Abstract :
This paper deals with the development of novel sensory systems and interfaces to enhance the safety of a driver who may be using a cell phone. It describes a system for real time affect analysis and Tele-viewing in order to bring the context of the driver to remote users. The system is divided into two modules. The affect recognition module recognizes six emotional states of the driver. The face-modeling module generates a 3D model of the driver´s face using two images and synthesizes the emotions on it. Depending on bandwidth, either a raw video, 3D warped model, or an iconic representation is sent to the remote user.
