脸部测情绪,保罗艾克曼

[图文]读脸人保罗埃克曼人们称他“人肉测谎仪”发布时间: 2010年11月30日13:11 | 进入复兴论坛| 来源:广州日报说谎者绝不该轻率地以为,受骗者都愿意被蒙在鼓里;抓谎者也绝不该轻率地以为,自己有权说破每个谎言。
——保罗·埃克曼《Lie to me》剧照,主角莱特曼博士的原型就是埃克曼。
保罗·埃克曼Paul Ekman(1934-),美国心理学家,加州大学医学院心理学教授,1991年获美国心理学会颁发的杰出科学贡献奖,并被列为二十世纪百位最有影响力的心理学家之一。
他主要研究情绪的表达及其生理活动和人际欺骗等,是这一领域最主要的专家。
他是世界知名的心理学专家,曾经是美国联邦调查局、中情局、移民局的顾问,专门为特工和警察上过面部表情识别培训。
他是FOX热播美剧《Lie to me》的灵感来源,一部商业电视剧仅仅基于一位科学家的研究拍摄,此前从未出现过;他研究出的面部动作编码系统成了动画绘画者们的参考标准,他是皮克斯和工业光魔等动画工作室的情绪表情顾问……他是保罗·埃克曼,人们更习惯称呼他为“人肉测谎仪”。
1/25秒的表情暴露你的真心爆炸案嫌疑犯坐在FBI的审讯室已经4个小时了,FBI确定他在某个教堂埋下了炸药,但他们始终没能撬开嫌疑犯的铁嘴,无法得到确切的埋藏地点。
所有人束手无策,直到莱特曼博士坐在疑犯面前。
只是问了嫌犯几个问题,只是盯着他细碎的表情,甚至都不需要回答,两分钟后他已经找出了炸药的安置点。
这是热播美剧《Lie to me》的开头。
整部《Lie to me》的剧情都围绕着对人类“微表情”的剖析而产生:表情不可能掩盖谎言,而人类情绪在表情上的反应其实是不受文化影响和地域限制的,是全人类共通的。
1/25秒的表情变化,就能暴露你的真心——这是该剧的核心内容。
有媒体报道,这部电视剧在美国收视狂飙,超过3000万人。
这是类型剧中的类型剧,而它的灵感之源就是世界著名的心理学专家保罗·埃克曼。
面部表情编码系统(FACS)-----教程

⾯部表情编码系统(FACS)-----教程【⼈脸肌⾁图】这张图⾥涵盖了⼈脸的⼤部分肌⾁,这些肌⾁也是我们在后⾯的AU介绍⾥要提到的。
为了⽅便下⾯的学习,在这⾥⼤家可以⼀⼀了解下这些肌⾁的名字以及在脸上出现的位置。
【专⽤术语】印堂:位于两眉之间的前额区域。
⿐根:两眼之间⿐⼦的起点。
睑裂:眼睛张开的程度。
上睑沟:介于眉⽑和接触眼球的那⼀部分能折叠进眼窝的上眼睑之间的⽪肤。
下眼睑:下眼睑下⽅可能会出现的的⼀条线或皱纹的地⽅。
脸上可形成永久的⼀条线或皱纹,如果是这样, AU ⼀定会使其加深。
如果不是, AU应该会使它出现。
睑颊沟:从眼⾓起始,在下眼睑下边并平⾏于下眼睑沿着⾯颊⾻⼀侧的⼀个褶皱或者沟。
⿐翼:构成⿐孔的⾁质⽪肤。
⿐唇沟:从⿐翼开始经过嘴⾓外侧向下的⼀道沟或褶皱。
有些⼈来说是永久刻在脸上的,如果是这样,AU⼀定会使其加深。
如果不是某些AU会使其出现在⼤多数⼈的脸。
⼈中:⿐尖正下端,在上唇中间的⼀个凹陷。
下颌:覆盖下巴⾻头的⽪肤。
巩膜:眼球⽩⾊的部分。
框下三⾓区:⿐唇沟、睑颊沟和脸部外侧曲线组成的三⾓区⽤于描述唇的⼀些术语常常也被⽤来描述⼈脸的其他部分,相同的基本含义都适⽤。
举例:·收窄常常被⽤来描述睑裂的变⼩.·放宽常常被⽤来描述睑裂的增加.·放宽经常被⽤在关于⿐孔扩⼤上⾯,甚⾄涉及到AUS 25,26,27中嘴部张开的程度。
·铺平常⽤来降低涉及到au20的脸颊区域的弯曲程度。
·紧缩常常被⽤来描述上下眼睑.注:以上的术语,就是你在学习这个教程时会经常⽤到的重要术语!请熟记这些术语以及它们的意思!AU1——抬起眉⽑内⾓AU1的外显变化1. 拉动中部的眉⽑向上2. ⼤多数⼈会产⽣⼀个⼋字形状的眉⽑3. 导致前额中部的⽪肤产⽣⽔平的褶皱。
这些褶皱通常不会贯穿全部的前额⽽是限制在中部。
褶皱可能是弧线,皱褶中部⽐尾端提升的⾼⼀些,⽽不是⽔平。
那些褶皱可能不会出现在⼉童或幼⼉的脸上。

微表情测量工具——FACS(老王整理编写,最完整)

微表情测量工具——FACS(FACIAL ACTION CODING SYSTEM)(老王整理撰写)1+2+5+25+26=惊讶4+5+24=愤怒这样的数学题估计没多少人可以求证出来。
但是对于情绪心理学的研究者来说,这是心理学上的一个创举,也是对人类的一大贡献,它的名字叫FACS(FACIAL ACTION CODING SYSTEM),中文翻译叫做“面部运动编码系统”。
Paul Ekman,这个名字有人很陌生有人确很熟悉,如果看过美剧《Lie to me》一定为主角Cal Lightman那神乎其技的“读心”能力印象深刻。
其实,该剧的幕后心理学顾问就是Ekman教授,并且Lightman的背景是根据他来改编而成的。
对微表情非常感兴趣的朋友们应该对他有所了解,也肯定读过他的书——《说谎》,《情绪的解析》等等。
就是这样一个伟大的心理学家在1976年和研究伙伴作了深入的研究,(通过观察和生物反馈)他们描绘出了不同的脸部肌肉动作和不同表情的对应关系从而创制了FACS。
他们根据人脸的解剖学特点,将其划分成若干既相互独立又相互联系的运动单元(AU——Action Unit),并分析了这些运动单元的运动特征及其所控制的主要区域以及与之相关的表情,并给出了大量的照片说明。
FACS 该套系统将许多现实生活中人类的表情进行了分类,它是如今面部表情的肌肉运动的权威参照标准,也被心理学家和动画片绘画者使用。
有人会问:“我们又不是心理学家,也不是FBI或者警察,学这个对平时生活有什么用”其实道理很简单,对于FACS可学可不学,但是对于向往更精确的观察表情,对之后表情分析有重大意义,FACS会帮助我们对面部的运动了解的更深入,不容易出现张冠李戴的问题。
举个例子来说:对比这两张图,左侧是6+12,右侧是6+12+17。
多了一块肌肉的运动,情绪就会差很多,虽然不学FACS也能看出区别,但如果右侧的17的强度很小呢是不是会忽略一些情绪的信息我想可能会的。

Although every attempt was made to use examples that show only the AUs intended to be represented, this goal was not always achieved because of the difficulty of eliminating all other actions from the performance of the intended AUs. Below are complete FACS scores for each of the example images. These scores contain the intensity score, which is usually not emphasized in the AU descriptions of Section A, a unilateral prefix if unilateral or an asymmetry score (a scoring option) if asymmetrical. These scores allow the careful student to determine more precisely what causes certain appearances in the example images. An example may inadvertently contain a score for an AU that has not been previously discussed. If so, focus on the intended AUs and return to the example later when the as yet unfamiliar AU is discussed. The scores for the examples will help to under- stand the relevance of the examples for scoring decisions made in practical scoring situations after FACS training is com- plete. The commentaries present the evidence for the AUs scored and the intensity assigned, and discuss why other AUs were not scored. Any difficulties in scoring are highlighted. In the scoring of the video, the scores pertain to the maximum extent of the movement in the clip and include all the actions of significance, regardless of the complexities that might be introduced by the event scoring in Chapter 11.If you are reading online, click the thumbnail to view the image in an external viewer, click the page number link to move to the Manual page containing the image, or click on the “(Get Neutral)” link to see the neutral for the person in an exter- nal viewer.Image Name &Example Image Page Numberpage 465 FACS ScoreRationaleThe face is not showing any action, often called a neutral face. Theface is not actually at rest because the eyes are open, the jaw isclosed, etc., but no AU can be scored. This neural face is the base-line for scoring AUs in the example images of this person, andsimilar states of “neutral” faces are used most often as baselines inactual scoring situations, although other baselines can also be used,as discussed in Chapter 11.1. The images of the AU examples for FACS were photographed and scored for the first edition under the Minimum Requirements andCo-occurrence rules of the original FACS Manual. For this version of the Manual, these photos were scanned into digital images, re- cropped, and then re-scored using the Intensity Criteria approach. Differences in the scoring techniques, especially eliminating Min-imum Requirements, changed the rules that originally assessed the quality of the photos as examples. Minor deviations from the intended actions occur in the examples, but the portrayals do not contradict the AU’s description.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos4i page 466(Get Neutral)4ii page 466(Get Neutral)w0 page 465(Get Neutral)w4 page 465(Get Neutral) V4C+38A4D4B+38ASlight to marked vertical wrinkles appear in the glabella and theeyebrows are pulled together markedly. The inner parts of the eye-brows are pulled down a trace on the right and slightly on the leftwith traces of wrinkling at the corners. Notice the skin bunchingthat begins above the middle of each eyebrow and continues moremedial making shallow waves, a sure sign of AU 4, and the bunch-ing of skin in the glabella. The 4 meets criteria for the C level onthe basis of the pulling together. Because the skin bunching abovethe eyebrows is a trace greater on the left, and the left eyebrow islowered a trace more, asymmetry is L1 and the V prefix isassigned to the 4. How about AU 1 because of the arch in the firsthorizontal wrinkle above the glabella? This change is due to thebunched skin in the glabella bending that wrinkle up. ConsideringAU 5 because of the harsh quality in the eye? There is no hard evi-dence for 5, which you can confirm by covering the eyebrows witha card. The trace of nostril flaring in the changed shape of thethinned nostril wings is sufficient for 38A.Severe vertical wrinkles and skin bunching between the eyebrows,severe drawing together of the eyebrows, and severe to extremeeyebrow lowering put this 4 at the D intensity. Both lowering anddrawing together of the eyebrows has increased from image 4i, butthe lowering has increased much more. Notice that the other signsof 4 listed for image 4i have also increased. The arch in the lowesthorizontal furrow of the forehead has straightened because of thelowering and pulling down of the glabella. Again, there is no evi-dence of AU 5 when looking closely at only the eyelid. The darkshadow between the lips should not entice the coder to score 25because 25 requires certainty, but they are certainly closed.The neutral face shows the appearance of a lowered, slanting eye-brow, a permanent feature. Also, note the furrows beyond the lipcorners, deepened parts of the nasolabial furrow. These furrowsand the wrinkling in the forehead are asymmetrical. The eye coverfold is virtually hidden, making action of 5 more difficult to detect.The eyebrows are slightly lowered and pulled together and slightvertical wrinkles form between the eyebrows, sufficient to score4B. The marked thinning and flaring of the nostrils is sufficient toscore 38A in a still image.1 page 466(Get Neutral)2 page 466(Get Neutral)5i page 467(Get Neutral)5ii page 467(Get Neutral)w5i page 467(Get Neutral)1B+38AV2C+38A5B5E5B+38AThe inner corners of the eyebrows are lifted slightly, the skin of theglabella and forehead above it is lifted slightly, and wrinklesdeepen slightly and a trace of new ones form in the center of theforehead. Someone might contend that either the wrinkling or theinner brow raise is marked, and therefore the score should be 1C,but compare these changes to those in the image 1+2 below andother images where AU 1 is at much greater intensity and re-cali-brate. There is no sign of AUs 2, 4, 5, 6, or 7 whatsoever. In thelower face, nostril flaring evident in the raised and thinned nostrilwing and increased nostril size is marked, A level in a still image.The outer part of the eyebrow raise is pronounced. The wrinklingabove the right outer eyebrow has increased markedly, and thewrinkling on the left is pronounced. Increased exposure of the eyecover fold and skin is pronounced. The score is 2C.There is nosign that the inner corners of the eyebrows are raised, althoughthey may be drawn laterally, and wrinkling in the center of theforehead has not changed in shape or position. Although thesewrinkles may have deepened somewhat, the changes in the outerpart of the wrinkles due to 2 can explain this change. Thus, AU 1 iseliminated.The greater number and depth of wrinkling on the leftmakes the asymmetry trace (L1), so assign the prefix V. The slightchanges in the nostril again indicate 38A.AU 5 is hard to see here because the eyebrows are set low and theeye cover fold has little exposure. The upper eyelid is pulled up,the medial part virtually disappearing into the revulsion margin ofthe eye cover fold. More sclera around the upper part of the iris isrevealed The inner corner of the eye shows more mucosa andsclera. In the neutral photo, no sclera is exposed and the upper eye-lid covers the top part of the iris, but here, we can extrapolate fromthe shape of the upper eyelid that virtually the entire iris isexposed, if we could see under the eye cover fold obscuring the topof the iris. This change is sufficient to score 5B on this person.The upper eyelid is raised to about the maximum and a maximumamount of sclera shows above the iris. The bulging, staring appear-ance is present without doubt. This evidence is sufficient to score5E. The lower eyelid is somewhat raised and straightened, cover-ing more of the iris, but this is due to the maximum 5 pulling up onthe lower eyelid; but there is no 7 in this item. (A 7 would wrinklethe lower eyelid and pull it up onto the eyeball, causing a bulgeand straightening it much more -- see item 7 below.)The upper eyelid is raised to reveal virtually the entire top of theiris, sufficient to score 5B as the top of the iris is covered in neu-tral. Slight flaring and thinning of the nostrils is sufficient to score38A.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videosw5ii page 467(Get Neutral)7 page 468(Get Neutral)6 page 468(Get Neutral)w7 page 468(Get Neutral)5E7CG7D+6C4A+7CThe upper eyelid is raised to reveal sclera in the maximum range,evident on the right side, sufficient to score 5E. Notice that themaximum 5 has stretched and lifted the lower eyelid a trace, butthere is no action of AU 7 in this item.The lower eyelid is raised markedly and straightened slightly, caus-ing slight bulging, and the narrowing of the eye aperture is markedto pronounced, sufficient to score 7C. No other actions are detect-able in this item.The infraorbital triangle is raised markedly, pushing skin below theeye up, slightly deepening the nasolabial furrow, and pulling up theskin of the upper lip a trace. Marked crow’s feet wrinkles form atthe eye corners as the lateral top of the infraorbital triangle israised and the lateral part of the eyebrow is lowered slightly,changing the shape of the eye cover fold as the outer ring of orbic-ular muscle constricts. This evidence is sufficient to score 6C.Even though the action of 6 is expected to push up skin below theeye and wrinkle the lower eyelid, the eyelid in this item is pulledfar up on the eyeball, beyond the effect that 6 alone can produce,causing severe bulging and wrinkling of the lower eyelid and nar-rowing of the eye aperture. Note how the skin of the lower eyelidis drawn markedly to the inner corner of the eye, narrowingseverely the angle around the lacrimal gland. The upper eyelid islowered, contributing to the changes in the eye cover fold pro-duced by the action of 6. This evidence is sufficient to score 7D.Both the wrinkling and the narrowing due to 7 are a trace greateron the right, or R1, so the prefix G is assigned. Even though thecorners of the lips are turned up a trace and the nasolabial furrowbeyond the lip corners is pulled laterally a trace, these effects areprobably due to the AU 6 pulling, and no AU 12 is scored here,lacking evidence from the movement.The lower lid is raised and straightened markedly on the eyeball,causing pronounced bulging and narrowing of the eye aperture,sufficient to score 7C. Notice how the skin of the lower eyelid isdrawn in towards the inner eye corners to affect the angle of theeyelid around the lacrimal duct. A trace of vertical wrinklingbetween the eyebrows, a trace of brow lowering, especially theright, is sufficient to score 4A.w6 page 468(Get Neutral)43i page 469(Get Neutral)43ii page 469(Get Neutral)43iii page 469(Get Neutral)7E page 469(Get Neutral) 6C+7D43B43D43E7EThe raise of the infraorbital triangle is pronounced, the deepeningof the nasolabial furrow is marked, and skin of the upper lip israised a trace. Pronounced crow’s feet wrinkles form at the eyecorners as the lateral top of the infraorbital triangle is raisedseverely, and the infraorbital furrow is deepened severely. This evi-dence is sufficient to score 6C. The action of 6 pushes up skinbelow the eye, but the eyelid in this item is pulled far up on theeyeball, beyond the effect that 6 alone can produce, causing severebulging and wrinkling of the lower eyelid and severely narrowingthe eye aperture. Note how the skin of the lower eyelid is drawnseverely to the inner corner of the eye, narrowing the angle aroundthe lacrimal gland. This evidence is sufficient to score 7D. Theeyebrows may be lowered a trace, but the 6 can explain this effect.The upper eyelid is relaxed and drooping down slightly, sufficientto score 43B. Note that the shape of the lower eyelid is littlechanged from neutral and there is no additional wrinkling. Be sureto compare the appearance of relaxing the upper eyelid in 43 tothat resulting from the tensing of the orbicular muscle that isapparent in the 6 and 7 items above.Again, this appearance results from relaxing the upper eyelid, andthe eyelids are almost together (closed), but the gap between themcan still be seen, especially in the medial parts and around the lac-rimal gland. This evidence is sufficient to score 43D. Compare thisappearance to the next item, which shows the eyelids closed.The eyes are closed in 43E. Notice that when the eyes are closed,you see the upper eyelashes laying on the skin of the lower lid andlittle or nothing of the lower eyelashes. No sclera or mucosa can beseen. No evidence of any other action is present in this example.The lower lid is pulled and stretched maximally on the eyeball,hiding most of the iris, and bulging and tensing of the lower eyelidis extreme. This evidence is sufficient to score 7E.Note that without a counteracting tension in the upper lid, the eyewould close and be scored 7E+43E, but the tension in the uppereyelid is always active to keep the eyes open, so there is no need toscore AU 5 in such an ordinary situation, and the appearancechanges here do not meet any of the guidelines for scoring AU 5.When both 7 and 5 act so that 5 is scored, the appearance is differ-ent from this item, as you can see in the 5+7 item below.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos4+5 page 470(Get Neutral)w4+5 page 470(Get Neutral)5+7 page 470(Get Neutral)1+4i page 470(Get Neutral)1+4ii page 471(Get Neutral)4C+5C4C+5B+38A5D+7C1C+4C+38A1C+4D+38AThe inner parts of the eyebrows are pulled together slightly form-ing slight vertical wrinkling, and are pulled down markedly, form-ing slight horizontal wrinkles at the inner corners of the eyebrows,sufficient to score 4C. The upper eyelid is raised and tensed againstthe downward movement of the eye cover fold caused by the low-ered eyebrows, and more sclera shows at the upper, side parts ofthe iris, indicating AU 5. Because the 5 occurs with 4, the specialintensity guidelines for 5 with 4 are used to score intensity. We cansee that more of the top part of the iris is revealed than in neutraland the harsh stare is at least marked, so 5C is scored.The eyebrows are markedly lowered and marked vertical wrinklesform between the eyebrows, sufficient to score 4C. The upper eye-lid appears raised from the increased exposure of sclera around theiris. Tension of the upper lid against the eye cover fold is evidentas AU 4 pushes down and AU 5 pushes up. The eyes have a glarethat is not present in the w4 example (cover the eyebrows to com-pare). This evidence is sufficient to score 5B. The marked thinningand flaring of the nostrils is sufficient to score 38A in a still image.The upper eyelid is raised to reveal much more than a hairline ofsclera around the top of the iris, which is partially covered in neu-tral. At least a severe amount of sclera beyond the guideline for theB intensity (virtually all of the top of the iris) is revealed, but not amaximum, sufficient to score 5D. The lower eyelid is raised andstraightened markedly on the eyeball forming a marked bulge, andskin is drawn to the inner eye corner, sufficient to score 7C.The increase in wrinkling in the center of the forehead is marked topronounced, and the raising of the inner corners of the eyebrows ispronounced, sufficient to score 1C. The eyebrows are pulledtogether markedly, and marked vertical wrinkling and bulgingappears between them. Using the guidelines for AU 4 in the com-bination of 1+4, this evidence is sufficient to score 4C. Notice howstraight the eyebrows are compared to the example for AU 1, inthis table above, because the 4 is pulling down the center of eacheyebrow while the 1 is raising the inner corner, which decreasesthe curvature of the eyebrow. The markedly thinned and flarednostrils are sufficient to score 38A.The same signs are apparent in this items as in the previous, but theactions are more intense. The increase in horizontal wrinkling inthe center of the forehead and the raising of the inner corners of theeyebrows are pronounced, about the same as in the previous item.Yet, there is a more bulging, bunched, and knotted appearance tothe center of the forehead because the stronger AU 1 is counter-acted by a stronger AU 4, shown in the severe vertical wrinklingand bulging and wrinkling between the eyebrows, the severe draw-ing together of the eyebrows, and the greater lowering of the eye-brow centers. Also, notice the straightness of the eyebrow and eyecover fold. This evidence is sufficient to score 4D, and the 1remains in the C intensity range. The markedly thinned and flarednostrils are sufficient to score 38A.j0 page 465(Get Neutral) 0 This neutral image serves as a baseline for the j images. Note thepermanent wrinkles in the forehead and at or below the eye cor-ners. Note the greater exposure of the eye cover fold and skin ofthe upper eyelid, compared to the other faces, that makes changesin the upper eyelid easier to detect. There is also more permanentbulging in the glabella than the other faces seen thus far.j1+4 page 471(Get Neutral) 1C+4D+L11B The inner corners of the eyebrows are raised slightly, and the hori- zontal wrinkling in the center of the forehead is increased mark-edly, sufficient to score 1C. The eyebrows are markedly to severelypulled together, forming severe vertical wrinkles and bulgingbetween the eyebrows, sufficient to score 4D (barely) using the cri-teria for 4 in the 1+4 combination. This example shows clearly 1)the triangular shape of the eye cover fold that often appears in 1+4,and 2) how the inner corner of the eyebrow is pulled up by 1 andthe center is pulled down by 4. The middle part of the left nasola-bial furrow is deepened slightly and the skin of the left upper lip isstretched upward a trace, sufficient to score L11B.1+2 page 471(Get Neutral)1+2+4i page 472(Get Neutral)1D+W2D+25A+38A1C+W2C+4BIt should be immediately obvious from the eyebrow raise andwrinkling across the entire forehead that AUs 1 and 2 are involvedin this action, so use the Action Unit Combination description for1+2 to score these actions (or the section on combination 1+2+4,etc. if there were other AUs). This action is also asymmetrical. Theentire eyebrow is raised up extremely, wrinkles are extremely deep-ened and/or extended across the entire forehead, except on theouter right side where they are pronounced, and the eye cover foldis exposed extremely. There is no evidence whatsoever for 4, 5, 6,or 7, and although one might claim the upper eyelid is raised atrace, this change can be easily attributed to the lifting of the eyecover fold by 1+2. The lower face shows little change, except a slitof lip parting that is less than 2mm and a trace of nostril flaringevident in the thinned nostril wings and changed nostril opening.Because the 2 is C on the right and D on the left, and the differencein wrinkling is slight (asymmetry is L2), W is assigned as prefix to2.The raise of the entire brow, together with the flattening and pull-ing together of the eyebrows indicate the presence of 1, 2, and 4 sothe guidelines for scoring the combination 1+2+4 are appropriate.The entire brow is raised markedly, indicating the C intensity forboth 1 and 2, except that on the right side, the 2 is slight and thedifference between the sides is slight, indicating an asymmetryscore of 2 and a prefix of W. The slight pulling together appearsweaker than the raising, with only slight straightening and a traceof bulging between the brows, sufficient to score 4B.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos1+2+4ii 1B+2B+4C+25A+ As in the previous item, the 1+2+4 scoring guidelines are used, butpage 472 (Get Neutral)j1+2+4 page 471(Get Neutral)1+2+5i page 472(Get Neutral)1+2+5ii page 472(Get Neutral)38A1B+2C+4C+5A+V11C1D+2D+5B1E+2E+5Ehere, the brow is less raised and more pulled together. The browraise, and the consequent deepening of the horizontal wrinkles isslight, indicating AUs 1 and 2 at the B intensity. Notice thatalthough the lateral parts of the eyebrows are not raised much morethan in neutral, the brow is very straight, indicating the tensionbetween a stronger AU 4 and AU 2. The pulling together of theeyebrows is pronounced with slight bulging between them, but amarked amount of knotting and twisting in the forehead. This evi-dence is sufficient for 4C. A slit of lip parting that is less than 2mmand a marked nostril flaring evident in the thinned nostril wingsand changed nostril opening is sufficient to score 25A+38A.Evidence of the raising of the entire brow is apparent in the slightto pronounced increase in horizontal wrinkling across the foreheadand the slight to marked raising of parts of the eyebrow. The eye-brows are drawn together slightly, forming marked wrinkling andbulging between the eyebrows, but the center of each eyebrow ispulled down at least markedly. Using the intensity guidelines in thedescription of the 1+2+4 combination, and weighing the evidencefor these AUs, the 1B+2C+4C intensity scores are assigned. Theraise of the upper eyelid is apparent in contrast to neutral, but notquite enough to score B, so 5A is scored. The nasolabial furrow isdeepened in the middle slightly to markedly, with some pulling ofthe skin in the upper lip, sufficient to score 11C. The 11 is strongeron the lefts, as the left lip is raised more and the left infraorbitalfurrow is deeper, a trace of a difference or the prefix V.The obvious eyebrow raise and wrinkling across the entire fore-head indicates AUs 1 and 2 are involved in this action, so the scor-ing guidelines for the 1+2 combination are appropriate. Theraising, wrinkling, exposure of the eye cover fold, and other signsof AUs 1 and 2 are severe to extreme, but not maximum, indicatingthe D intensity. The upper eyelid is raised to expose virtually theentire iris, which is covered in neutral, sufficient to score the Bintensity. Compare the effect of 5 in this item in exposing the iris tothe reveal of the iris in the previous two examples of 1+2+4 andthe item for 1+2, where 5 has not acted.As in the previous item, the guidelines for combination 1+2 areused, and the maximum raising, wrinkling, exposure of the eyecover fold, and other signs indicate AUs 1 and 2 at the E intensity.Likewise, the raising of the upper eyelid and exposure of scleraabove the iris is maximum, indicating 5E. Notice that the lowereyelid appears to have raised up in respect to the iris. This is attrib-utable to the effect of the maximum 5; no other sign of AU 7 ispresent.。

人脸表情识别概述
2011.877人脸表情识别概述韦妍广东女子职业技术学院 广东 511450摘要:人脸表情识别是智能化人机交互技术中的一个重要组成部分,现在是越来越受到重视。
本文阐述了人脸表情识别的课题背景及其起源、发展与研究现状,并结合国内外相关领域的发展,从特征提取方面对目前表情识别的主流方法做了详细介绍,并提出了人脸表情识别中需要解决的问题。
关键词:人脸表情识别;特征提取0 引言人脸表情是人们之间非语言交流时的最丰富的资源和最容易表达人们感情的一种有效方式,在人们的交流中起着非常重要的作用。
表情含有丰富的人体行为信息,是情感的主载体,通过脸部表情能够表达人的微妙的情绪反应以及人类对应的心理状态,由此可见表情信息在人与人之间交流中的重要性。
人脸表情识别技术随着人们对表情信息的日益重视而受到关注,成为目前一个研究的热点。
所谓人脸表情识别,就是利用计算机进行人脸表情图像获取、表情图像预处理、表情特征提取和表情分类的过程,它通过计算机分析人的表情信息,从而推断人的心理状态,最后达到实现人机之间的智能交互。
表情识别技术是情感计算机研究的内容之一,是心理学、生理学、计算机视觉、生物特征识别、情感计算、人工心理理论等多学科交叉的一个极富挑战性的课题,它的研究对于自然和谐的人机交互、远程教育、安全驾驶等都有重要的作用和意义。
1 国内外研究的发展与现状国际上对人脸表情的分析与识别的研究工作可分为基于心理学和计算机两类。
早在1872年,生物学家达尔文所做的心理实验就表明,面部表情的含义不会随着国家、种族、性别的不同而不同。
1978年美国心理学家Ekman 和Friesen 开发了面部动作编码系统(Facial Action coding system ,FACS),以此来检测面部表情的细微变化。
在这个系统中,他将表情分为六个基本类别:悲伤、高兴、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒和惊奇,说明了与无表情人脸特征相比,这六种表情的人脸特征具有相对独特的肌肉运动规律。
FAC的名词解释
FAC的名词解释Facial Action Coding System (FAC) 是一种用于面部表情分析的系统,它能够准确地识别和描述人脸上的微小动作,以及这些动作所传递的情感和意图。
FAC是由保罗·埃克曼(Paul Ekman)和华尔特·弗莱森(Wallace Friesen)在1978年共同提出的,它通过对面部肌肉的运动进行编码,来分析个体的情绪状态,进而对其内心感受进行推断。
一、FAC的原理和操作FAC主要基于七个主要面部表情肌肉群的运动。
这七个面部表情肌肉群包括:眉毛的上扬和皱起、眼睑的开合、嘴部的张合和嘴角的拉伸、以及鼻翼的扩大。
FAC通过观察和记录这些面部动作的强度、快慢和组合方式,来识别不同的情感和表情。
为了操作FAC,研究人员首先需要进行培训以熟悉FAC的编码系统和面部表情的运动。
他们学习如何精确地观察和描述微妙的面部动作,并使用FAC编码手册中的编码规则将这些动作映射到相应的情感和表情。
这些编码被记录在一个称为FAC编码表中,以方便后续的数据分析和解读。
二、FAC的应用领域FAC的应用领域非常广泛,涵盖了心理学、神经科学、医学、市场营销等多个领域。
以下是FAC在几个主要领域的重要应用:1. 心理学研究FAC在心理学研究中被广泛应用,特别是在情绪研究领域。
研究人员使用FAC对参与者的面部表情进行编码,以了解情绪的产生和调节机制,揭示人类情感反应的内在特征。
此外,FAC还可以用于研究认知过程、心理疾病等方面,为心理学的发展提供了宝贵的工具。
2. 商业和市场营销FAC在商业和市场营销领域的应用越来越受欢迎。
通过分析面部表情,企业可以了解消费者对产品和广告的实际感受,并根据这些信息优化产品设计和广告策略。
例如,一些公司使用FAC来测试新产品的潜在市场反应,以便在投放市场之前进行针对性的改进。
3. 临床诊断和治疗FAC在临床诊断和治疗中也有重要的应用。
通过观察和分析患者的面部表情,医生可以更准确地诊断出人们可能患有的心理疾病、神经系统障碍等。

Although every attempt was made to use examples that show only the AUs intended to be represented, this goal was not always achieved because of the difficulty of eliminating all other actions from the performance of the intended AUs. Below are complete FACS scores for each of the example images. These scores contain the intensity score, which is usually not emphasized in the AU descriptions of Section A, a unilateral prefix if unilateral or an asymmetry score (a scoring option) if asymmetrical. These scores allow the careful student to determine more precisely what causes certain appearances in the example images. An example may inadvertently contain a score for an AU that has not been previously discussed. If so, focus on the intended AUs and return to the example later when the as yet unfamiliar AU is discussed. The scores for the examples will help to under- stand the relevance of the examples for scoring decisions made in practical scoring situations after FACS training is com- plete. The commentaries present the evidence for the AUs scored and the intensity assigned, and discuss why other AUs were not scored. Any difficulties in scoring are highlighted. In the scoring of the video, the scores pertain to the maximum extent of the movement in the clip and include all the actions of significance, regardless of the complexities that might be introduced by the event scoring in Chapter 11.If you are reading online, click the thumbnail to view the image in an external viewer, click the page number link to move to the Manual page containing the image, or click on the “(Get Neutral)” link to see the neutral for the person in an exter- nal viewer.Image Name &Example Image Page Numberpage 465 FACS ScoreRationaleThe face is not showing any action, often called a neutral face. Theface is not actually at rest because the eyes are open, the jaw isclosed, etc., but no AU can be scored. This neural face is the base-line for scoring AUs in the example images of this person, andsimilar states of “neutral” faces are used most often as baselines inactual scoring situations, although other baselines can also be used,as discussed in Chapter 11.1. The images of the AU examples for FACS were photographed and scored for the first edition under the Minimum Requirements andCo-occurrence rules of the original FACS Manual. For this version of the Manual, these photos were scanned into digital images, re- cropped, and then re-scored using the Intensity Criteria approach. Differences in the scoring techniques, especially eliminating Min-imum Requirements, changed the rules that originally assessed the quality of the photos as examples. Minor deviations from the intended actions occur in the examples, but the portrayals do not contradict the AU’s description.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos4i page 466(Get Neutral)4ii page 466(Get Neutral)w0 page 465(Get Neutral)w4 page 465(Get Neutral) V4C+38A4D4B+38ASlight to marked vertical wrinkles appear in the glabella and theeyebrows are pulled together markedly. The inner parts of the eye-brows are pulled down a trace on the right and slightly on the leftwith traces of wrinkling at the corners. Notice the skin bunchingthat begins above the middle of each eyebrow and continues moremedial making shallow waves, a sure sign of AU 4, and the bunch-ing of skin in the glabella. The 4 meets criteria for the C level onthe basis of the pulling together. Because the skin bunching abovethe eyebrows is a trace greater on the left, and the left eyebrow islowered a trace more, asymmetry is L1 and the V prefix isassigned to the 4. How about AU 1 because of the arch in the firsthorizontal wrinkle above the glabella? This change is due to thebunched skin in the glabella bending that wrinkle up. ConsideringAU 5 because of the harsh quality in the eye? There is no hard evi-dence for 5, which you can confirm by covering the eyebrows witha card. The trace of nostril flaring in the changed shape of thethinned nostril wings is sufficient for 38A.Severe vertical wrinkles and skin bunching between the eyebrows,severe drawing together of the eyebrows, and severe to extremeeyebrow lowering put this 4 at the D intensity. Both lowering anddrawing together of the eyebrows has increased from image 4i, butthe lowering has increased much more. Notice that the other signsof 4 listed for image 4i have also increased. The arch in the lowesthorizontal furrow of the forehead has straightened because of thelowering and pulling down of the glabella. Again, there is no evi-dence of AU 5 when looking closely at only the eyelid. The darkshadow between the lips should not entice the coder to score 25because 25 requires certainty, but they are certainly closed.The neutral face shows the appearance of a lowered, slanting eye-brow, a permanent feature. Also, note the furrows beyond the lipcorners, deepened parts of the nasolabial furrow. These furrowsand the wrinkling in the forehead are asymmetrical. The eye coverfold is virtually hidden, making action of 5 more difficult to detect.The eyebrows are slightly lowered and pulled together and slightvertical wrinkles form between the eyebrows, sufficient to score4B. The marked thinning and flaring of the nostrils is sufficient toscore 38A in a still image.1 page 466(Get Neutral)2 page 466(Get Neutral)5i page 467(Get Neutral)5ii page 467(Get Neutral)w5i page 467(Get Neutral)1B+38AV2C+38A5B5E5B+38AThe inner corners of the eyebrows are lifted slightly, the skin of theglabella and forehead above it is lifted slightly, and wrinklesdeepen slightly and a trace of new ones form in the center of theforehead. Someone might contend that either the wrinkling or theinner brow raise is marked, and therefore the score should be 1C,but compare these changes to those in the image 1+2 below andother images where AU 1 is at much greater intensity and re-cali-brate. There is no sign of AUs 2, 4, 5, 6, or 7 whatsoever. In thelower face, nostril flaring evident in the raised and thinned nostrilwing and increased nostril size is marked, A level in a still image.The outer part of the eyebrow raise is pronounced. The wrinklingabove the right outer eyebrow has increased markedly, and thewrinkling on the left is pronounced. Increased exposure of the eyecover fold and skin is pronounced. The score is 2C.There is nosign that the inner corners of the eyebrows are raised, althoughthey may be drawn laterally, and wrinkling in the center of theforehead has not changed in shape or position. Although thesewrinkles may have deepened somewhat, the changes in the outerpart of the wrinkles due to 2 can explain this change. Thus, AU 1 iseliminated.The greater number and depth of wrinkling on the leftmakes the asymmetry trace (L1), so assign the prefix V. The slightchanges in the nostril again indicate 38A.AU 5 is hard to see here because the eyebrows are set low and theeye cover fold has little exposure. The upper eyelid is pulled up,the medial part virtually disappearing into the revulsion margin ofthe eye cover fold. More sclera around the upper part of the iris isrevealed The inner corner of the eye shows more mucosa andsclera. In the neutral photo, no sclera is exposed and the upper eye-lid covers the top part of the iris, but here, we can extrapolate fromthe shape of the upper eyelid that virtually the entire iris isexposed, if we could see under the eye cover fold obscuring the topof the iris. This change is sufficient to score 5B on this person.The upper eyelid is raised to about the maximum and a maximumamount of sclera shows above the iris. The bulging, staring appear-ance is present without doubt. This evidence is sufficient to score5E. The lower eyelid is somewhat raised and straightened, cover-ing more of the iris, but this is due to the maximum 5 pulling up onthe lower eyelid; but there is no 7 in this item. (A 7 would wrinklethe lower eyelid and pull it up onto the eyeball, causing a bulgeand straightening it much more -- see item 7 below.)The upper eyelid is raised to reveal virtually the entire top of theiris, sufficient to score 5B as the top of the iris is covered in neu-tral. Slight flaring and thinning of the nostrils is sufficient to score38A.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videosw5ii page 467(Get Neutral)7 page 468(Get Neutral)6 page 468(Get Neutral)w7 page 468(Get Neutral)5E7CG7D+6C4A+7CThe upper eyelid is raised to reveal sclera in the maximum range,evident on the right side, sufficient to score 5E. Notice that themaximum 5 has stretched and lifted the lower eyelid a trace, butthere is no action of AU 7 in this item.The lower eyelid is raised markedly and straightened slightly, caus-ing slight bulging, and the narrowing of the eye aperture is markedto pronounced, sufficient to score 7C. No other actions are detect-able in this item.The infraorbital triangle is raised markedly, pushing skin below theeye up, slightly deepening the nasolabial furrow, and pulling up theskin of the upper lip a trace. Marked crow’s feet wrinkles form atthe eye corners as the lateral top of the infraorbital triangle israised and the lateral part of the eyebrow is lowered slightly,changing the shape of the eye cover fold as the outer ring of orbic-ular muscle constricts. This evidence is sufficient to score 6C.Even though the action of 6 is expected to push up skin below theeye and wrinkle the lower eyelid, the eyelid in this item is pulledfar up on the eyeball, beyond the effect that 6 alone can produce,causing severe bulging and wrinkling of the lower eyelid and nar-rowing of the eye aperture. Note how the skin of the lower eyelidis drawn markedly to the inner corner of the eye, narrowingseverely the angle around the lacrimal gland. The upper eyelid islowered, contributing to the changes in the eye cover fold pro-duced by the action of 6. This evidence is sufficient to score 7D.Both the wrinkling and the narrowing due to 7 are a trace greateron the right, or R1, so the prefix G is assigned. Even though thecorners of the lips are turned up a trace and the nasolabial furrowbeyond the lip corners is pulled laterally a trace, these effects areprobably due to the AU 6 pulling, and no AU 12 is scored here,lacking evidence from the movement.The lower lid is raised and straightened markedly on the eyeball,causing pronounced bulging and narrowing of the eye aperture,sufficient to score 7C. Notice how the skin of the lower eyelid isdrawn in towards the inner eye corners to affect the angle of theeyelid around the lacrimal duct. A trace of vertical wrinklingbetween the eyebrows, a trace of brow lowering, especially theright, is sufficient to score 4A.w6 page 468(Get Neutral)43i page 469(Get Neutral)43ii page 469(Get Neutral)43iii page 469(Get Neutral)7E page 469(Get Neutral) 6C+7D43B43D43E7EThe raise of the infraorbital triangle is pronounced, the deepeningof the nasolabial furrow is marked, and skin of the upper lip israised a trace. Pronounced crow’s feet wrinkles form at the eyecorners as the lateral top of the infraorbital triangle is raisedseverely, and the infraorbital furrow is deepened severely. This evi-dence is sufficient to score 6C. The action of 6 pushes up skinbelow the eye, but the eyelid in this item is pulled far up on theeyeball, beyond the effect that 6 alone can produce, causing severebulging and wrinkling of the lower eyelid and severely narrowingthe eye aperture. Note how the skin of the lower eyelid is drawnseverely to the inner corner of the eye, narrowing the angle aroundthe lacrimal gland. This evidence is sufficient to score 7D. Theeyebrows may be lowered a trace, but the 6 can explain this effect.The upper eyelid is relaxed and drooping down slightly, sufficientto score 43B. Note that the shape of the lower eyelid is littlechanged from neutral and there is no additional wrinkling. Be sureto compare the appearance of relaxing the upper eyelid in 43 tothat resulting from the tensing of the orbicular muscle that isapparent in the 6 and 7 items above.Again, this appearance results from relaxing the upper eyelid, andthe eyelids are almost together (closed), but the gap between themcan still be seen, especially in the medial parts and around the lac-rimal gland. This evidence is sufficient to score 43D. Compare thisappearance to the next item, which shows the eyelids closed.The eyes are closed in 43E. Notice that when the eyes are closed,you see the upper eyelashes laying on the skin of the lower lid andlittle or nothing of the lower eyelashes. No sclera or mucosa can beseen. No evidence of any other action is present in this example.The lower lid is pulled and stretched maximally on the eyeball,hiding most of the iris, and bulging and tensing of the lower eyelidis extreme. This evidence is sufficient to score 7E.Note that without a counteracting tension in the upper lid, the eyewould close and be scored 7E+43E, but the tension in the uppereyelid is always active to keep the eyes open, so there is no need toscore AU 5 in such an ordinary situation, and the appearancechanges here do not meet any of the guidelines for scoring AU 5.When both 7 and 5 act so that 5 is scored, the appearance is differ-ent from this item, as you can see in the 5+7 item below.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos4+5 page 470(Get Neutral)w4+5 page 470(Get Neutral)5+7 page 470(Get Neutral)1+4i page 470(Get Neutral)1+4ii page 471(Get Neutral)4C+5C4C+5B+38A5D+7C1C+4C+38A1C+4D+38AThe inner parts of the eyebrows are pulled together slightly form-ing slight vertical wrinkling, and are pulled down markedly, form-ing slight horizontal wrinkles at the inner corners of the eyebrows,sufficient to score 4C. The upper eyelid is raised and tensed againstthe downward movement of the eye cover fold caused by the low-ered eyebrows, and more sclera shows at the upper, side parts ofthe iris, indicating AU 5. Because the 5 occurs with 4, the specialintensity guidelines for 5 with 4 are used to score intensity. We cansee that more of the top part of the iris is revealed than in neutraland the harsh stare is at least marked, so 5C is scored.The eyebrows are markedly lowered and marked vertical wrinklesform between the eyebrows, sufficient to score 4C. The upper eye-lid appears raised from the increased exposure of sclera around theiris. Tension of the upper lid against the eye cover fold is evidentas AU 4 pushes down and AU 5 pushes up. The eyes have a glarethat is not present in the w4 example (cover the eyebrows to com-pare). This evidence is sufficient to score 5B. The marked thinningand flaring of the nostrils is sufficient to score 38A in a still image.The upper eyelid is raised to reveal much more than a hairline ofsclera around the top of the iris, which is partially covered in neu-tral. At least a severe amount of sclera beyond the guideline for theB intensity (virtually all of the top of the iris) is revealed, but not amaximum, sufficient to score 5D. The lower eyelid is raised andstraightened markedly on the eyeball forming a marked bulge, andskin is drawn to the inner eye corner, sufficient to score 7C.The increase in wrinkling in the center of the forehead is marked topronounced, and the raising of the inner corners of the eyebrows ispronounced, sufficient to score 1C. The eyebrows are pulledtogether markedly, and marked vertical wrinkling and bulgingappears between them. Using the guidelines for AU 4 in the com-bination of 1+4, this evidence is sufficient to score 4C. Notice howstraight the eyebrows are compared to the example for AU 1, inthis table above, because the 4 is pulling down the center of eacheyebrow while the 1 is raising the inner corner, which decreasesthe curvature of the eyebrow. The markedly thinned and flarednostrils are sufficient to score 38A.The same signs are apparent in this items as in the previous, but theactions are more intense. The increase in horizontal wrinkling inthe center of the forehead and the raising of the inner corners of theeyebrows are pronounced, about the same as in the previous item.Yet, there is a more bulging, bunched, and knotted appearance tothe center of the forehead because the stronger AU 1 is counter-acted by a stronger AU 4, shown in the severe vertical wrinklingand bulging and wrinkling between the eyebrows, the severe draw-ing together of the eyebrows, and the greater lowering of the eye-brow centers. Also, notice the straightness of the eyebrow and eyecover fold. This evidence is sufficient to score 4D, and the 1remains in the C intensity range. The markedly thinned and flarednostrils are sufficient to score 38A.j0 page 465(Get Neutral) 0 This neutral image serves as a baseline for the j images. Note thepermanent wrinkles in the forehead and at or below the eye cor-ners. Note the greater exposure of the eye cover fold and skin ofthe upper eyelid, compared to the other faces, that makes changesin the upper eyelid easier to detect. There is also more permanentbulging in the glabella than the other faces seen thus far.j1+4 page 471(Get Neutral) 1C+4D+L11B The inner corners of the eyebrows are raised slightly, and the hori- zontal wrinkling in the center of the forehead is increased mark-edly, sufficient to score 1C. The eyebrows are markedly to severelypulled together, forming severe vertical wrinkles and bulgingbetween the eyebrows, sufficient to score 4D (barely) using the cri-teria for 4 in the 1+4 combination. This example shows clearly 1)the triangular shape of the eye cover fold that often appears in 1+4,and 2) how the inner corner of the eyebrow is pulled up by 1 andthe center is pulled down by 4. The middle part of the left nasola-bial furrow is deepened slightly and the skin of the left upper lip isstretched upward a trace, sufficient to score L11B.1+2 page 471(Get Neutral)1+2+4i page 472(Get Neutral)1D+W2D+25A+38A1C+W2C+4BIt should be immediately obvious from the eyebrow raise andwrinkling across the entire forehead that AUs 1 and 2 are involvedin this action, so use the Action Unit Combination description for1+2 to score these actions (or the section on combination 1+2+4,etc. if there were other AUs). This action is also asymmetrical. Theentire eyebrow is raised up extremely, wrinkles are extremely deep-ened and/or extended across the entire forehead, except on theouter right side where they are pronounced, and the eye cover foldis exposed extremely. There is no evidence whatsoever for 4, 5, 6,or 7, and although one might claim the upper eyelid is raised atrace, this change can be easily attributed to the lifting of the eyecover fold by 1+2. The lower face shows little change, except a slitof lip parting that is less than 2mm and a trace of nostril flaringevident in the thinned nostril wings and changed nostril opening.Because the 2 is C on the right and D on the left, and the differencein wrinkling is slight (asymmetry is L2), W is assigned as prefix to2.The raise of the entire brow, together with the flattening and pull-ing together of the eyebrows indicate the presence of 1, 2, and 4 sothe guidelines for scoring the combination 1+2+4 are appropriate.The entire brow is raised markedly, indicating the C intensity forboth 1 and 2, except that on the right side, the 2 is slight and thedifference between the sides is slight, indicating an asymmetryscore of 2 and a prefix of W. The slight pulling together appearsweaker than the raising, with only slight straightening and a traceof bulging between the brows, sufficient to score 4B.Scores for Reference Example Images and Videos1+2+4ii 1B+2B+4C+25A+ As in the previous item, the 1+2+4 scoring guidelines are used, butpage 472 (Get Neutral)j1+2+4 page 471(Get Neutral)1+2+5i page 472(Get Neutral)1+2+5ii page 472(Get Neutral)38A1B+2C+4C+5A+V11C1D+2D+5B1E+2E+5Ehere, the brow is less raised and more pulled together. The browraise, and the consequent deepening of the horizontal wrinkles isslight, indicating AUs 1 and 2 at the B intensity. Notice thatalthough the lateral parts of the eyebrows are not raised much morethan in neutral, the brow is very straight, indicating the tensionbetween a stronger AU 4 and AU 2. The pulling together of theeyebrows is pronounced with slight bulging between them, but amarked amount of knotting and twisting in the forehead. This evi-dence is sufficient for 4C. A slit of lip parting that is less than 2mmand a marked nostril flaring evident in the thinned nostril wingsand changed nostril opening is sufficient to score 25A+38A.Evidence of the raising of the entire brow is apparent in the slightto pronounced increase in horizontal wrinkling across the foreheadand the slight to marked raising of parts of the eyebrow. The eye-brows are drawn together slightly, forming marked wrinkling andbulging between the eyebrows, but the center of each eyebrow ispulled down at least markedly. Using the intensity guidelines in thedescription of the 1+2+4 combination, and weighing the evidencefor these AUs, the 1B+2C+4C intensity scores are assigned. Theraise of the upper eyelid is apparent in contrast to neutral, but notquite enough to score B, so 5A is scored. The nasolabial furrow isdeepened in the middle slightly to markedly, with some pulling ofthe skin in the upper lip, sufficient to score 11C. The 11 is strongeron the lefts, as the left lip is raised more and the left infraorbitalfurrow is deeper, a trace of a difference or the prefix V.The obvious eyebrow raise and wrinkling across the entire fore-head indicates AUs 1 and 2 are involved in this action, so the scor-ing guidelines for the 1+2 combination are appropriate. Theraising, wrinkling, exposure of the eye cover fold, and other signsof AUs 1 and 2 are severe to extreme, but not maximum, indicatingthe D intensity. The upper eyelid is raised to expose virtually theentire iris, which is covered in neutral, sufficient to score the Bintensity. Compare the effect of 5 in this item in exposing the iris tothe reveal of the iris in the previous two examples of 1+2+4 andthe item for 1+2, where 5 has not acted.As in the previous item, the guidelines for combination 1+2 areused, and the maximum raising, wrinkling, exposure of the eyecover fold, and other signs indicate AUs 1 and 2 at the E intensity.Likewise, the raising of the upper eyelid and exposure of scleraabove the iris is maximum, indicating 5E. Notice that the lowereyelid appears to have raised up in respect to the iris. This is attrib-utable to the effect of the maximum 5; no other sign of AU 7 ispresent.。
