Topic of the diploma thesis was: Kamerabasierte Emotionserkennung f\u00fcr die Imitation mit einem virtuellen Agenten (camera-based emotion recognition for imitation by a virtual avatar). For the imitation part, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de\/~skopp\/max.html\">Max<\/a> virtual human was used.
