 Second Life, this software would also enable the avatars representing system users to act out the feelings of the user captured through facial expressions.
Although there are some facial analysis products on the market, none specifically target the analysis of user facial expressions. Visit the Computational Perception and Robotics Research Group’s website for videos illustrating the algorithm in operation.
Additionally, while most similar systems developed by other researchers focus on just part of expression recognition, the developed prototype does the whole job: 1) locates and monitors the face in the image using an algorithm that works despite changes of illumination or user movement, and 2) classifies the user’s facial expression. Finally, it also incorporates an original algorithm that calculates the likely evolution of the analysed user’s facial expressions.

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have captured a difficult-to-view singular event involving "magnetic reconnection"--the process by which sparse particles and energy around Earth collide producing a quick but mighty explosion--in the Earth's magnetotail, the magnetic environment that trails behind the planet.
Magnetic reconnection has remained a bit of a mystery to scientists. They know it exists and have documented the effects that the energy explosions can...
Biochips have been developed at TU Wien (Vienna), on which tissue can be produced and examined. This allows supplying the tissue with different substances in a very controlled way.
Cultivating human cells in the Petri dish is not a big challenge today. Producing artificial tissue, however, permeated by fine blood vessels, is a much more...
Faster and secure data communication: This is the goal of a new joint project involving physicists from the University of Würzburg. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research funds the project with 14.8 million euro.
In our digital world data security and secure communication are becoming more and more important. Quantum communication is a promising approach to achieve...
On Saturday, 10 November 2018, the research icebreaker Polarstern will leave its homeport of Bremerhaven, bound for Cape Town, South Africa.
When choosing materials to make something, trade-offs need to be made between a host of properties, such as thickness, stiffness and weight. Depending on the application in question, finding just the right balance is the difference between success and failure
Now, a team of Penn Engineers has demonstrated a new material they call "nanocardboard," an ultrathin equivalent of corrugated paper cardboard. A square...
