Abstract

Automatic machine-based Facial Expression Analysis (FEA) has made substantial progress in the past few decades driven by its importance for applications in psychology, security, health, entertainment, and human–computer interaction. The vast majority of completed FEA studies are based on nonoccluded faces collected in a controlled laboratory environment. Automatic expression recognition tolerant to partial occlusion remains less understood, particularly in real-world scenarios. In recent years, efforts investigating techniques to handle partial occlusion for FEA have seen an increase. The context is right for a comprehensive perspective of these developments and the state of the art from this perspective. This survey provides such a comprehensive review of recent advances in dataset creation, algorithm development, and investigations of the effects of occlusion critical for robust performance in FEA systems. It outlines existing challenges in overcoming partial occlusion and discusses possible opportunities in advancing the technology. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first FEA survey dedicated to occlusion and aimed at promoting better-informed and benchmarked future work.

An analysis of facial expression recognition under partial facial image occlusion

In this paper, an analysis of the effect of partial occlusion on facial expression recognition is investigated. The classification from partially occluded images in one of the six basic facial expressions is performed using a method based on Gabor ...
Recognizing Action Units for Facial Expression Analysis

Most automatic expression analysis systems attempt to recognize a small set of prototypic expressions, such as happiness, anger, surprise, and fear. Such prototypic expressions, however, occur rather infrequently. Human emotions and intentions are more ...
Facial Expression Recognition under Partial Occlusion Based on Gabor Multi-orientation Features Fusion and Local Gabor Binary Pattern Histogram Sequence
IIH-MSP '13: Proceedings of the 2013 Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal Processing

In this paper, we propose a novel facial expression recognition method under partial occlusion based on Gabor multi-orientation features fusion and local Gabor binary pattern histogram sequence (LGBPHS). Firstly, the Gabor filter is adopted to extract ...
