Automatic Analysis of Facial Expressions

Facial behaviour is our preeminent means to communicating affective and social signals. This talk discusses a number of components of human facial behaviour, how they can be automatically sensed and analysed by computers, what is the past research in the field conducted by the iBUG group at Imperial College London, and how far we are from enabling computers to sense and recognise human facial expressions and behaviour.
