Micro-Facial Movements: An Investigation on Spatio-Temporal Descriptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to investigate whether micro-facial movement sequences can be distinguished from neutral face sequences. As a micro-facial movement tends to be very quick and subtle, classifying when a movement occurs compared to the face without movement can be a challenging computer vision problem. Using local binary patterns on three orthogonal planes and Gaussian derivatives, local features, when interpreted by machine learning algorithms, can accurately describe when a movement and non-movement occurs. This method can then be applied to help aid humans in detecting when the small movements occur. This also differs from current literature as most only concentrate in emotional expression recognition. Using the CASME II dataset, the results from the investigation of different descriptors have shown a higher accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods.

A spatial-temporal framework based on histogram of gradients and optical flow for facial expression recognition in video sequences
Facial expression causes different parts of the facial region to change over time and thus dynamic descriptors are inherently more suitable than static descriptors for recognising facial expressions. In this paper, we extend the spatial pyramid histogram of gradients to spatio-temporal domain to give 3-dimensional facial features and integrate them with dense optical flow to give a spatio-tempo...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation about the Integration of Facial Dynamics in Video-Based Face Recognition
Recent psychological and neural studies indicate that when people talk their changing facial expressions and head movements provide a dynamic cue for recognition. Therefore, both fixed facial features and dynamic personal characteristics are used in the human visual system (HVS) to recognize faces. However, most automatic recognition systems use only the static information as it is unclear how ...

A great deal of perceptual and social information is conveyed by facial motion. Here, we investigated observers’ sensitivity to the complex spatio-temporal information in facial expressions and what cues they use to judge the similarity of these movements. We motioncaptured four facial expressions and decomposed them into time courses of semantically meaningful local facial actions (e.g., eyebr...

Recognition of visual events as a video analysis task has become popular in machine learning community. While the traditional approaches for detection of video events have been used for a long time, the recently evolved deep learning based methods have revolutionized this area. They have enabled event recognition systems to achieve detection rates which were not reachable by traditional approac...
متن کاملObjective Micro-Facial Movement Detection Using FACS-Based Regions and Baseline Evaluation
Micro-facial expressions are regarded as an important human behavioural event that can highlight emotional deception. Spotting these movements is difficult for humans and machines, however research into using computer vision to detect subtle facial expressions is growing in popularity. This paper proposes an individualised baseline micro-movement detection method using 3D Histogram of Oriented ...
