Abstract
This paper presents a method for the representation of mood in FACS-based facial expressions. To achieve this, a mapping of FACS Action Units (AUs) into the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance (PAD) space is done. The PAD space is used as our mood model. From this mapping a set of rules are obtained, which compute the activation areas and intensities of each AU in the PAD. To validate these rules, we conducted an experiment, shedding light on the AUs combinations that result in recognizable expressions of certain mood.
