Face Emotion Recognization Using Dataset Augmentation Based on Neural Network
This work addresses facial expression recognition for applications in human-computer interaction and healthcare, but it appears incremental as it uses existing methods on standard datasets.
The paper tackles facial expression recognition by applying a hybrid data augmentation method to two public datasets, achieving remarkable results with four benchmark models.
Facial expression is one of the most external indications of a person's feelings and emotions. In daily conversation, according to the psychologist, only 7% and 38% of information is communicated through words and sounds respective, while up to 55% is through facial expression. It plays an important role in coordinating interpersonal relationships. Ekman and Friesen recognized six essential emotions in the nineteenth century depending on a cross-cultural study, which indicated that people feel each basic emotion in the same fashion despite culture. As a branch of the field of analyzing sentiment, facial expression recognition offers broad application prospects in a variety of domains, including the interaction between humans and computers, healthcare, and behavior monitoring. Therefore, many researchers have devoted themselves to facial expression recognition. In this paper, an effective hybrid data augmentation method is used. This approach is operated on two public datasets, and four benchmark models see some remarkable results.
