Integrated System
for Facial Expression Recognition
The goal for ISFER project is to develop an automated system for facial
expression recognition.
Since 1992 the research in this field was done by the Knowledge
Based Systems group of the TU Delft. In the course of the years a lot
of working prototypes have been developed for different parts of the process
of analyzing the face. Some of these prototypes are based on neural networks
and fuzzy logic, while others are based on image processing techniques.
In 1996 the Human Emotion Recognition Clips Utilised Expert System
(HERCULES) was developed by M.
Pantic. This system perfoms reasoning about the emotions based on characteristics
of the facial picture which can be obtained in automated way.
In 1997 the idea of the common workbench for all the programs developed
so far became reality thanks to M.
van Schouwen and J.
Vollering. Also in this year the name Integrated System for Facial
Expression Recognition (ISFER) was given in order to group all the works
in this field.
