In this paper, the facial expression is mainly focused to achieve the smooth tele-communications. The facial expressions has been considered as the most significant factor in tele-communications, such as tele-services. To realize the real time facial expression transportation system, we propose the facial expression space (FES) and a correspondence technique between each personal facial expression spaces. Then, real time facial expression transportation system is developed, which transports the facial expression but not the image itself. This final system is able to display the same facial expressions in another person and further more in cartoon characters. The experimental results show the validity of these criteria.
