    • Maja Pantic:
      Automatic Analysis of Facial Behaviour
      • Human face is our preeminent means to identify the other members of our species and communicate affective and social signals. This talk summarises a number of aspects of human face and facial behavior and how they can be automatically sensed and analysed by computers. Past research in the field conducted by the iBUG group at Imperial College London and how far are we from enabling computers to detect, track and recognise human face and facial expressions is discussed in detail.
