The invention discloses a face expression recognition method based on sparse representation based on double dictionaries and multi-feature fusion decision-making. First, features are extracted from face image samples without expression and face images with specific expressions, and a nominal dictionary and a feature dictionary are constructed according to the features. ; For the image to be recognized, by extracting the corresponding features, use the nominal dictionary to perform sparse coding on it, and then combine the coding coefficient results with the nominal dictionary to obtain the reconstructed expressionless image features, and subtract the features before and after reconstruction The features containing only the information of expression characteristics are obtained, and the feature dictionary is used to sparsely encode the features to obtain the coding coefficient vector; based on the feature dictionary, an auxiliary decision-making fusion dictionary is trained for different types of features, and based on the sparse representation, the different types of features are calculated. The encoded coefficient vectors are classified and judged, and the judgment results of various features are obtained; the final recognition results are obtained by voting; this method can effectively overcome the influence of face, illumination, occlusion and other changes on expression recognition.
