N2 - This paper overviews our research activities on computer vision based non-verbal information analysis that can be applied to virtual communication environments and human computer interactions. In virtual communication environments, a user's facial expressions and body motions are estimated by computer vision approaches, and the estimated non-verbal information is reproduced in the user's avatar. For human computer interfaces, hand gestures are recognized as pre-defined commands by analyzing multiple camera images that observe the hand. In addition, facial expressions and body gestures are recognized from a time-sequential images by HMM (Hidden Markov Models).
