Facial expression provides an important behavioral measure for studies of emotion, cognitive processes, and social interaction. Facial expression recognition has recently become a promising research area. Its applications include human-computer interfaces, human emotion analysis, and medical care and cure. In this paper, we investigate various feature representation and expression classification schemes to recognize seven different facial expressions, such as happy, neutral, angry, disgust, sad, fear and surprise, in the JAFFE database. Experimental results show that the method of combining 2D-LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) and SVM (Support Vector Machine) outperforms others. The recognition rate of this method is 95.71% by using leave-one-out strategy and 94.13% by using cross-validation strategy. It takes only 0.0357 second to process one image of size 256 × 256.

AbstractHerein, a three-stage support vector machine (SVM) for facial expression recognition is proposed. The first stage comprises 21 SVMs, which are all the binary combinations of seven expressions. If one expression is dominant, then the first stage will suffice; if two are dominant, then the second stage is used; and, if three are dominant, the third stage is used. These multilevel stages help reduce the possibility of experiencing an error as much as possible. Different image preprocessing stages are used to ensure that the features attained from the face detected have a meaningful and proper contribution to the classification stage. Facial expressions are created as a result of muscle movements on the face. These subtle movements are detected by the histogram-oriented gradient feature, because it is sensitive to the shapes of objects. The features attained are then used to train the three-stage SVM. Two different validation methods were used: the leave-one-out and K-fold tests. Experimental results on three databases (Japanese Female Facial Expression, Extended Cohn-Kanade Dataset, and Radboud Faces Database) show that the proposed system is competitive and has better performance compared with other works.

Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a significant part in artificial intelligence and computer vision. However, most of facial expression recognition methods have not obtained satisfactory results based on low-level features. The existed methods used in facial expression recognition encountered the major issues of linear inseparability, large computational burden, and data redundancy. To obtain satisfactory results, we propose an innovative deep learning (DL) model using the kernel entropy component analysis network (KECANet) and directed acyclic graph support vector machine (DAGSVM). We use the KECANet in the feature extraction stage. In the stage of output, binary hashing and blockwise histograms are adopted. We sent the final output features to the DAGSVM classifier for expression recognition. We test the performance of our proposed method on three databases of CK+, JAFFE, and CMU Multi-PIE. According to the experiment results, the proposed method can learn high-level features and provide more recognition information in the stage of training, obtaining a higher recognition rate.

The facial expression recognition technology has been widespread concerned and researched, and many methods have been presented. This paper focuses on studying and analyzing the feature extraction, feature dimension reduction and two-against-two multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) method, and an algorithm is proposed for recognition of six basic facial expressions. According to expression feature information in the different face region, the algorithm adopts local nonuniform feature point extraction to reduce the feature dimension. After transforming the feature points with Gabor filters, the Gabor expression features are obtained. And the feature dimension is further reduced by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT). At last, the tow-against-two classification method and an optimum decision scheme are used to realize quick and accurate expression classification. Experimental results show the algorithm can achieve higher recognition rate, recognition speed and stronger robust.

Human face analysis has attracted a large number of researchers from various fields, such as computer vision, image processing, neurophysiology or psychology. One of the particular aspects of human face analysis is encompassed by facial expression recognition task. A novel method based on phase congruency for extracting the facial features used in the facial expression classification procedure is developed. Considering a set of image samples comprising humans expressing various expressions, this new approach computes the phase congruency map between the samples. The analysis is performed in the frequency space where the similarity (or dissimilarity) between sample phases is measured to form discriminant features. The experiments were run using samples from two facial expression databases. To assess the method's performance, the technique is compared to the state-of-the art techniques utilized for classifying facial expressions, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Gabor jets. The features extracted by the aforementioned techniques are further classified using two classifiers: a distance-based classifier and a Support Vector Machine-based classifier. Experiments reveal superior facial expression recognition performance for the proposed approach with respect to other techniques.

Facial expression recognition computer technology can obtain the emotional information of the person through the expression of the person to judge the state and intention of the person. The article proposes a hybrid model that combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and dense SIFT features. This model is used for facial expression recognition. First, the article builds a CNN model and learns the local features of the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. Then, the article features are sent to the support vector machine (SVM) multiclassifier to obtain the posterior probabilities of various features. Finally, the output result of the model is decided and fused to obtain the final recognition result. The experimental results show that the improved convolutional neural network structure ER2013 and CK+ data sets’ facial expression recognition rate increases by 0.06% and 2.25%, respectively.

Facial expression recognition has been researched much in recent years because of their applications in intelligent communication systems. Many methods have been developed based on extracting Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features associating different classifying techniques in order to get more and more better effects of facial expression recognition. In this work, we propose a novel method for recognizing facial expressions based on Local Binary Pattern features and Support Vector Machine with two effective improvements. First is the preprocessing step and second is the method of dividing face images into nonoverlap square regions for extracting LBP features. The method was experimented on three typical kinds of database: small (213 images), medium (2040 images) and large (5130 images). Experimental results show the effectiveness of our method for obtaining remarkably better recognition rate in comparison with other methods.

AbstractThis study presents a new color-depth based face database gathered from different genders and age ranges from Iranian subjects. Using suitable databases, it is possible to validate and assess available methods in different research fields. This database has application in different fields such as face recognition, age estimation and Facial Expression Recognition and Facial Micro Expressions Recognition. Image databases based on their size and resolution are mostly large. Color images usually consist of three channels namely Red, Green and Blue. But in the last decade, another aspect of image type has emerged, named “depth image”. Depth images are used in calculating range and distance between objects and the sensor. Depending on the depth sensor technology, it is possible to acquire range data differently. Kinect sensor version 2 is capable of acquiring color and depth data simultaneously. Facial expression recognition is an important field in image processing, which has multiple uses from animation to psychology. Currently, there is a few numbers of color-depth (RGB-D) facial micro expressions recognition databases existing. With adding depth data to color data, the accuracy of final recognition will be increased. Due to the shortage of color-depth based facial expression databases and some weakness in available ones, a new and almost perfect RGB-D face database is presented in this paper, covering Middle-Eastern face type. In the validation section, the database will be compared with some famous benchmark face databases. For evaluation, Histogram Oriented Gradients features are extracted, and classification algorithms such as Support Vector Machine, Multi-Layer Neural Network and a deep learning method, called Convolutional Neural Network or are employed. The results are so promising.
