In-the-wild Facial Expression Recognition in Extreme Poses
In the computer research area, facial expression recognition is a hot
research problem. Recent years, the research has moved from the lab environment
to in-the-wild circumstances. It is challenging, especially under extreme
poses. But current expression detection systems are trying to avoid the pose
effects and gain the general applicable ability. In this work, we solve the
problem in the opposite approach. We consider the head poses and detect the
expressions within special head poses. Our work includes two parts: detect the
head pose and group it into one pre-defined head pose class; do facial
expression recognize within each pose class. Our experiments show that the
recognition results with pose class grouping are much better than that of
direct recognition without considering poses. We combine the hand-crafted
features, SIFT, LBP and geometric feature, with deep learning feature as the
representation of the expressions. The handcrafted features are added into the
deep learning framework along with the high level deep learning features. As a
comparison, we implement SVM and random forest to as the prediction models. To
train and test our methodology, we labeled the face dataset with 6 basic
expressions.Comment: Published on ICGIP201
