Automatic Facial Expression Recognition System

摘要

Over the last two decades, the advances in computer vision and pattern recognition power have opened the door to new opportunity of automatic facial expression recognition system In this work, we have introduced a new feature-based approach for facial expressions recognition. The proposed approach provides full automatic solution to identify human expressions as well as overcoming facial expressions variation and intensity problems. Facial features component were automatically detected and segmented. Then, we have detected facial feature points which go with facial expression deformations. Afterwards, distances between these points were computed and used through Data mining technique to generate a set of relevant prediction rules able to classify facial expressions. We took into account the intensity of JOY expression. Thus, we have defined SMILE expression as the lowest intensity of JOY. Seven facial expression classes were defined: JOY, SMILE, SURPRISE, DISGUST, ANGER, SADNESS, and FEAR We have appraised experimental study to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution.
