Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Almost all research on facial expression have used photographs or illustrations as stimuli. In this research, 3-D animations obtained from actual facial expressions are used as stimuli to investigate effects of the motion, information from stereo disparity and viewpoints on a recognition of facial expressions. Results of the psychological experiment shows (1) stereo disparity doesn't have advantageous effects on recognition of facial expressions over shading information, (2) a high amount of transmitted information is obtained when shading and motion information was displayed, (3) recognition performance from 45 degree view is more accurate than other views, (4) facial expressions of "surprise" and "happy" are more discriminable than other expressions.
