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 (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.

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.

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.

The facial expression recognition system is playing vital role in many organizations, institutes, shopping malls to know about their stakeholders’ need and mind set. It comes under the broad category of computer vision. Facial expression can easily explain the true intention of a person without any kind of conversation. The main objective of this work is to improve the performance of facial expression recognition in the benchmark datasets like CK+, JAFFE. In order to achieve the needed accuracy metrics, the convolution neural network was constructed to extract the facial expression features automatically and combined with the handcrafted features extracted using Histogram of Gradients (HoG) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) methods. Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) is built to predict the emotions using the combined features. The proposed method produces promising results as compared to the recent work in [1].This is mainly needed in the working environment, shopping malls and other public places to effectively understand the likeliness of the stakeholders at that moment.
