 abstract = {Even if electronic devices widely occupy our daily lives, human-machine
	interaction still lacks intuition. Therefore, researchers intend
	to resolve these shortcomings by augmenting traditional systems with
	aspects of human-human interaction and consider human emotion, behavior,
	and intention. This publication focusses on one aspect of this challenge:
	recognizing facial expressions. Our approach achieves real-time performance
	and provides robustness for real-world applicability. This computer
	vision task comprises of various phases for which it exploits model-based
	techniques that accurately localize facial features, seamlessly track
	them through image sequences, and finally infer facial expressions
	visible. We specifically adapt state-of-the-art techniques to each
	of these challenging phases. Our system has been successfully presented
	to industrial, political, and scientific audience in various events.},
