Abstract

An automatic facial expression classification method, based on multiscale Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features extracted from sub-facial image patches, is proposed in this paper. A number of multiclass Support Vector Machines (SVM) are designed using the multiscale HOG features for classifying six basic facial expressions for frontal face images. The proposed method, with a simple design and few training data, achieves descent classification accuracy at a very low computational complexity.Keywords: multi-scale HOG, Support Vector Machine, Sub-facial patch, histogram.Cite this Article: Sagar Deep Deb, Manish Sharma, Chandrajit Choudhury, Fazal Ahmed Talukdar, Rabul Hussain Laskar.
