Computer faces: the human Lorenz matrix.

W Musterle, O E Rossler

    Bio Systems
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computer-generated realistic faces, using natural parameters, allow for more intuitive mixing of expressions than manual methods. This approach enables the visualization of dynamic facial expression trajectories, enhancing the study of non-verbal communication.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer vision
    • Psychology
    • Human-computer interaction

    Background:

    • Facial expression research often relies on manual manipulation of static images.
    • Previous methods, like Chernoff faces, visualized data in n-dimensional space but lacked naturalistic expression dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computer-based method for generating realistic, dynamic facial expressions.
    • To explore the naturalistic mixing of basic emotional expressions.
    • To represent complex states as trajectories in a parameter space.

    Main Methods:

    • Generation of realistic faces using 20 continuous primary parameters (muscle tensions, opening factors).
    • Non-linear combination of parameters to create meaningful faces governed by a single intensity parameter.

  • Distinguishing five major meaningful faces: friendliness, surprise, disgust, anger, and grief.

    • Main Results:

    • Computer-generated facial expression mixing proved more natural and easier than manual methods.
    • The system allows for the generation of meaningful facial expression trajectories, not just static points.
    • Introduced the concept of "natural" parameters for facial expression generation.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel approach offers a more intuitive and natural way to study and represent facial expressions computationally.
    • The ability to display expression trajectories opens new avenues for analyzing dynamic emotional states.
    • The method provides a foundation for more sophisticated human-computer interaction and affective computing research.
