Abstract

Although several methods have been proposed for fusing different image representations obtained by different preprocessing methods for emotion recognition from the facial expression in a given image, the dependencies and relations among them have not been much investigated. In this study, it has been shown that covariates obtained by Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) that extracts relations between different representations have high predictive power for emotion recognition. As high prediction accuracy can be achieved using a small number of features extracted by it, CCA is considered to be a good dimensionality reduction method. For our simulations, we used the CK+ database and showed that covariates obtained from difference-images and geometric-features representations have high prediction accuracy. © 2012 IEEE. © 2012 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
