Voice Driven Emotion Reconstruction Buchkatalog

For an alternative to videophone which requires wide bandwidth, this research attempts to realize facial expressions reconstruction based on voice information by proposing a new system called "Voice Driven Emotion Recognizer Mobile Phone (VDERM)". This system intends to reconstruct facial expressions at the receiving end based on the extracted emotions from the received voice tone. The emotion recognizer system at the receiver side identifies the emotion state of the received speech signal and displays the corresponding facial expression of that particular emotion. Thus, there is no need to transmit the actual video signal from the transmitter side and therefore, the existing 2G mobile phone infrastructures can be used. A few papers have been published in the course of completing this research as listed in the appendix. Aishah has continued to publish a journal paper entitled 'Voice Driven Emotion Recognizer Mobile Phone: Proposal and Evaluations' in the International Journal of Information Technology and Web Engineering ( Vol. 3, Issue. 1, March 2008, pp. 53-69) as an extension to the previous work.
