ABSTRACT:
The aim of our project was to develop a method and
a program by which one can automatically generate face drawings expressing
different emotions. For expressing the emotions, we used schematic diagrams
of the eyes, eyebrows and mouth. A small set of data was used to control
the shape and position of these components. Our program contains predefined
values for the six basic expressions (happiness, sadness, anger, fear,
disgust, surprise) and the neutral one. The program supports the mixing
of these expressions also. For verifying the accuracy of the facial expressions,
we used neural networks. The program can also be used for generating face
templates with the eyes, eyebrows and the mouth, which are applicable in
the recognition of facial emotions with template matching.
