A Hierarchal Approach to Facial Expression Recognition using Active Appearance Models for Service Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
For better interaction between human beings and service robots we need to detect the emotional state of the human user. This can help the robot adapt to the user’s needs and can be used to increase the naturalness of the interaction. Our work proposes a hierarchal approach to facial expression recognition based extracting some facial features with the help of an Active Appearance Model. We introduce a concept of dynamic feature parameters and then make use of both local static features and dynamic features for classification. KeywordsActive Appearance Model, Facial Expression Recognition, Service robots

Facial Expression Recognition Based on Anatomical Structure of Human Face
Automatic analysis of human facial expressions is one of the challenging problems in machine vision systems. It has many applications in human-computer interactions such as, social signal processing, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this paper, we develop a new method for automatic facial expression recognition based on facial muscle anatomy and hum...
متن کاملModel Based Face Recognition Across Facial Expressions
This paper describes a novel idea of face recognition across facial expression variations using model based approach. The approach follows in 1) modeling an active appearance model (AAM) for the face image, 2) using optical flow based temporal features for facial expression variations estimation, 3) and finally applying binary decision trees as a classifier for facial identification. The novelt...
متن کاملImproving LNMF Performance of Facial Expression Recognition via Significant Parts Extraction using Shapley Value
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithms have been utilized in a wide range of real applications. NMF is done by several researchers to its part based representation property especially in the facial expression recognition problem. It decomposes a face image into its essential parts (e.g. nose, lips, etc.) but in all previous attempts, it is neglected that all features achieved by NMF ...
متن کاملA Model Based Approach for Expressions Invariant Face Recognition
This paper describes an idea of recognizing the human face in the presence of strong facial expressions using model based approach. The features extracted for the face image sequences can be efficiently used for face recognition. The approach follows in 1) modeling an active appearance model (AAM) parameters for the face image, 2) using optical flow based temporal features for facial expression...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition Using Active Appearance Models
A framework for automatic facial expression recognition combining Active Appearance Model (AAM) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is proposed. Seven different expressions of several subjects, representing the neutral face and the facial emotions of happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear and disgust were analysed. The proposed solution starts by describing the human face by an AAM model,...
