Fuzzy rules used to synthesize intermediate facial expressions

We provide a set of rules containing the MPEG-4 FAPs (facial animation parameters) accompanied by the corresponding range of values, as measured in a variety of standard image databases. This tool has been made for synthesis purposes, but can also be used for facial expression analysis; the combination of emotional labels to provide intermediate expressions is based on the algorithm proposed in the paper shown below.
