Expression detector system based on facial images

Abstract

This paper proposes a emotion detector, applied for facial images, based on the analysis of facial segmentation. The parameterizations have been developed on spatial and transform domains, and the classification has been done by Support Vector Machines. A public database has been used in experiments, The Radboud Faces Database (RAFD), with eight possible emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise, neutral and contempt. Our best approach has been reached with decision fusion, using transform domains, reaching an accurate up to 96.62%.
