Abstract Facial emotion recognition extracts the human emotions from the images and videos. As such, it requires an algorithm to understand and model the relationships between faces and facial expressions, and to recognize human emotions. Recently, deep learning models are extensively utilized enhance the facial emotion recognition rate. However, the deep learning models suffer from the overfitting issue. Moreover, deep learning models perform poorly for images which have poor visibility and noise. Therefore, in this paper, a novel deep learning based facial emotion recognition tool is proposed. Initially, a joint trilateral filter is applied to the obtained dataset to remove the noise. Thereafter, contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is applied to the filtered images to improve the visibility of images. Finally, a deep convolutional neural network is trained. Nadam optimizer is also utilized to optimize the cost function of deep convolutional neural networks. Experiments are achieved by using the benchmark dataset and competitive human emotion recognition models. Comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed facial emotion recognition model performs considerably better compared to the competitive models.

Traditionally, several existing filters are proposed for removing a specific type of noise. However, in practice, the image communicated through the communication channel may be contaminated with more than one type of noise. Switching bilateral filter (SBF) is proposed for removing mixed noise by detecting a contaminated noise at the concerned pixel and recalculates the filter parameters. Although the filter parameters of SBF are sensitive to type and strength of noise, the traditional SBF filter has not taken the strength into account. Therefore, the traditional SBF filter cannot remove the mixed noise efficiently. In this paper, we propose a smart switching bilateral filter (SSBF) to outperform a demerit of traditional SBF filter. In the first stage of SSBF, we propose a new scheme of noise estimation using domain weight (DW) pattern which characterizes the distribution of the different intensity between a considered pixel and its neighbors. By using this estimation, the types of mixed noises and their strength are estimated accurately. The filter parameters of SBF are selected from the table where the spatial weight and radiometric weight are already learned. As a result, SSBF can improve the performance of traditional SBF and can remove mixed noises efficiently without knowing the exact type of contaminated mixed noise. Moreover, the performance of SSBF is compared to the optimal SBF filter (OSBF) where OSBF sets the optimal value of filter parameters on the contaminated mixed noise and three new filters — block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D), nonlocal sparse representation (NCSR), and trilateral filter (TF). The simulation results showed that the performance of SSBF outperforms BM3D, NCSR, TF, and SBF and is near to optimal SBF filter, even if the SSBF does not know the type of mixed noise.

Depth image super-resolution (SR) is a technique that uses signal processing technology to enhance the resolution of a low-resolution (LR) depth image. Generally, external database or high-resolution (HR) images are needed to acquire prior information for SR reconstruction. To overcome the limitations, a depth image SR method without reference to any external images is proposed. In this paper, a high-quality edge map is first constructed using a sparse coding method, which uses a dictionary learned from the original images at different scales. Then, the high-quality edge map is used to guide the interpolation for depth images by a modified joint trilateral filter. During the interpolation, some information of gradient and structural similarity (SSIM) are added to preserve the detailed information and suppress the noise. The proposed method can not only preserve the sharpness of image edge, but also avoid the dependence on database. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to some state-of-the-art depth image SR methods.
