    Abstract

    Facial expression recognition is becoming a hot topic due to its wide applications in computer vision research fields. Traditional methods adopt hand-crafted features combined with classifiers to achieve the recognition goal. However, the accuracy of these methods often relies heavily on the extracted features and the classifier’s parameters, and thus cannot get good result with unseen data. Recently, deep learning, which simulates the mechanism of human brain to interpret data, has shown remarkable results in visual object recognition. In this paper, we present a novel convolutional neural network which consists of local binary patterns and improved Inception-ResNet layers for automatic facial expression recognition. We apply the proposed method to three expression datasets, i.e., the Extended Cohn-kanade Dataset (CK+), the Japanese Female Expression Database (JAFFE), and the FER2013 Dataset. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed network.
