Detecting lies is crucial in many areas, such as airport security, police investigations, counter-terrorism, etc. One technique to detect lies is through the identification of facial micro-expressions, which are brief, involuntary expressions shown on the face of humans when they are trying to conceal or repress emotions. Manual measurement of micro-expressions is hard labor, time consuming, and inaccurate. This paper presents the Design and Development of a Lie Detection System using Facial Micro-Expressions. It is an automated vision system designed and implemented using LabVIEW. An Embedded Vision System (EVS) is used to capture the subject's interview. Then, a LabVIEW program converts the video into series of frames and processes the frames, each at a time, in four consecutive stages. The first two stages deal with color conversion and filtering. The third stage applies geometric-based dynamic templates on each frame to specify key features of the facial structure. The fourth stage extracts the needed measurements in order to detect facial micro-expressions to determine whether the subject is lying or not. Testing results show that this system can be used for interpreting eight facial expressions: happiness, sadness, joy, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, and contempt, and detecting facial micro-expressions. It extracts accurate output that can be employed in other fields of studies such as psychological assessment. The results indicate high precision that allows future development of applications that respond to spontaneous facial expressions in real time.
