is directly associated to the expression of the input face (Figure 29). Given the parameters from the expression recognition module, the system computes the shape of different visual features and generates a 2D graphical face model. Figure 29. The response of the system The geometrical shape of each visual feature follows certain rules that aim to set the outlook to convey the appropriate emotional meaning. Each feature is reconstructed using circles and simple polynomial functions as lines, parabola parts and cubic functions. A five-pixel window is used to smooth peaks so as to provide shapes with a more realistic appearance. The eye upper and lower lid was approximated with the same cubic function. The eyebrow’s thickness above and below the middle line was calculated from three segments as a parabola, a straight line and a quarter of a circle as the inner corner. A thickness function was added and subtracted to and from the middle line of the eyebrow. The shape of the mouth varies strongly as emotion changes from sadness to happiness or disgust. The manipulation of the face for setting a certain expression implies to mix different emotions. Each emotion has a percentage value by which they contribute to the face general expression. The new control set values for the visual features are computed by the difference of each emotion control set and the neutral face control set, and make a linear combination of the resulting six vectors. - 88 -
TESTING AND RESULTS The following steps have been taken into account for training the models for the facial expression recognition system: - Obtaining the (Cohn-Kanade) database for building the system’s knowledge - Conversion of data base images from ‘png’ to ‘bmp’ format, 24 bits/pixel - Increasing the quality of the images through some enhancement procedures (light, removing strips, applying filters, etc.) - Extracting some Facial Characteristic Points (FCPs) by using a special tool (FCP Management Application) - Computing the value of some parameters according to a given model. Applying a discretization procedure by using a special application (Parameter Discretization Application) - Determining the facial expression for each of the samples in the database by analyzing the sequence of Action Units (AUs). The tool used to process the files in the database was Facial Expression Assignement Application. - Using different kind of reasoning mechanisms for emotion recognition. The training step took into account the data provided from the previous steps. Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) and back-propagation Artificial Neuronal Networks (ANN) were the main modalities for recognition. - Principal Component Analysis technique was used as an enhancement procedure for the emotion recognition. The steps that imply testing the recognition models are: - Capture the video signal containing the facial expression - Detecting the Facial Characteristic Points automatically - Computing the value of the model parameters - Using the parameter values for emotion detection
