Abstract

This paper suggests an approach to automatic facial expression recognition for images of frontal faces. Two methods of appearance features extraction is combined: Local Binary Pattern (LBP) on the whole face region and Eigenfaces on the eyes-eyebrows and/or on the mouth regions. Support Vector Machines (SVM), K Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) are applied separately as learning technique to generate classifiers for facial expression recognition. Furthermore, we conduct to the many empirical studies to fix the optimal parameters of the approach. We use three baseline databases to validate our approach in which we record interesting results compared to the related works regardless of using faces under controlled and uncontrolled environment.
