A citation k-NN approach for facial expression recognition

The identification of facial expressions with human emotions plays a key role in non-verbal human communication and has applications in several areas. In this work, we propose a descriptor based on areas and angles of triangles formed by the landmarks from face images. We test this descriptors for f...

Sumario:The identification of facial expressions with human emotions plays a key role in non-verbal human communication and has applications in several areas. In this work, we propose a descriptor based on areas and angles of triangles formed by the landmarks from face images. We test this descriptors for facial expression recognition by means of an adaptation of the k-Nearest Neighbors classifier called Citation-kNN in which the training examples come in the form of sets of feature vectors. Comparisons with other state-of-the-art techniques on the CK+ dataset are shown. The descriptor remains robust and precise in the recognition of expressions. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018.
