Abstract:
For the computer to interact intelligently with human
users, computers should be able to recognize emotions,
by analyzing the human’s affective state, physiology and
behavior. In this paper, we present a survey of research
conducted on face and body gesture and recognition. In
order to make human-computer interfaces truly natural,
we need to develop technology that tracks human
movement, body behavior and facial expression, and
interprets these movements in an affective way.
Accordingly in this paper, we present a framework for a
vision-based multimodal analyzer that combines face and
body gesture and further discuss relevant issues.
