ABSTRACT
This demonstration paper presents the FaceReader framework where human face image and skin color variations are analyzed for observing facial expressions, vital signs including but not limited to average heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and also the stress and confidence levels of the person. Remote monitoring of the facial and vital signs could be useful for wide range of applications. FaceReader uses active appearance modeling for facial analysis and novel signal processing techniques for heart rate and variability estimation. The performance has been objectively evaluated and psychological guidelines for stress measurements are incorporated in the framework for analysis.

Expression-invariant face recognition by facial expression transformations
In this paper, we present a method of expression-invariant face recognition that transforms input face image with an arbitrary expression into its corresponding neutral facial expression image. When a new face image with an arbitrary expression is ...
Framework for reliable, real-time facial expression recognition for low resolution images
Automatic recognition of facial expressions is a challenging problem specially for low spatial resolution facial images. It has many potential applications in human-computer interactions, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior ...
Static topographic modeling for facial expression recognition and analysis
Facial expression plays a key role in non-verbal face-to-face communication. It is a challenging task to develop an automatic facial expression reading and understanding system, especially, for recognizing the facial expression from a static image ...
