Multi-Objective Based Spatio-Temporal Feature Representation Learning Robust to Expression Intensity Variations for Facial Expression Recognition
Abstract
Facial expression recognition (FER) is increasingly gaining importance in various emerging affective computing applications. In practice, achieving accurate FER is challenging due to the large amount of inter-personal variations such as expression intensity variations. In this paper, we propose a new spatio-temporal feature representation learning for FER that is robust to expression intensity variations. The proposed method utilizes representative expression-states (e.g., onset, apex and offset of expressions) which can be specified in facial sequences regardless of the expression intensity. The characteristics of facial expressions are encoded in two parts in this paper. As the first part, spatial image characteristics of the representative expression-state frames are learned via a convolutional neural network. Five objective terms are proposed to improve the expression class separability of the spatial feature representation. In the second part, temporal characteristics of the spatial feature representation in the first part are learned with a long short-term memory of the facial expression. Comprehensive experiments have been conducted on a deliberate expression dataset (MMI) and a spontaneous micro-expression dataset (CASME II). Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved higher recognition rates in both datasets compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
