Abstract
Robust facial expression recognition under facial occlusion condition is the main research orientation, which has important research significance. Many problems are caused by facial occlusion, not only missing facial expression information, but also bringing outliers or lots of noise. Aiming at the point, firstly, the face to be recognized is reconstructed using robust principal component analysis (RPCA); secondly, Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces are used to extract facial expression features respectively; finally, nearest neighbor method and support vector machine are used as classifiers. Facial expression recognition experiments are implemented in different occlusion conditions on Japanese female facial expression database (JAFFE). On the condition of big occlusion and small sample, RPCA algorithms gained better recognition results than many other methods, showing that this method based on RPCA is robust to kinds of facial occlusions.
