Facial Action Unit Detection With Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Siddhesh Padwal
Facial Action Unit Detection With Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Siddhesh Padwal
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The facial features are the most important tool to understand an individual's state of mind. Automated recognition of facial expressions and particularly Facial Action Units defined by Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is challenging research problem in the field of computer vision and machine learning. Researchers are working on deep learning algorithms to improve state of the art in the area. Automated recognition of facial action units has man applications ranging from developmental psychology to human robot interface design where companies are using this technology to improve their consumer devices (like unlocking phone) and for entertainment like FaceApp. Recent studies …
Deep Siamese Neural Networks For Facial Expression Recognition In The Wild, Wassan Hayale
Deep Siamese Neural Networks For Facial Expression Recognition In The Wild, Wassan Hayale
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The variation of facial images in the wild conditions due to head pose, face illumination, and occlusion can significantly affect the Facial Expression Recognition (FER) performance. Moreover, between subject variation introduced by age, gender, ethnic backgrounds, and identity can also influence the FER performance. This Ph.D. dissertation presents a novel algorithm for end-to-end facial expression recognition, valence and arousal estimation, and visual object matching based on deep Siamese Neural Networks to handle the extreme variation that exists in a facial dataset. In our main Siamese Neural Networks for facial expression recognition, the first network represents the classification framework, where we …
