Automatic Facial Expression Recognition Using Image Processing and Bayesian Regularized Recurrent Neural Network

Facial expressions can be considered as a means of communication by non-verbal signals. They are essential part of human relations. Automatic facial expressions recognition can be imperative for natural human-machine interaction. Automatic facial expressions recognition can be utilized in the field of behavioral science and in the health care department. Although humans perceive the facial expr...
