In this note, we address the problem of simulating electromyographic signals arising from muscles involved in facial expressions - markedly those conveying affective information -, by relying solely on facial landmarks detected on video sequences. We propose a method that uses the framework of Gaussian Process regression to predict the facial electromyographic signal from videos where people display non-posed affective expressions. To such end, experiments have been conducted on the OPEN EmoRec II multimodal corpus.

Abstract

In this note, we address the problem of simulating electromyographic signals arising from muscles involved in facial expressions - markedly those conveying affective information -, by relying solely on facial landmarks detected on video sequences. We propose a method that uses the framework of Gaussian Process regression to predict the facial electromyographic signal from videos where people display non-posed affective expressions. To such end, experiments have been conducted on the OPEN EmoRec II multimodal corpus.
