In collaboration with our psychological research partner Mirella Walker, we develop new
technologies to manipulate faces with respect to ascribed personality
traits. We use 3DMM technology to measure people's social judgments when
they only see a static face image. Without any other information but a neutral
portrait image, subjects take consistent judgments about personality traits of
the depicted people. The Morphable Model serves to quantitatively associate the
ascribed traits with changes in the face. We can thus find and measure typical
properties of a face which correspond with the perception of a specific trait.
Using this information, we actively manipulate faces such that subjects perceive
the face differently. Our photorealistic manipulations are predictable and
consistent with human judgments.
