Abstract(in English) This study aimed to define an effective way to synthesize facial impression of gracefulness by the impression transfer vector method and to confirm validity of impression transformation by psychological rating experiments. Face images are physically represented in high-dimensional vectors by separating the shape and texture information, and variations in their appearance are coded into a smaller number of parameters by applying PCA, and thus a morphable model of face images is constructed with these parameters. Based on preliminary psychological experiments, some of the parameters were found sensitive to gracefulness of the faces. Image manipulation method based on impression transfer vector was then applied using the selected parameters. Psychological evaluation of impression transformation was conducted by applying semantic differential method and factor analysis. The obtained results clearly indicated that the impression transfer vector utilizing the selected components can better modulate gracefulness of the face image corresponding to the psychological rating.
