Multi-gradient features and elongated quinary pattern encoding for image-based facial expression recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel texture extraction method for facial expression recognition is proposed.

• High performance is attained with both posed and spontaneous facial expression.

• Multi-gradient features for magnitude and angle components are derived.

• Multi Classifier System based on the multi-class SVM is adopted.

• Comparison with the state-of-the-art showed the superiority of the method.
