چکیده

Emotion recognition plays an effective and important role in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Recently, various approaches to emotion recognition have been proposed in the literature, but they do not provide a powerful approach to recognize emotions from Partially Occluded Facial Images. In this paper, we propose a new method for Emotion Recognition from Facial Expression using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS). This novel method is even able to recognize emotions from Partially Occluded Facial Images. Moreover, this research describes new algorithms for facial feature extraction that demonstrate satisfactory performance and precision. In addition, one of the main factors that have an important influence on the final precision of fuzzy inference systems is the membership function parameters. Therefore, we use a Genetic Algorithm for parameter-tuning of the membership functions. Experimental results report an average precision rate of 93.96% for Emotion Recognition of six basic emotions, which is so promising. & 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Introducing a method for extracting features from facial images based on applying transformations to features obtained from convolutional neural networks

In pattern recognition, features are denoting some measurable characteristics of an observed phenomenon and feature extraction is the procedure of measuring these characteristics. A set of features can be expressed by a feature vector which is used as the input data of a system. An efficient feature extraction method can improve the performance of a machine learning system such as face recognit...

Local gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
