Abstract :
Summary form only given. For a long time, the fundamental six emotions proposed by Ekman were widely used for the expression of universal human emotions. But the classification can not present the facial expression directly from the uprising conceptual emotion. We notice that this problem is caused by the conceptuality of the emotions which can have a lot of expressions on a facial model. We present a new standard to classify the emotions in the expression sense, not in the conceptuality. This means we recognize each facial expressions as a meaningful visual unit. Each meaning of emotional expressions help us to define a visual level of detail of the expressions. Moreover the methodology which leads to the concept of expression can be applied to non-emotional expressions. We define additional facial expression from the expressions proposed by Faigin which express human physical state. The birth of the standard to express facial actions enable us both to classify emotional expression and to investigate each expression in detail, as well as to extend the region of facial expressions.
