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 expressions are a form of non-verbal communication, they appear as changes on the surface of the facial skin according to one's inner emotional states, aims, or social communications. Classification of these expressions is a normal process for humans, but it is a challenging task for machines.Lately, interest in facial expression recognition has grown, and many systems have been developed to classify expressions from facial images. Any expression recognition system is comprised of three steps. The first one is face acquisition, then feature extraction, and finally classification. The classification accuracy depends primarily on the feature extraction step.  Therefore, in this research we study many texture feature extraction descriptors and compare their results under the same preprocessing circumstances; moreover, we propose two improvements for one of these descriptors, which give better results than the original one. We validate the results on two commonly used databases for expression recognition using Matlab programming language, wishing all of that to be an interesting point for researchers in this field.

The capability of recognizing human facial expression plays an important role in advanced human-robot interaction development. Through recognizing facial expressions, a robot can interact with a user in a more natural and friendly manner. In this paper, we proposed a facial expression recognition system based on an embedded image processing platform to classify different facial expressions on-line in real time. A low-cost embedded vision system has been designed and realized for robotic applications using a CMOS image sensor and digital signal processor (DSP). The current design acquires thirty 640x480 image frames per second (30 fps). The proposed emotion recognition algorithm has been successfully implemented on the real-time vision system. Experimental results on a pet robot show that the robot can interact with a person in a responding manner. The developed image processing platform is effective for accelerating the recognition speed to 25 recognitions per second with an average on-line recognition rate of 74.4% for five facial expressions.

Expression Recognition

Facial expressions recognition is a crucial task in pattern recognition and it becomes even crucial when cross-cultural emotions are encountered. Various studies in the past have shown that all the facial expressions are not innate and universal, but many of them are learned and culture-dependent. Extreme facial expression recognition methods employ different datasets for training and later use it for testing and demostrate high accuracy in recognition. Their performances degrade drastically when expression images are taken from different cultures. Moreover, there are many existing facial expression patterns which cannot be generated and used as training data in single training session. A facial expression recognition system can maintain its high accuracy and robustness globally and for a longer period if the system possesses the ability to learn incrementally. We also propose a novel classification algorithm for multinomial classification problems. It is an efficient classifier and can be a good choice for base classifier in real-time applications. We propose a facial expression recognition system that can learn incrementally. We use Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features to represent the expression space. The performance of the system is tested on static images from six different databases containing expressions from various cultures. The experiments using the incremental learning classification demonstrate promising results.

Automatic analysis of facial expressions is rapidly becoming an area of intense interest in computer vision and artificial intelligence research communities. In this paper an approach is presented for facial expression recognition of the six basic prototype expressions (i.e., joy, surprise, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust) based on Facial Action Coding System (FACS). The approach is attempting to utilize a combination of different transforms (Walid let hybrid transform); they consist of Fast Fourier Transform; Radon transform and Multiwavelet transform for the feature extraction. Korhonen Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) then used for patterns clustering based on the features obtained from the hybrid transform above. The result shows that the method has very good accuracy in facial expression recognition. However, the proposed method has many promising features that make it interesting. The approach provides a new method of feature extraction in which overcome the problem of the illumination, faces that varies from one individual to another quite considerably due to different age, ethnicity, gender and cosmetic also it does not require a precise normalization and lighting equalization. An average clustering accuracy of 94.8% is achieved for six basic expressions, where different databases had been used for the test of the method.

This paper presents an efficient method of recognition of facial expressions in a video. The works proposes highly efficient facial expression recognition system using PCA optimized by Genetic Algorithm .Reduced computational time and comparable efficiency in terms of its ability to recognize correctly are the benchmarks of this work. Video sequences contain more information than still images hence are in the research subject now-a-days and have much more activities during the expression actions. We use PCA, a statistical method to reduce the dimensionality and are used to extract features with the help of covariance analysis to generate Eigen –components of the images. The Eigen-components as a feature input is optimized by Genetic algorithm to reduce the computation cost.

Facial expression is an important form of nonverbal communication, as it is noted that 55% of what humans communicate is expressed in facial expressions. There are several applications of facial expressions in diverse fields including medicine, security, gaming, and even business enterprises. Thus, currently, automatic facial expression recognition is a hotbed research area that attracts lots of grants and therefore the need to understand the trends very well. This study, as a result, aims to review selected published works in the domain of study and conduct valuable analysis to determine the most common and useful algorithms employed in the study. We selected published works from 2010 to 2021 and extracted, analyzed, and summarized the findings based on the most used techniques in feature extraction, feature selection, validation, databases, and classification. The result of the study indicates strongly that local binary pattern (LBP), principal component analysis (PCA), saturated vector machine (SVM), CK+, and 10-fold cross-validation are the most widely used feature extraction, feature selection, classifier, database, and validation method used, respectively. Therefore, in line with our findings, this study provides recommendations for research specifically for new researchers with little or no background as to which methods they can employ and strive to improve.

Facial expression is one of the most powerful, natural, and abrupt means for human beings which have the knack to communicate emotion and regulate inter-personal behaviour. In this paper we present a novel approach for facial expression detection using decision tree. Facial expression information is mostly concentrate on facial expression information regions, so the mouth, eye and eyebrow regions are segmented from the facial expression images firstly. Using these templates we calculate 30 facial characteristics points (FCP’s). These facial characteristic points describe the position and shape of the above three organs to find diverse parameters which are input to the decision tree for recognizing different facial expressions.
