ABSTRACT:
Human Emotion Recognition Clips Utilised Expert System - HERCULES forms
part of an Automated System for Non-verbal Communication. It was designed
to analyse a shown facial expression, based on psychological study called
FACS, and to interpret it in terms of six basic emotions. HERCULES now
accepts manually made measurements on a full-face photograph and returns
a description of the shown facial expression, quantitative measurement
of it, its interpretation in terms of the six basic emotions and quantitative
measurement of that that emotional interpretation. Although the current
version of HERCULES operates with a manual input, its kernel is built to
accept facial measurements made automatically and processed in parallel.
However, a full automated real-time version of the system as well as dealing
with inaccurate, redundand and faulty input is still under development.
