Abstract
We developed a method for analyzing the facial expressions of a person having a conversation on a videophone. This was implemented on a wireless local area network, consisting of two personal computers and a router; the subject and the operator are placed in front of each computer. The module contains a function for determining the reference frame and for locally searching for the mouth area in the image to determine the most appropriate position for each frame.
