The modes of interaction with systems are becoming evermore varied and sophisticated. Many of our research projects exploit the visual analysis of the end-user in order to improve human-machine interaction. The investigation of gaze and visual attention, the identification of movements, the tracking of facial muscular movements and the recognition of facial expressions are exploited to better comprehend the user's intention in order to supply it with a more user-friendly system. 3, record 1, English, - human%2Dcomputer%20interaction

When studying the conveyance of information between humans and machines, there is a distinction to be observed among three closely related concepts: "communication," which is the unidirectional transmission of a message; "interaction," which is a type of bidirectional communication, but not necessarily oral; and "dialogue," which is a verbal interaction between two active participants. 7, record 1, English, - human%2Dcomputer%20interaction

Facial recognition is a highly specialized process, and is incredibly accurate.... But when we are in a very emotional situation, are we still as good at facial recognition as we are in regular situations? Past researchers have found that in these strong emotional contexts, positive or negative, facial recognition becomes slower and much less accurate. 2, record 5, English, - facial%20recognition

In May 2003, the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) adopted new passport specifications for a globally interoperable system, to be based on passports embedded with electronic chips containing a biometric of the bearer. The primary biometric selected by ICAO is facial recognition. Canada will deploy this biometric to enhance the security of the passport application process and to issue a biometrically-enabled smart chip passport in early 2005. The Department of Foreign Affairs will receive funding to implement the Strategy. 2, record 8, English, - Passport%20Security%20Strategy

Ces spécifications seront fondées sur des passeports munis de puces électroniques contenant des renseignements biométriques sur leur titulaire. La principale application biométrique retenue est la reconnaissance faciale. Le Canada déploiera cette technologie biométrique dans le but d'accroître la sécurité du processus de demande de passeport et d'émettre des passeports dotés d'une puce électronique comportant des caractéristiques biométriques à compter du début de 2005.

The Passport Security Strategy outlined in the National Security Policy places increased emphasis on authenticating the identity of individuals applying for their passports through introduction of a microchip in each passport(the e-Passport) to meet new ICAO standards, the use of facial recognition technology behind the scenes in passport processing, and the repatriation of the printing of passports from Canadian government offices abroad thus assuring that Canadians everywhere will receive the same high-quality document, printed in Canada, regardless of where in the world they apply. 2, record 12, English, - passport%20processing

Comprehension and expression of affect in language-impaired (LI) children : 8 children with developmental language impairment and 8 age-, sex-, socioeconomic-status-, and I.Q.-matched controls were given tests of comprehension and expression of affective intent in spoken language and through facial expression ... On tasks involving emotional facial expression, [these results] were observed: The Li children were more dramatic in their expression of facial affect than were the controls. Children with language impairment appear to have a deficit in affective comprehension and expression that is modality-specific, i.e., limited to vocal affect ... To date little evidence is available as to how emotional facial expression is decoded, specifically whether a bottom-up (data-driven) or a top-down (schema-driven) approach is more appropriate in explaining the decoding of emotions from facial expression. A study is reported ... in which decoders judged emotions from photographs of facial expressions. Stimuli represented a selection of photographs depicted both single muscular movements (action units) in an otherwise neutral face, and combinations of such action units ... Schizophrenics, depressives, patients with anxiety neurosis and normal controls were asked to comment freely for 2 minutes on photographs depicting 7 facial emotional expressions ....
