Facial expression communication is considered, mainly focusing on achieving smooth telecommunications. Gesture and facial expressions are considered to be significant factors in telecommunications, such as tele-services. To realize a real time communication system for facial expression, we proposed the facial expression space (FES) and a correspondence technique between each personal facial expression space. Then, a real time facial expression communication system is developed, which transports the facial expressions but not the images themselves. This final system is able to synthesize the facial expressions with two persons, further more in cartoon characters. The experimental results show the validity of these criteria.
