Abstract

Automated facial expression classification is very important in the design of new human-computer interaction modes and multimedia interactive services and arises as a difficult, yet crucial, pattern recognition problem. Recently, we have been building such a system, called NEU-FACES, which processes multiple camera images of computer user faces with the ultimate goal of determining their affective state. In here, we present results from an empirical study we conducted on how humans classify facial expressions, corresponding error rates, and to which degree a face image can provide emotion recognition from the perspective of a human observer. This study lays related system design requirements, quantifies statistical expression recognition performance of humans, and identifies quantitative facial features of high expression discrimination and classification power.
