The authors are developing a vision-based intension transfer technique by recognizing user’s face expressions and movements, to help free and convenient communications with aged or disabled persons who find difficulties in talking, discriminating small character prints and operating keyboards by hands and fingers. In this paper we report a prototype system, where layered daily conversations are successively selected by recognizing the transition in shape of user’s mouth parts using camera image sequences settled in front of the user. Four mouth part patterns are used in the system. A method that automatically recognizes these patterns by analyzing the intensity histogram data around the mouth region is newly developed. The confirmation of a selection on the way is executed by detecting the open and shut movements of mouth through the temporal change in intensity histogram data. The method has been installed in a desktop PC by VC++ programs. Experimental results of mouth shape pattern recognition by twenty-five persons have shown the effectiveness of the method.
