The current study investigated if deficits in processing emotional expression affect facial identity processing and vice versa in children with autism spectrum disorder. Children with autism and IQ and age matched typically developing children classified faces either by emotional expression, thereby ignoring facial identity or by facial identity disregarding emotional expression. Typically deve...

Previous efforts at facial expression recognition have been based on the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a representation developed in order to allow human psychologists to code expression from static facial “mugshots.” In this paper we develop new, more accurate representations for facial expression by building a video database of facial expressions and then probabilistically characterizin...

We investigated the effect of facial expression arousal level and mode of presentation on facial mimicry. High- and low-arousal facial expressions indicating pleasant and unpleasant emotions were presented both statically and dynamically. Participants' facial electromyographic (EMG) reactions were recorded from the zygomatic major and corrugator supercilii muscles. Stronger zygomatic major musc...

This paper proposes a novel facial expression recognition method composed of two main steps: offline step and online step. The offline step selects the most salient facial patches using mutual information technique. The online step relies on the already selected patches to identify the facial expression using an SVM classifier. In both steps, the LBP operator was used to extract facial expressi...

A system for detecting and analyzing behavior of a sports person from their facial expression extracted from a sports video from the basis of this project. Shot Segmentation, Object Frame Selection, Image Segmentation, Facial Feature Extraction and Facial Expression Recognition (FER) are the major steps included in developing Cognitive Analysis of Facial Expression Recognition system from Sport...
