With the development of computer vision, facial expression recognition has become a research hotspot. To further improve the accuracy of facial expression recognition, this paper probes deep into image segmentation, feature extraction, and facial expression classification. Firstly, the convolution neural network (CNN) was adopted to accurately separate the salient regions from the face image. Next, the Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) model was improved to enhance the ability of texture features to represent image information, and a novel feature extraction algorithm called specific angle abundance entropy (SAAE) was designed to improve the representation ability of shape features. After that, the texture features were combined with shape features, and trained and classified by the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Finally, the proposed method was compared with common methods of facial expression recognition on a standard facial expression database. The results show that our method can greatly improve the accuracy of facial expression recognition.

This paper proposes the design of a Facial Expression Recognition (FER) system based on deep convolutional neural network by using three model. In this work, a simple solution for facial expression recognition that uses a combination of algorithms for face detection, feature extraction and classification is discussed. The proposed method uses CNN models with SVM classifier and evaluates them, these models are Alex-net model, VGG-16 model and Res-Net model. Experiments are carried out on the Extended Cohn-Kanada (CK+) datasets to determine the recognition accuracy for the proposed FER system. In this study the accuracy of AlexNet model compared with Vgg16 model and ResNet model. The result show that AlexNet model achieved the best accuracy (88.2%) compared to other models.

This paper proposes an automatic facial expression recognition system, which uses new methods in both face detection and feature extraction. In this system, considering that facial expressions are related to a small set of muscles and limited ranges of motions, the facial expressions are recognized by these changes in video sequences. First, the differences between neutral and emotional states are detected. Faces can be automatically located from changing facial organs. Then, LBP features are applied and AdaBoost is used to find the most important features for each expression on essential facial parts. At last, SVM with polynomial kernel is used to classify expressions. The method is evaluated on JAFFE and MMI databases. The performances are better than other automatic or manual annotated systems.

Facial feature extraction and recognition plays a prominent role in human non-verbal interaction and it is one of the crucial factors among pose, speech, facial expression, behaviour and actions which are used in conveying information about the intentions and emotions of a human being. In this article an extended local binary pattern is used for the feature extraction process and a principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction. The projections of the sample and model images are calculated and compared by Euclidean distance method. The combination of extended local binary pattern and PCA (ELBP+PCA) improves the accuracy of the recognition rate and also diminishes the evaluation complexity. The evaluation of proposed facial expression recognition approach will focus on the performance of the recognition rate. A series of tests are performed for the validation of algorithms and to compare the accuracy of the methods on the JAFFE, Extended Cohn-Kanade images database.
