Classifying Facial Action

چکیده
The Facial Action Coding System, (FACS), devised by Ekman and Friesen (1978), provides an objective meanS for measuring the facial muscle contractions involved in a facial expression. In this paper, we approach automated facial expression analysis by detecting and classifying facial actions. We generated a database of over 1100 image sequences of 24 subjects performing over 150 distinct facial actions or action combinations. We compare three different approaches to classifying the facial actions in these images: Holistic spatial analysis based on principal components of graylevel images; explicit measurement of local image features such as wrinkles; and template matching with motion flow fields. On a dataset containing six individual actions and 20 subjects, these methods had 89%, 57%, and 85% performances respectively for generalization to novel subjects. When combined, performance improved to 92%.

متن کاملClassifying Facial Actions
The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) [23] is an objective method for quantifying facial movement in terms of component actions. This system is widely used in behavioral investigations of emotion, cognitive processes, and social interaction. The coding is presently performed by highly trained human experts. This paper explores and compares techniques for automatically recognizing facial action...
متن کاملRecognizing facial action units using independent component analysis and support vector machine
Facial expression provides a crucial behavioral measure for studies of human emotion, cognitive processes, and social interaction. In this paper, we focus on recognizing facial action units (AUs), which represent the subtle change of facial expressions. We adopt ICA (independent component analysis) as the feature extraction and representation method and SVM (support vector machine) as the patte...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition as an Implicit Customers’ Feedback
In social interaction, face is playing an important role. Social psychology researches had agreed that among the three mediums in communication, facial expression is the one that is always active. Mehrabian [1] indicated that the verbal part of a message contributes only for 7 percent to the effect of the message as a whole; the vocal part contributes for 38 percent, while facial expression of ...
متن کاملObjective Classes for Micro-Facial Expression Recognition
Micro-expressions are brief spontaneous facial expressions that appear on a face when a person conceals an emotion, making them different to normal facial expressions in subtlety and duration. Currently, emotion classes within the CASME II dataset are based on Action Units and self-reports, creating conflicts during machine learning training. We will show that classifying expressions using Acti...
