Towards macro- and micro-expression spotting in video using strain patterns
Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for automatic spotting (temporal segmentation) of facial expressions in long videos comprising of continuous and changing expressions. The method utilizes the strain impacted on the facial skin due to the non-rigid motion caused during expressions. The strain magnitude is calculated using the central difference method over the robust and dense optical flow field of each subjects face. Testing has been done on 2 datasets (which includes 100 macro-expressions) and promising results have been obtained. The method is robust to several common drawbacks found in automatic facial expression segmentation including moderate in-plane and out-of-plane motion. Additionally, the method has also been modified to work with videos containing micro-expressions. Micro-expressions are detected utilizing their smaller spatial and temporal extent. A subject's face is divided in to sub-regions (mouth, cheeks, forehead, and eyes) and facial strain is calculated for each of these regions. Strain patterns in individual regions are used to identify subtle changes which facilitate the detection of micro-expressions.

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.
