A main directional maximal difference analysis for spotting facial movements from long-term videos

چکیده
There is an increasing interests in micro-expression researches. Spotting micro-expressions in long-term videos is very important, not only for providing clues for lie detection, but also for reducing the labor required to collect micro-expression data. However, little progress has been made in spotting micro-expressions. In this paper, we propose a Main Directional Maximal Difference (MDMD) Analysis for micro-expression spotting. MDMD uses the magnitude maximal difference in the main direction of optical flow features to spot facial movements, including micro-expressions. Using block structured facial regions, MDMD obtains more accurate features of movement of expressions for automatically spotting micro-expressions and macro-expressions from videos. This method involves both the temporal and spatial locations of face movements. Evaluations using the CAS(ME) database containing micro-expressions and macro-expressions show that MDMD is more robust than some state-of-the-art algorithms.

A Main Directional Maximal Difference Analysis for Spotting Micro-expressions
Micro-expressions are facial expressions that have a short duration (generally less than 0.5 seconds), involuntary appearance and low intensity of movement. They are regarded as unique cues revealing the hidden emotions of an individual. Although methods for the spotting and recognition of general facial expressions have been investigated, little progress has been made in the automatic spotting...
متن کاملA Facial Expression Recognition System from Depth Video
In this work, a novel approach is proposed to recognize some facial expressions from time-sequential depth videos. Local Directional Pattern (LDP) features are extracted from the time-sequential depth faces that are followed by Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to make the features more robust. Finally, the robust local features are applied with Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for facial expressio...
متن کاملAutomatic Micro-expression Recognition from Long Video Using a Single Spotted Apex
Recently, micro-expression recognition has seen an increase of interest from psychological and computer vision communities. As microexpressions are generated involuntarily on a person’s face, and are usually a manifestation of repressed feelings of the person. Most existing works pay attention to either the detection or spotting of micro-expression frames or the categorization of type of micro-...
متن کاملA Piecewise Bézier Volume Deformation Model and Its Applications in Facial Motion Capture
Capturing real facial motions from videos enables automatic creation of dynamic models for facial animation. In this paper, we propose an explanation-based facial motion tracking algorithm based on a piecewise Bézier volume deformation model (PBVD). The PBVD is a suitable model both for synthesis and analysis of facial images. With this model, basic facial movements, or action units, are first ...
متن کاملLong-term Multi-granularity Deep Framework for Driver Drowsiness Detection
For real-world driver drowsiness detection from videos, the variation of head pose is so large that the existing methods on global face is not capable of extracting effective features, such as looking aside and lowering head. Temporal dependencies with variable length are also rarely considered by the previous approaches, e.g., yawning and speaking. In this paper, we propose a Longterm Multi-gr...
