Facial Expression - Science topic

We use intonation or facial expression while we are talking to each other. But, in the case of posting short texts, the story is different. Online users used to use emoticons ;-))) After a while, tele-communication companies started introducing picto-graphics called "Emoji " which are very popular these days. People use them in short texts they send or post because they are useful in conveying users’ feelings. Despite their wide use, we still do not understand the patterns in their usage.

Is it possible to claim that emoji is a new set of symbols forming a language? If yes, can we show this language can reflect the feelings better than the other traditional languages?

For my research I want tot test the influence of distance according to Hall's (1966) interpersonal distances (intimate, personal, social and public) on facial expression (negative or positive). Since both my independent and dependent variable are categorical ordinal data I thought of using Spearman's correlation. Is that the right statistical method?

this database contains 494,414 face images from 10,575 actors of IMDb. Face images comprise random pose variations, illumination, facial expression, and resolution.

I need to remove the background and take the front pos of the face image.

The software will be used for UX and marketing studies where the participants attend remotely by their laptop or PC (with camera on it)

What is the most comprehensive and the best software company offering eye tracking and facial expression analysis ?

Facial expression recognition software

In the last week, one of my journal got rejected from International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction. Now I want to resubmit it in another journal. If anybody suggest me a Q2 or Q3 journals. The title and abstract of the journal is given below:

Title: Dynamic User Experience for efficiency enhancement based on facial expressions

Abstract: The main motive of Human-Computer Interaction is to make human comfortable while working with interactive computing device so that it can increase human efficiency and release the human trouble and saves humans’ time. In this paper, we recognize the face first then change the UI automatically based on his facial expression. Some of our personas also proposed the similar idea of building a system that would play music based on their facial expression. These scenarios gave us the idea of making an integrated system of dynamic user experience based on facial expression. So, we started to collect the data of our paper-based on questionnaires and interview approaches. Then made some low fidelity prototype during requirement gathering phase. We also made some high-fidelity prototypes using Axure RP to show the stakeholders the likely output of this paper. In the new phase, we have used the software engineering model and then implemented our code in visual studio with live server extension. Then we have followed the cognitive walkthrough model as our evaluation method. During the evaluation, our stakeholders need not have provided any input manually and it was easy to earn to use the system. We found that there should be a high-speed internet connection and we have to use VPN to handle some issues. The user was not feeling fatigued or discomfort at all because it is very easy to learn. Anyone can use it and who wants to use it just need to be in front of the camera that’s it. So, the user was very much comfortable and happy to use our system.

Thanks in advance.

Where can I find the whole dataset of Whitehill's paper: The Faces of Engagement: Automatic Recognition of Student Engagement from Facial Expressions, and Amanjot kaur's paper" Prediction and Localization of Student Engagement in the Wild. It says open for research, but could not find. Or any sugessions for finding these two dataset.

Hello, Scientists and Researchers,

I have time-based data of Facial muscle movements and their related protocol coding of the verbal utterances (30 min). I have a total of 17 facial muscle movements coded with their intensities (from 0 to 5 on a continuous scale, 0=being minimum and 5 being the maximum intensity). Also, I have 8 codes assigned to the verbal utterances produced for 30 min. What kind of time series data analysis should I do to find meaningful patterns in my data? Any help would be great.

Most of existing works focus on frontal facial expression

Hi, I'm currently doing my psychology undergraduate dissertation. I'm doing a dissertation of facial expression including topics like emotions, emotion recognition, facial detector and anything related to this field of research. I would like to ask some tips on books to buy (excluding paul ekman which I already have gotten through) and some journal articles.

I am currently working on emotion recognition. I am looking for a dataset that contains labeled image files for emotion (i.e. happiness, sadness, etc).

I've found several dataset but not exactly what I need.

· Google facial expression comparison dataset

There is no label (like emotion categories) for dataset.

· FER

The dataset does not include image files. Instead, pixel values of images are stored in CSV files.

· The Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) Database

Small dataset

· CK+

Small dataset

If you know a large dataset, could you please inform me? Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

Recently I came across Computer Expression Recognition Toolbox (CERT) for facial expression analysis but it seems they no longer support anymore.

I am looking for an opensource tool that I can detect eyebrow-raising/ eyelid tightening/ blink data. Can you please recommend any?

Can anyone recommend an emotional gestures database, which is freely available to download? I am interested in full body gestures database, not just upper part of the body.

I am looking for softwares which can analyse the facial expression of emotion of previously recorded therapy sessions. As far as I know facereader and emotion are the only automated softwares on the market which can analyse also previously recorded videos. Grateful for any support! Many thanks,

Ghazaleh bailey

As I'm approaching the end of my second year as a Psychology student I have to reflect on a topic I would like to use for my dissertation and then find 5 papers related to it. I'm deeply interested in the field of Facial expressions, body language. Therefore I have to find a topic and a title for my dissertation proposal. I'm happy about any recommendations

These are some of the guidelines they gave us:

Ground ideas in literature – avoid plucking ideas out of ‘thin air’

• Be realistic – what can you achieve in the 6 months you will have next year?

• Practicalities:

• Ethics

• Access – hard to reach populations?

I am working on driver drowsiness detection through analyzing facial expression. To evaluate our proposed work we need to run experiments on facial expression data or driver face dataset. Any helping hand will be very thankful.

Dear Researchers,

I was asked to prepare 20 questions based on the below scenario---

There will be 6 students sit in front of pc in e-learning environment. so I need to give them at least 20 questions in order to get their different facial expressions. Is there any sources to get set of questionnaire for facial expression detection? Thank you

I would like to investigate or present the methods of Facial Expressions in Crowdfunding success.. Do you have literature recommendations in this regard?

I am looking for a software that analyzes facial expression of different animals (included humans) on pictures.

Thank you very much!

Looking to potentially purchase new cameras for collecting footage for canine behaviour studies. Ideally we want the quality to be good enough to consider some facial expression/eye movement within a sensible distance. The best thing out there appears to be GoPro in terms of quality of camera, footage quality, battery life, can be synced with the app etc. but they are very pricey particularly for the number of cameras we're after.

Can anyone suggest alternatives or are GoPro's worth it as they're robust and will last?

Thanks!

I am looking for a dataset with both human pose and corresponding face expression, preferably categorized into different emotions.

The only one I have found so far is GEMEP Corpus created by Swiss Center for affective sciences. I attach an example image from their website. This one is labelled as angry.

Thanks for your time and energy in advance.

#Thanks for your help! I have looked up all the databases you have mentioned and there is indeed some interesting ones.

# I guess I should have put it more clearly since several answers mentioned databases that contain human face only. I am looking for database for affective body pose, which means the video/photos I am looking for must include the body part (either upper body or whole body will do). Thanks for your attention again!

Hallo zusammen,

Ich suche noch Umfrageteilnehmer für eine Studie zum Thema Wahrnehmung von um Hilfe bittenden Robotern.

Falls Interesse besteht, würde ich mich über eine Teilnahme freuen.

Das Ganze nimmt etwa 10-15 Minuten in Anspruch.

Zur Umfrage geht es über diesen Link: https://www.soscisurvey.de/FRAME/

Wer Interesse hat, kann nach Abschluss zwei Lose bei Thesius (http://www.thesius.de) sowie Punkte bei Poll-Pool (http://www.poll-pool.com) einlösen.

Gerne darf das Ganze auch als Startpunkt für eine Diskussion über verschiedene Gestaltungsmerkmale, die Vor- und Nachteile verschiedener Ausprägungen derselben sowie über mögliche Interaktionen zwischen den Merkmalen genutzt werden.

Danke schon Mal vorab und viele Grüße

Hello everyone!

I would like to know if there is currently a database of video-clip and / or images depicting virtual agents expressing emotions. I've searched everywhere, but I have not been able to find it...

Hello,

Would you please recommend any existing facial expression dataset that has both genuine vs. posed smiles (other than Dr. Ekman's original work)?

Best wishes,

I want to get your opinion on the importance of observing how student feels as they read and answer an examination questionnaire (or a test). Your responses are highly appreciated.

I am looking for the availability of Databases containing labelled images/videos of Facial Expressions of newborns for the training of Neural Networks.

We are looking for a large database (200+) of pictures of human faces with neutral facial expression, in order to conduct an experiment on nonverbal learning mechanisms. We have difficulties finding appropriate pictures because we need people in the pictures to be  Caucasian, age 20 to 40, with neutral facial expression, and on neutral background. Also, it would be very good if the database is free for research purposes use. Can somebody please suggest the existing database that he or she knows?

Thank you in advance, 

Jovana

I'm looking for facial expression databases images can be downloaded freely for building facial expression recognition application .

I am working on facial expression recognition. i made a dataset contain features & classes of 213 images.

I dont understand why? please help me? if someone has already experienced.

I want to take a deeper look at the facial expressions of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) to analyse their emotional expressions.

For this purpose, I am searching for a ready-to-use software, which combines image processing (e.g., OpenPose, OpenFace) and machine learning. In addition, I would prefer a software that is free (i.e., Open Source) or at least for non-commercial research purposes.

So, I am not looking for methods, but for ready-to-use software, which includes a feature to train my own models. The reason is that every person with PIMD shows very unique behaviour signals and, therefore, you need one model for each emotion of a person.

Finally, I do not need a GUI or visualization, a simple command line application would enough.

A hint would be very helpful.

I need the best algorithm for facial expression which can be used with MATLAB.

what features are extract from face?

I am trying to teach children to recognise people's emotions from body language/gestures as well as facial expressions. However whilst there is plenty of information available which describes facial expressions for emotions I'm struggling to find any information which links specific body language or gestures to certain emotions. I'm aware this is probably because there is far more cultural variation for body language than facial expression but I'm sure there must be some research out there somewhere, so hoping someone may be able to give me a good starting point please.

This is way outside my field and I wouldn't know where to begin.

Can anyone help me about the best method to classify facial expression database? I have tried using FFT and SVM, but still it's just based on the whole features in image. It doesn't necessarily focus to mouth or eye expression. Thank you

I'm wondering whether eye movement, facial expression or EEG signal can be used to calculate the attention level on the content when a subject is watching a film, an advertisement video or any other kind of videos?

Could any one give me some light on this?

For an experiment I am conducting for my master thesis on emotion concepts in two different languages I would like to do a labelling task. The participats will be asked to name emotions from pictures of human facial expression.

Does someone know where I can find those pictures, maybe from the stimuli of previous experiments?

Is there relationship between facial expression and environmental factors(weather/climate)? And between facial expression and economic condition?

We want find out if facial expression can globally/universally be the same for emotional expressions such as anger, excitement, fear, disgust and joy; irrespective of factors such as race, environment, economic situation and socio-cultural background

Can anyone share some ideas/papers on physical Fatigue detection by monitoring facial features

I am conducting an experiment examining the effect of background music on memory for facial expressions.

IV has 3 levels (No music, happy music, sad music)

DVs are: 1- Total recall score 2-Accuracy of happy facial expression recall (correct happy facial expressions recalled divided by total number of happy facial expressions) 3- Accuracy of sad facial expression recall (correct sad facial expressions recalled divided by total number of sad facial expressions)

I want to check if (1) happy music significantly affects the DVs. (2) Sad Music significantly affects the DV.

I tried MANOVA (with the help of youtube) but I'm not sure how to analyze the results.

Thank you!

I am doing a research on facial expressions for kids among 18 and 36 months, for this reason I would like to known If you could give some advice

i am working on infant cry detection system, i want to detect infant cry by facial

expression, so what are features of the image i should extract to do with deep

learning algorithms. how it is done?

Research on the recognition of facial expression of emotions often seems to rely on pictures on which actors show different acted facial emotions (e. g. they are not genuinely surprised or angry, etc.) I was wondering wether results would be different with the use of real "authentic" facial emotions. Does anyone have one or two papers on the subject to suggest?

Hello, i'm working on a research about source localization involved in face processing.  I need to do a statistical comparison between two conditions: face perception and scrambled face perception; what software can i use to represent these statistical maps on the subjects MRI?

thanks

I'm trying to find papers on how people with facial disfigurements feel and react to their facial expressions not being recognised or misunderstood. I'm working on a paper about affective computing, which uses facial recognition software to enhance the users' experience. I want to know what happens if people with facial disfigurements use it and what their reactions would be.

Any help on this would be perfect.

thank you

We have studied the impact of shape, color, and most recently, game characters' expressions on learners' emotion and, as a result, on their learning outcomes. What other design elements have been found to induce positive (or negative) emotions?

Hello dear researchers

sorry about this pictures that I uploaded.

my theses is about Facial expressions but I didn't faced with this kind of expressions so I'm asking about their names.

Frist I thought it is joy but now I'm confused.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

As Viola-Jones algorithm is used for 2D image

facial expression, emotion recognition, machine learning

I want to assess sensitivity to subtle emotional expressions, and I'm interested in using "morphed" faces (e.g. 10% increments of a given emotion between neutral and full emotion). Do anyone know about any such datasets that are openly available?

Thank you!

I'm currently working on my master thesis which is about ego-depletion and facial expression control.

I can detect the AUs of participants and would like to map those AUs to arousal and valence so that I can compare them with participants' self-report.

Is there any research on this topic?

Thank you!

I am working on a Facial Emotion Recognition task and for that I need a database that consists of facial emotions from USA sample. Specifically, facial expression should differ in terms of emotions (defined by valence and arousal).

The topic of my study is Emotional communication. Categorical measures of emotional somatic and facial expression will be assessed with the STAI serving as the outcome variable in the AVONA.

Dear fellow researcher,

in a project we aim to measure emotions in real-time to loop this information back into a gamification module. We plan to integrate mainly body cues and facial expressions, but at least in the lab we also look at GSR, heartrate and brain signals. Can anyone recommend a solution (software library, development kit etc. - not a lab software) which integrates such signals and generates emotional states? We search for something like the SHORE kit (facial expressions), only with more modalities.

Best, Oliver 

I need to visualize the effects of teratogens on human development. Can anyone direct me to documents or multimedia that simulate the effect of teratogens on facial features? I would like to see an illustration of an individual's face with, e.g., fetal alcohol syndrome next to a simulated image of what he/she *would* have looked like without the damage. Thanks in advance.

Hi Professor(s)

I am working on facial expression recognition.I need to use BU-3DFE database to do experiments, but i don't understand the structure of the database, When i open the *.wrl and *.bnd files, there are a lot of data that i don't know its specific meaning.

Suppose that there is a positive and negative judgement for three facial expressions( Happy, Sad, Angry).  The data are as following.

             Happy  Sad  Angry

Postive    18      3         5

Negative   2       17      15

I want to calclute the unbiased hit rate for each expressions. How to calculate them?

Who knows how to use the tensor to represent facial expressions? Or what‘s the tensor?

Thanks.

and how do you use fuzzy logic to detect the facial expression of person in image?

Hello! I'm looking trying to find Stimulus sets consisting of facial photos of Arab-Mulsim people. In the best of worlds previously used in Imlicit Attitude tests (IAT). I thought this would be easy, but i've scored nil so far. Any input would be greatly appriciated! /Leo

Can someone direct me to a validated visual stimulus set of faces (both sexes) containing emotional expressions (happiness, anger etc.), as well as neutral expressions (coughing, sneezing etc.).

Thanks

Positive and negative reactions of an audience through facial or bodily expressions

I'm currently doing a research project on the facial display of complex emotions using FACS. It involves assigning FACS codes to a number of still pictures of posed emotional expressions. I've successfully completed the FACS coder training, but ideally, I need someone else to independently verify my coding. I'd be happy to reciprocate by helping out with any coding needs that you might have yourself. 

I am working on emotion recognition using facial expressions. I have to classify static images into one of the following (happy, surprise, sad, angry, etc.,) using characteristics of the face image. i have cropped the image into various parts such as eyes, nose, eyebrows etc. but i don't know what to consider and  store as features of the data set, and in which form it is? if it is some numerical values for each of these features to store, how to get those values?

suggest me some good papers or books to refer? or MATLAB functions?

Hello,

Generally expression synthesis algorithms impose one of the six universal expressions on a given expression-neutral face image. I wish to impose a combination of these basic expressions on a given face image. Can anyone please help me in this regard?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I am looking for all you know, just for comparison. I am not looking for methods, but for ready-to-use software which includes the trained models.

What I know so far:

I have a problem to act a smile detect code and other facial actions.

The focus on facial expressions in art is commonly mentioned in caricature or in mangas and animation (ex: in "Art and Illusion" of Ernst Gombrich, "Grapholexique du Manga" of Denis Sigal and "Understanding comics" of Scott McCloud's respectively) and rarely in classical western artworks (ex: "L'art de la grimace" of Martial Guédron). However, I wonder if some research are led in facial expressions in tribal (or primitive) art.

We are looking for an emotional body database (such as from Atkinson, deGelder etc) but that includes all 6 basic emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise & disgust. Ideally realistic, full-light stimuli, but point-light might be an option. Can anyone help? Thank you

Hello Researchers, I need public a database on Arousal-Valence which is only based on Facial Expressions (e.g., Surprise, Sadness,...., Happiness) for my ongoing research on Emotion Profiling. Thanks. 

I need MATLAB/C++ implementation of any recently published algorithm for facial expression synthesis/transfer. Can anyone please help me in this regard? Thanks in advance for your help.

My knowledge in this area is limited, Thanks in advance.

I'm desperately looking for a stimulus set of dynamic emotional faces which includes more than 5 different actors per sex. Can somebody help ?

The Facial Action Coding System is built to code the intensity of each action unit. But in studies on emotional facial expressions, how the intensity of global expressions is coded ? I have not found articles that indicate if some rules exist when someone want to measure the global intensity of an expression (e.g. not AU 6+12 separately, but the smile as a whole).

Many thanks for considering my request.

I would like to work on facial expression recognition, and I am new to image processing also. So please help me in finding good books on MATLAB on image Processing/ facial expression in programming way.

I have tested them in my doctoral research and would like to know whether it is subjective or can be tested objectively who has no prior knowledge of them. I will be happy to provide necessary information such as how to notate, how to use and what to look and when. Please feel free to message me.

I'm testing autistic subjects on how well they can read natural not-posed facial expressions.
