| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Firstly, we build Specular Reflection Shape Features (RSF) method related to sound localization ability on median plane. The RSFs also visualize the pinna parts related to sound localization ability. The RSF method shows that the earlobe plays an important role in sound localization. As a result, the earlobes with the 35-degree transformation and the head-movement improve the RMS (Root Mean Square) errors of a sound localization ability.
Secondly, we build and evaluate the real-time emotion estimation system for standing postures. The system estimates the emotions by others for not only standing postures but also sitting postures. We can build a smart space with lighting and audio system to estimate the users’ emotions and sound localization ability.
