Abstract
AbstractAutomatic facial expression analysis remains challenging due to its low recognition accuracy and poor robustness. In this study, we utilized active learning and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms to classify facial action units (AU) for human facial expression recognition. Active learning was used to detect the targeted facial expression AUs, while an SVM was utilized to classify different AUs and ultimately map them to their corresponding facial expressions. Active learning reduces the number of non-support vectors in the training sample set and shortens the labeling and training times without affecting the performance of the classifier, thereby reducing the cost of labeling samples and improving the training speed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress correlated noise and achieve higher recognition rates than principal component analysis and a human observer on seven different facial expressions.
