We just launched our first version of SMILE for Android. It detects smiles, ranks them and puts them in a world map. You can get it for $0.99 at the Google Android Store. (Just type Smile for Android on Google).

Smile Analysis

Anatomy of the Smile.
The upper and lower lips frame the display zone of the smile. Within this framework, the components of the smile are the teeth and the gingival scaffold. The soft-tissue determinants of the display zone are lip thickness, intercommissure width, interlabial gap, smile index (width/height), and gingival architecture. Although the commissures of the lips form the lateral borders of the smile, the eye can perceive inner and outer commissures, as delineated by the innermost and outermost confluences, respectively, of the vermillion of the lips at the corners of the mouth. The inner commissure is formed by the mucosa overlying the buccinator muscle where it inserts with the orbicularis oris muscle fibers at the modiolus.

Fatigue Detection

Driver fatigue detection is determined by monitoring the driver’s grip force on the steering wheel, based on the variation in steering grip force due to fatigue or loosing alertness. Steering grip force data is obtained by using two resistive force sensors attached to the steering wheel and connected to a personal computer with the aid of a data acquisition module.

News on Facial Recognition

Researchers have announced a radical new way to automate face recognition. With it, they even can unmask a suspect wearing a disguise. There is a drive to discover a better way to attach a name to a face.

Facial Expression Analysis

Facial expression communicates information about emotions, regulates interpersonal behavior and person perception, indexes physiologic functioning, and is essential to evaluating preverbal infants. Current human-observer methods of facial expression analysis are labor intensive and difficult to standardize across laboratories and over time.
