Abstract
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is becoming increasingly important these
days. Computer systems form more and more part of our daily life, even
though such systems are often hidden from the user. The trend in HCI is
clearly towards more human-like ways of interacting with systems.
Traditional HCI devices like computer mice and keyboards lose in importance
and are replaced by integrated systems which combine, for example, speech
recognition and gesture recognition (hand, face). In the project face:)me,
a tool for the analysis of facial expressions is developed. Certain
feature points like the eye corners, eye brows, nostrils, and mouth are
tracked in a video sequence and the changes in their positions recorded
in the so called Face Mimic Graph, which can be used later for analysis
and visualisation. The tracking is achieved by a combination of template
matching and other image processing techniques.
