Title
Hierarchical support vector machine for facial micro-expression recognition.
Abstract
The sample category distribution of spontaneous facial micro-expression datasets is unbalanced, due to the experimental environment, collection equipment, and individualization of subjects, which brings great challenges to micro-expression recognition. Therefore, this paper introduces a micro-expression recognition model based on the Hierarchical Support Vector Machine (H-SVM) to reduce the interference of sample category distribution imbalance. First, we calculated the position of the apex frame in the micro-expression image sequence. To keep micro-expression frames balanced, we sparsely sample the images sequence according to the apex frame. Then, the Low-level Descriptors of the region of interest of the micro-expression image sequence and the High-level Descriptors of apex frame are extracted. Finally, the H-SVM model is used to classify the fusion features of different levels. The experimental results on SMIC, CAMSE2, SAMM, and their composite datasets show that our method can achieve superior performance in micro-expression recognition.
