Expression-invariant face recognition by facial expression transformations

In this paper, we present a method of expression-invariant face recognition that transforms input face image with an arbitrary expression into its corresponding neutral facial expression image. When a new face image with an arbitrary expression is ...

This paper proposes a novel method for subtle facial expression recognition that uses motion magnification to transform subtle expressions into corresponding exaggerated ones. Motion magnification consists of four steps: First, active appearance model (...
Face Recognition Through Different Facial Expressions

Face recognition has become an accessible issue for experts as well as ordinary people as it is a focal non-interfering biometric modality. In this paper, we introduced a new approach to perform face recognition under varying facial expressions. The ...
