neutral expression. The close link between emotion and expression
can also work in the other direction; it has been observed that voluntarily assuming an
expression can actually cause the associated emotion.
Some expressions can be accurately interpreted even between members of different
species- anger and extreme contentment being the primary examples. Others, however,
are difficult to interpret even in familiar individuals. For instance, disgust and fear can be
tough to tell apart.
Because faces have only a limited range of movement, expressions rely upon fairly
minuscule differences in the proportion and relative position of facial features, and
reading them requires considerable sensitivity to same. Some faces are often falsely read
as expressing some emotion, even when they are neutral, because their proportions
naturally resemble those another face would temporarily assume when emoting.
Expression implies a revelation about the characteristics of a person, a message about
something internal to the expresser. In the context of the face and nonverbal

communication, expression usually implies a change of a visual pattern over time, but as
a static painting can express a mood or capture a sentiment, so too the face can express
relatively static characteristics. The concept of facial expression, thus, includes:
1. a characteristic of a person that is represented, i.e., the signified;
2. a visual configuration that represents this characteristic, i.e., the signifier;
3. the physical basis of this appearance, or sign vehicle, e.g., the skin, muscle
movements, fat, wrinkles, lines, blemishes, etc.; and
4. typically, some person or other perceiver that perceives and interprets the signs.
Facial Action Coding System
FACS is anatomically based and allows the reliable coding of any facial action in terms
of the smallest visible unit of muscular activity. These smallest visible units are called
Action Units (AU), each referred to by a numerical code. • With FACS, data collection is
independent of data interpretation. There is no relation between the code and the meaning
of the facial action. As a consequence, coding is independent of prior assumptions about
prototypical emotion expressions.
2. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Some examples of feelings that can be expressed are:
• Anger
• Concentration
• Confusion
• Contempt
• Desire
• Disgust
• Excitement

4. International Journal of Computer Engineering &Technology
• Fear
• Frustration
• Glare
• Happiness
• Sadness
• Snarl
• Surprise
The study of human facial expressions has many aspects, from computer simulation and
analysis to understanding its role in art, nonverbal communication, and the emotional
process. Many questions about facial expressions remain unanswered and some areas are
relatively unexplored. To get a broad picture of the kinds of questions that have been
asked, answers to some of these questions, and the scientific research about the face that
needs to be completed to answer them, see the online document Understanding the Face:
Report to the National Science Foundation. Facial expressions and the ability to
understand them are important for successful interpersonal relations, so improving these
skills is often sought. See the Guide: How to Read Face for tips on improving your
abilities.

Step 1: Capture data For realism, motion capture points of a human speaking must be
captured that encompass the entire phonetic alphabet and facial gestures and expressions.
Step 2: Choose feature points from mocap data
• A set of points from mocap data must be selected for use as the “feature points.”
• Only the motion of feature points is needed for animating a model.
Step 3: Select same feature points on model

Given information about vector movement of motion capture points, each feature point is
moved and then neighbors are moved according to weights.
4. TOOLS FOR STUDYING FACIAL EXPRESSION PRODUCED
BY MUSCULAR ACTION
The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is use to measure facial expressions by
identifying the muscular activity underlying transient changes in facial appearance.
Researchers use in facial analysis to determine the elementary behaviors that pictures of
facial expressions portray.
The FACS Affect Interpretation Database (FACSAID) is a tool for understanding what
the muscular actions that FACS measures mean in terms of psychological concepts.
FACSAID interprets the facial expressions in terms of meaningful scientific concepts.
3D DATABASE
3D facial models have been extensively used for 3D face recognition and 3D face
animation, the usefulness of such data for 3D facial expression recognition is
unknown. To foster the research in this field, we created a 3D facial expression
database , which includes 100 subjects with 2500 facial expression models.
The database presently contains 100 subjects (56% female, 44% male), ranging age from
18 years to 70 years old, with a variety of ethnic/racial ancestries, including White,
Black, East-Asian, Middle-east Asian, Indian, and Hispanic Latino. Each subject
performed seven expressions in front of the 3D face scanner. With the exception of the
neutral expression, each of the six prototypic expressions (happiness, disgust, fear,
angry, surprise and sadness) includes four levels of intensity. Therefore, there are 25
instant 3D expression models for each subject, resulting in a total of 2,500 3D facial
expression models in the database. Associated with each expression shape model, is a
6
7. International Journal of Computer Engineering &Technology
corresponding facial texture image captured at two views (about +45° and -45°). As a
result, the database consists of 2,500 two-view’s texture images and 2,500 geometric
shape models.
CONCLUSIONS
Expressions of an actor can be virtually built and coded in a small set of real number. We
can measure face expressions with two cameras to deduce its correlations with principal
expressions. A recognition software makes two images of a 3D object and compares it to
a reference (neutral face) then a dynamic structural software analyses the comparison
(digitized expression) in the modal basis of the reference. This modal basis can be built
by a mathematic process (natural modes basis) or be modified by introducing specific
expressions (sadness, happiness, anger, surprise) which are semantic modes. This process
can be used in Human Machine Interface as a dynamic input (3D reading of an actor
intention) or output (3D dynamic avatar)
