Abstract

This paper describes the visual components of the Virtual Miyazawa Kenji Project [1] that aims to restore Japanese famous writer, poet, and essayist Miyazawa Kenji as an artificial system. The method introduced can be adopted to the other person who have left behind works with deep insights. Namely, a construction of quasi-personality in computers is the main target of the project. For this aim, this paper tries to achieve a facial expression recognition method and synthesis method by means of the same discipline. This discipline is implemented as a database named Facial Expression Database (FED). A linear system identification approach [3] is introduced to represent the typical movements observed in the facial expressions. The concrete methods and preliminary implementations are shown in the paper.
