A multi-pose facial expression recognition method based on semi-supervised learning

Abstract

The invention relates to a semi-supervised learning-based multi-gesture facial expression recognition algorithm which comprises the steps of acquiring n front expression images and n side expression images of n persons to form a training set X and a testing set S, segmenting face regions of the front expression images and the side expression images, and carrying out illumination compensation on the face regions by using a histogram equalization method; then extracting expression characteristics of the images by adopting a linear discriminant analysis method, carrying out expression recognition on samples in the testing set S; marking each unmarked sample in the training set X by using marked samples in the training set X by adopting an Euclidean distance nearest neighbour method; re-sampling the training set X by adopting a round-robin mode to obtain a new training set Xr; scheduling a basic classifying device to calculate a mark ht of each sample in the training set X at the tth circle by using the new training set Xr, and calculating a mark ft of each sample in the testing set S at the tth circle by using the new training set Xr; and finally, calculating a classifying error rate epsilon t of the basic classifying device to side samples in the training set, and updating weights of all training samples in the training set X until reaching the circle ending condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a human facial expression recognition method under the multi-pose condition based on semi-supervised learning. Background technique [0002] Facial expression recognition is an important part of human-computer interaction and affective computing research. In expression recognition, the number of labeled images is very important. Because the reliability of the expected error of the expression model depends on the size of the image sample set, a large sample can better reflect the real distribution of the sample, so as to obtain a good generalization error. However, the labeling process of emoticon images is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to labeling errors. To solve this problem, the semi-supervised learning (Semi-Supervised Learning) algorithm uses a large number of unlabeled samples with the same feature distribution as auxiliary samples to participate in training, which can not only avoid the tr...
