Abstract
Automatic facial expression recognition is an active research area that has attracted much attention from both academics and practitioners of different fields. However, in reality, the problem of noise interference and cross-dataset expression recognition generally degrade the performance of recognition methods, we investigate the problems above, and propose a facial expression recognition approach from the perspective of deep subspace filter learning combined with discriminative classification criterion. Specifically, to derive an effective expression-related feature representation, we construct the filtered dictionaries based on deep subspace filter learning structure that corresponds to extract different expressions. Also, considering the similarities and discriminations existed in the filtered dictionaries, we further present a flexible classification criterion that adopt a dynamic weight to increase the adaptation between filtered dictionaries. To sum up, the proposed approach has more discriminative power from the aspect of representation and classification. Comprehensive experiments carried out using several public datasets, including JAFFE, CK+, and KDEF datasets, confirm that the proposed approach is superior compared to several state-of-the-art methods.
