Project 10 Facial Emotion Recognition Based On Mouth Analysis SSIP 08, Vienna 1
The Project Objective : To recognize emotional state / expression using mouth information Input: Mouth images (no make-up) Output: Emotional State/ Expression Happy, Neutral, Sad 2

The Tasks Create facial expressions photographic database Segment the mouth in the input image Use suitable features for expression characterization Design a reliable classifier to distinguish between different mouth expressions 4
SSIP Lips database Happy, Neutral and Sad Photos of SSIP students and lecturers Thank you all!!! Happy Neutral Sad 5
Mouth Segmentation 6 Input ImageHSV Space - Hue Thresholding Morphological Operations
Segmentation Results… And Segmentation Problems… 7
Lips Features Extraction Detect the leftmost and rightmost lip points Normalize images (rotation, translation and scaling) Calculate features Eccentricity Convex Area Minor Axis Ratio of Upper to Lower Lip 8
Expression Classification SVM Classifier Two Stage Classification Mouth Features ☺ 9
Results 1 Differences between different classes were found to be statistically significant (p<0.01) Classification Accuracy Stage 1 (Sad / Not Sad) 88% Stage 2 (Happy/ Neutral) 62% 10
Results
Future Work Acquire larger database for training and testing Test different facial expressions (such as anger and disgust) Other classifiers: NN, FIS Conclusion Mouth information is often insufficient for recognizing facial expression / emotional state Other face features such as eyes and eyebrows can contribute in emotional state recognition 12
