Omron shows smile-measuring technology

Posted by: RSS In: Msnbc.com

A woman smiles as she demonstrates Japanese electronics and health-care company Omron Corp.'s Okao Catch, or "face catch," that can measure how big your smile is during a newly opened technology exhibition space TEPIA in Tokyo Thursday, April 10, 2008. The software technology scans a video image to detect faces. It can find up to 100 faces in an image, according to Yasushi Kawamoto of Omron. Okao Catch then analyzes curves of the lips, eye movements and other facial expressions to decide how much a person is smiling using data collected from a million people and their smiles, he said. The breadth of a smile can be measured by new technology from Japanese electronics and health care company Omron Corp.
