Abstract
Facial expression recognition is to determine the emotional state of the face regardless of its identity. Deriving an effective facial representation from original face images is a vital step for successful facial expression recognition. This paper presents a biological vision-based facial description, called Perceived Facial Images “PFI” applied to facial expression recognition. For the classification step, Scale Invariant Feature Transform “SIFT” is used to extract a local feature in images. Then, a matching computation is processed between a testing image and all train images for recognizing facial expression. To evaluate, the proposed approach is tested on the GEMEP FERA 2011 database and the Cohn-Kanade Facial Expression database. To compare, the developed algorithm achieves better experimental results than the other approaches in the literature.
