ABSTRACT

In recent years, a growing interest has been created for improvement of human interaction with computers. Hence, automatic recognition of facial expressions has become one of the active research topics. The purpose of this paper is to identify facial expressions, by using differential geometric features. In the proposed method, only the first and last images are used and differential features are extracted from these two images. Differential geometric features are extracted from changes in the important points of the face in the two images. In this method, the distance between the important points of the face and the reference point was calculated in both directions x and y, for two images, and with the difference between the distance, the differential geometric features between the two images were obtained. Based on the results, with this method, recognition accuracy of six facial expressions in the database was 96.44%, CK +.
