The purpose of this study was to make a suitable images for korean emotional expressions. KSFI(Korean Standard Facial Image)-AUs was produced from korean standard apperance and FACS(Facial Action coding system)-AUs. For the objectivity of KSFI, the survey was examined about emotion recognition rate and contribution of emotion recognition in facial elements from six-basic emotional expression images(sadness, happiness, disgust, fear, anger and surprise). As a result of the experiment, the images of happiness, surprise, sadness and anger which had shown higher accuracy. Also, emotional recognition rate was mainly decided by the facial element of eyes and a mouth. Through the result of this study, KSFI contents which could be combined AU images was proposed. In this future, KSFI would be helpful contents to improve emotion recognition rate.

In this paper we propose a 3D emotional expression method using a comic model for effective sign-language communications. Until now we have investigated to produce more realistic facial and emotional expression. When representing only emotional expression, however, a comic expression could be better than the real picture of a face. The comic face is a comic-style expression model in which almost components except the necessary parts like eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are discarded. We represent emotional expression using Action Units(AU) of Facial Action Coding System(FACS). Experimental results show a possibility that the proposed method could be used efficiently for sign-language image communications.

In this study, we apply the facial Facial Action Coding System for coding the muscular system anatomical approach facial expressions to be displayed in response to a change in sensitivity. To verify by applying the virtual character the Duchenne smile to the original. I extracted the Duchenne smile by inducing experiment of emotion (man 2, woman 2) and the movie theater department students trained for the experiment. Based on the expression that has been extracted, I collect the data of the facial muscles. Calculates the frequency of expression of the face and other parts of the body muscles around the mouth and lips, to be applied to the virtual character of the data. Orbicularis muscle to contract end of lips due to shrinkage of the Zygomatic Major is a upward movement, cheek goes up, the movement of the muscles, facial expressions appear the outer eyelid under the eye goes up with a look of smile. Muscle movement of large muscle and surrounding Zygomatic Major is observed together (AU9) muscles around the nose and (AU25, AU26, AU27) muscles around the mouth associated with openness. Duchen smile occurred in the form of Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomatic Major moves at the same time. Based on this, by separating the orbicularis muscle that is displayed in the form of laughter and sympathy to emotional feelings and viable large muscle by the will of the person, by applying to the character of the virtual, and expression of human I try to examine expression of the virtual character's ability to distinguish.

In this paper we propose a method of representing emotional experessions and lip shapes for sign language communication using 3-dimensional model. At first we employ the action units (AU) of facial action coding system(FACS) to display all shapes. Then we define 11 basic lip shapes and sounding times of each components in a syllable in order to synthesize the lip shapes more precisely for korean characters. Experimental results show that the proposed method could be used efficiently for the sign language image communication between different languages.

In this paper we propose an emotional expression method using a comic model and special marks for effective sign-language communications. Until now we have investigated to produce more realistic facial and emotional expression. When representing only emotional expression, however, a comic expression could be better than the real picture of a face. The comic face is a comic-style expression model in which almost components except the necessary parts like eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are discarded. In the comic model, we can use some special marks for the purpose of emphasizing various emotions. We represent emotional expression using Action Units(AU) of Facial Action Coding System(FACS) and define Special Unit(SU) for emphasizing the emotions. Experimental results show a possibility that the proposed method could be used efficiently for sign-language image communications.

본 논문에서는 크게 2단계에 걸쳐 다양한 형태의 얼굴을 가진 2차원 애니메이션 상의 캐릭터 얼굴구성요소를 추출하고 표정을 분석한다. 첫 번째 단계에서는, 기존의 얼굴인식 및 표정인식 분야에서 이용되었던 동적메쉬모델을 간소화하여 캐릭터 얼굴에 적용하기 위한 최적의 표준 메쉬모델을 제작하고, 이 모델을 사용하여 얼굴구성요소의 위치 및 형태정보를 추출한다. 두 번째 단계에서는, 앞 단계에서 추출된 3가지 얼굴구성요소(눈썹, 눈, 입)를 사용하여 FACS(Facial Action Coding System)에 정의된 AU(Action Units) 44개 중 12개의 AU를 사용하여 캐릭터의 5까지 기본적인 얼굴 표정에 대해 분석 및 정의한다. 본 논문에서 정의한 AU로 기본적인 5가지 얼굴표정에 대해 표정분석 정확도를 측정하였고, 서로 다른 캐릭터에 실험함으로써 제안된 AU정의의 타당성을 제시한다.

This paper proposes the creation of an android robot head based on the facial action coding system(FACS), and the generation of emotional expressions by FACS. The term android robot refers to robots with human-like appearance. These robots have artificial skin and muscles. To make the expression of emotions, the location and number of artificial muscles had to be determined. Therefore, it was necessary to anatomically analyze the motions of the human face by FACS. In FACS, expressions are composed of action units(AUs), which work as the basis of determining the location and number of artificial muscles in the robots. The android head developed in this study had servo motors and wires, which corresponded to 30 artificial muscles. Moreover, the android head was equipped with artificial skin in order to make the facial expressions. Spherical joints and springs were used to develop micro-eyeball structures, and the arrangement of the 30 servo motors was based on the efficient design of wire routing. The developed android head had 30-DOFs and could express 13 basic emotions. The recognition rate of these basic emotional expressions was evaluated at an exhibition by spectators.

As a key mechanism of the human emotion interaction, Facial Expression is a powerful tools in HRI(Human Robot Interface) such as Human Computer Interface. By using a facial expression, we can bring out various reaction correspond to emotional state of user in HCI(Human Computer Interaction). Also it can infer that suitable services to supply user from service agents such as intelligent robot. In this article, We addresses the issue of expressive face modeling using an advanced active appearance model for facial emotion recognition. We consider the six universal emotional categories that are defined by Ekman. In human face, emotions are most widely represented with eyes and mouth expression. If we want to recognize the human's emotion from this facial image, we need to extract feature points such as Action Unit(AU) of Ekman. Active Appearance Model (AAM) is one of the commonly used methods for facial feature extraction and it can be applied to construct AU. Regarding the traditional AAM depends on the setting of the initial parameters of the model and this paper introduces a facial emotion recognizing method based on which is combined Advanced AAM with Bayesian Network. Firstly, we obtain the reconstructive parameters of the new gray-scale image by sample-based learning and use them to reconstruct the shape and texture of the new image and calculate the initial parameters of the AAM by the reconstructed facial model. Then reduce the distance error between the model and the target contour by adjusting the parameters of the model. Finally get the model which is matched with the facial feature outline after several iterations and use them to recognize the facial emotion by using Bayesian Network.

흔히 DeepFake로 불리는 GAN 기술은 소스 영상과 타겟 이미지를 합성하여 타겟 이미지 내의 사람이 소스 영상에서 나타나도록 합성하는 기술이다. 이러한 GAN 기반 영상 합성 기술은 2018년을 기점으로 급격한 성장세를 보이며 다양한 산업에 접목되어지고 있으나 학습 모델을 얻는 데 걸리는 시간이 너무 오래 소요되고, 감정 표현을 인지하는 데 어려움이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 상기 두가지 문제를 해결하기 위해 Facial Action Coding System(FACS) 및 음성 합성 기술[4]을 적용한 가상 아바타 생성 방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다.
