many researchers adopt local binary pattern for pattern analysis. however, the long histogram created by local binary pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. this paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

Introduction: Facial expression to pain is an important pain indicator; however, facial movements look unresponsive when perceiving mild pain. The present study investigates whether pain magnitude modulates the relationship between subjective pain rating and an observer’s evaluation of facial expression.  Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers were recruited to obtain 108 samples for pa...

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...

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 ...

Facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. In recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. As machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...

classical lbp such as complexity and high dimensions of feature vectors that make it necessary to apply dimension reduction processes. in this paper, we introduce an improved lbp algorithm to solve these problems that utilizes fast pca algorithm for reduction of vector dimensions of extracted features. in other words, proffer method (fast pca+lbp) is an improved lbp algorithm that is extracted ...
