Comparison of Simplified SE-ResNet and SE-DenseNet for Micro-Expression Classification
Micro-expressions are rapid and subtle facial movements that can reflect the most real emotional state hidden in the human heart. Classifying different micro-expressions is still challenging because of their s...

Heatmap Overlay Using Neutral Body Model for Visualizing the Measured Gaze Distributions of Observers
We propose a method for visualizing where an observer’s gaze focuses on a subject in a still image using a neutral human body model. Generally, two-dimensional (2D) heatmaps are superimposed on still images to...

Subjective Scores and Gaze Distribution in Personality Evaluations: Effect of Subjects’ Clothing on Observers’ Impressions of Them
The clothing that coworkers and others wear in the workplace affects our evaluations of them, including what personality traits we ascribe to them. In this study, we sought to determine whether observers’ subj...

Investigation of Temporal Changes of Gaze Locations During Characteristic Evaluation When Viewing Whole-Body Photos
We investigated how the observer’s gaze locations temporally shift over the body parts of a subject in an image when the observer is tasked to evaluate the subject’s characteristics. We also investigated how t...

Investigation of Motion Video Enhancement for Image-Based Avatars on Small Displays
We investigate a method for enhancing the motion video sequences of an image-based avatar so that the body motion can be perceived as natural on a small display. If some avatar motions are too small, then the ...
