Facial micro-expression refers to split-second muscle changes in the face, indicating that a person is either consciously or unconsciously suppressing their true emotions and even mental health. Therefore, micro-expression recognition attracts increasing research efforts in both fields of psychology and computer vision. Existing research on micro-expression recognition has mainly used hand-crafted...
Facial expressions play an important role in communication. Impaired facial expression is a common sign of numerous medical conditions, particularly neurological disorders. Accurate automated systems are needed to recognize facial expressions and to reveal valuable information that can be used for diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders. This paper presents a novel deep learning approach...
To solve the problem of training rate decline in neural network caused by too much noise in the traditional image, a new method of expression recognition based on CNN was proposed. First, in order to narrow the face range, face image could be detected from the original image by using the AdaBoost cascade classifier. Then, the coordinates of the eye, mouth and other key parts and brow, nasolabial and...
Most previous algorithms for the recognition of Action Units (AUs) were trained on a small number of sample images. This was due to the limited amount of labeled data available at the time. This meant that data-hungry deep neural networks, which have shown their potential in other computer vision problems, could not be successfully trained to detect AUs. A recent publicly available database with close...
Face recognition is a mature domain with lots of different techniques proposed in the literature. Convolutional neural networks have been the most successful approach to face recognition problem recently. In this work, performance of three different face recognition models are compared. Features are extracted using a pre-trained convolutional neural network. The first model is trained using the available...
Gender recognition from face images is a challenging problem with applications in various knowledge domains, such as biometrics, security and surveillance, human-computer interaction, among others. In this work, we propose and evaluate a novel method for gender recognition based on a geometric descriptor constructed from a pre-defined face shape model. The proposed approach, tested on four different...
Recent work in the recognition of naturalistic expressions, which is also known as spontaneous facial expressions recognition, has attracted researchers' attention due to its importance in different behavioural and clinical applications. The main design challenges in the area of emotion computing for automatic recognition of spontaneous facial expression are the face pose, capture distance, illumination...
Surveillance cameras today often capture NIR (near infrared) images in low-light environments. However, most face datasets accessible for training and verification are only collected in the VIS (visible light) spectrum. It remains a challenging problem to match NIR to VIS face images due to the different light spectrum. Recently, breakthroughs have been made for VIS face recognition by applying deep...
This paper targets on the problem of set to set recognition, which learns the metric between two image sets. Images in each set belong to the same identity. Since images in a set can be complementary, they hopefully lead to higher accuracy in practical applications. However, the quality of each sample cannot be guaranteed, and samples with poor quality will hurt the metric. In this paper, the quality...
Heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) has a prominent importance in sophisticated face recognition systems. Thermal to visible scenario, where the gallery and the probe images are respectively captured in visible and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) band, is one of the most challenging and interesting HFR scenarios. Since the formation of thermal images does not require an external illumination source,...
Eye state recognition is still a challenging work in the field of computer vision. Many researchers have described their methods which can work well with frontal face views, but not with variations of head poses. Some have explained that their methods deal effectively with head pose problems, yet the whole system is complex to implement and consumes a lot of processing time. In this paper, a novel...
The proposed system for automobile security is a face detection and recognition application that control the automobile to be operated or restricted. This system is established for all types of door locks and particularly for automobiles. By using this methodology, resulted a better quality product with respect to documentation standards, code optimization, user acceptance due to adequately efficient,...
Sparse representation based classification (SRC) has been introduced as a new algorithm for face recognition classification instead of the classical gradient-based algorithms. However, there are some limitations that influence the robustness properties in SRC. One of the most effective parameters that impacts the SRC performance is the directory of training samples. It should contain enough samples...

The Eigenface method is a classic face recognition method. This article is based on the method of Eigen face to recognize the facial expression. The aim of this method is to recognize the facial expression stored in a database. It uses a set of single static image with different expression labels as the training database, projected the training image to subspaces. The similar face of the tested expression...
This paper describes the different classifier methods with minimum means of clusters to achieve face recognition rate of humans from the feature extracted of training face image data for many sets of images as a data base. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a robust method used as feature extraction techniques for face recognition but the recognition decreases with the variation of person's actions...
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to face recognition which simultaneously tackles three combined challenges: 1) uneven illumination; 2) partial occlusion; and 3) limited training data. The new approach performs lighting normalization, occlusion de-emphasis and finally face recognition, based on finding the largest matching area (LMA) at each point on the face, as opposed to traditional...
Face recognition systems are designed to handle well-aligned images captured under controlled situations. However real-world images present varying orientations, expressions, and illumination conditions. Traditional face recognition algorithms perform poorly on such images. In this paper we present a method for face recognition adapted to real-world conditions that can be trained using very few training...
The kernel minimum square error classification (KMSEC) algorithm has been widely used in classification problems. It shows a good performance on image data besides the following drawbacks: not sparse in the solutions and sensitive to noises. The latter drawback will result in a decrease in the recognition performance. To this end, we propose an improved (IKMSEC) by using the $L_{2,1}$ -norm regularization,...
Often deep learning methods are associated with huge amounts of training data. The deeper the network gets, the larger is the need for training data. A large amount of labeled data helps the network learn about the variations it needs to handle in the prediction stage. It is not easy for everyone to get access to huge amounts of labeled data leaving a few to have the luxury to design very deep networks...
