The invention relates to a
facial expression recognition method based on space channel
convolution and enhanced compression incentive attention, which comprises the following steps: S1, expanding a
receptive field by using the space channel
convolution, and capturing
global information of an image; s2, performing
feature fusion on feature information of different scales and different levels; and S3, adaptively adjusting a
feature mapping weight by using a global attention compression excitation module, and enhancing the attention of the model on important features. According to the invention, the space channel
convolution can enhance the
perception capability of multi-scale and cross-level features; the
feature fusion module integrates feature information of different scales and hierarchies in a channel dimension, and realizes
optimal combination of the feature information through an adaptive weight acquisition mechanism; the global attention compression excitation module can relieve the
information loss problem and improve the recognition accuracy. According to the method, the accuracy of
facial expression recognition is remarkably improved, meanwhile, the calculation cost and the network scale are far smaller than those of the prior art of the same type, and higher accuracy and robustness are achieved.
