This paper describes a novel structural approach to recognize the human facial features for emotion recognition. Conventionally, features extracted from facial images are represented by relatively poor representations, such as arrays or sequences, with a static data structure.
This paper describes a novel method of facial representation and recognition based upon adaptive processing of tree structures. Instead of the conventional flat vector representation for a face, a neural network approachbased technique is proposed to transform the Localised Gabor Feature (LGF) vectors extracted from human facial components into Human Face Tree Structure (HFTS) to represent a human face. A structural training algorithm is assigned to train and recognize the face identity in this HFTS representation with the corresponding LGF vectors. By benchmarking using the tested public face databases presented in this paper, our approach is able to achieve accuracy up to 90% under different scenarios of lighting conditions and posture orientations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
