A New Motion Based Fully Automatic Facial Expression Recognition System

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNIP,volume 7143)

Abstract

In this paper, a new motion based person-independent fully Automatic Facial Expression Recognition system is introduced. The system uses gradient based optical flow for muscle movement estimation from video. Decision tree generated rule base is used for recognition purpose. The performance of the system is validated by human psycho-visual judgment.

Keywords

  • Basic facial expression recognition system
  • Gradient based optical flow
  • Decision tree
