Evaluation of Gabor-Wavelet-Based Facial Action Unit Recognition in Image Sequences of Increasing Complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous work suggests that Gabor-wavelet-based methods can achieve high sensitivity and specificity for emotionspecified expressions (e.g., happy, sad) and single action units (AUs) of the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). This paper evaluates a Gabor-wavelet-based method to recognize AUs in image sequences of increasing complexity. A recognition rate of 83% is obtained for three single AUs when image sequences contain homogeneous subjects and are without observable head motion. The accuracy of AU recognition decreases to 32% when the number of AUs increases to nine and the image sequences consist of AU combinations, head motion, and non-homogeneous subjects. For comparison, an average recognition rate of 87.6% is achieved for the geometry-feature-based method. The best recognition is a rate of 92.7% obtained by combining Gabor wavelets and geometry features.

An Efficient Hybrid Face Recognition Algorithm Using PCA and GABOR Wavelets
With the rapid development of computers and the increasing, mass use of high-tech mobile devices, vision-based face recognition has advanced significantly. However, it is hard to conclude that the performance of computers surpasses that of humans, as humans have generally exhibited better performance in challenging situations involving occlusion or variations. Motivated by the recognition metho...

The selection of appropriate wavelets is an important target for any application. In this paper Face recognition has been performed using Principal component analysis (PCA), Gaussian based PCA and Gabor based PCA. PCA extracts the relevant information from complex data sets and provides a solution to reduce dimensionality. PCA is based on Euclidean distance calculation which is minimized by app...
متن کاملSelecting Optimal Orientations of Gabor Wavelet Filters for Facial Image Analysis
Gabor wavelet-based methods have been widely used to extract representative features for face analysis. However, the existing methods usually suffer from high computational complexity of Gabor wavelet transform (GWT), and the Gabor parameters are fixed to a few conventional values which are assumed to be the best choice. In this paper we show that, for some facial analysis applications, the con...
متن کاملFirst Results on Facial Feature Segmentation and Recognition using Graph Homomorphisms
A new method for segmenting facial feature regions (e.g. eyebrows, iris, lips, nostrils, ...), in images and video sequences based on graph homomorphisms is introduced in this paper. Firstly, we apply a recently proposed technique based on Gabor Wavelet Networks (GWN) to obtain an approximate location of the facial feature regions in the image. The image is then oversegmented using the watershe...
متن کاملGabor feature based classification using the enhanced fisher linear discriminant model for face recognition
This paper introduces a novel Gabor-Fisher (1936) classifier (GFC) for face recognition. The GFC method, which is robust to changes in illumination and facial expression, applies the enhanced Fisher linear discriminant model (EFM) to an augmented Gabor feature vector derived from the Gabor wavelet representation of face images. The novelty of this paper comes from 1) the derivation of an augmen...
