Motion and Geometric Feature Analysis for Real-time Automatic Micro-expression Recognition Systems
2021
The trend of real-time micro-expression recognition systems has increased with recent advancements in human-computer interaction (HCI) in security and healthcare. Several studies in this field contributed towards recognition accuracy, while few studies look into addressing the computation costs. In this paper, two approaches for micro-expression feature extraction are analyzed for real-time automatic micro-expression recognition. Firstly, motion-based approach, which calculates motion of subtle changes from an image sequence and present as features. Then, secondly, a low computational geometric-based feature extraction technique, a very popular method for facial expression recognition in real-time. These approaches were integrated in a developed system together with a facial landmark detection algorithm and a classifier for real-time analysis. Moreover, the recognition performance were evaluated using SMIC, CASME, CAS(ME)2 and SAMM datasets. The results suggest that the optimized Bi-WOOF (leveraging on motion-based features) yields the highest accuracy of 68.5%, while the full-face graph (leveraging on geometric-based features) yields 75.53% on the SAMM dataset. On the other hand, the optimized Bi-WOOF processes sample at 0.36 seconds and full-face graph processes sample at 0.10 seconds with a 640x480 image size. All experiments were performed on an Intel i5-3470 machine.
