Modified Convolutional Neural Networksfor Facial Emotion Classification

Abstract

Facial expression analysis is a fascinating yet challenging problem in the realm of artificial intelligence. The vast variability in human expressions poses a significant hurdle for machine learning methods to detect them accurately. Recently, machine learning and deep learning approaches have made notable strides in this area, leveraging Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to identify human emotions. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in particular, have proven effective in resolving the complexities involved in human facial expressions, making them a preferred choice for these tasks. In this study, we proposed a modified CNN architecture by introducing a new layer to enhance accuracy. The CNN network is trained on both frontal face images and images with varying poses. We utilized three distinct datasets FER 2013, CK+ and our own dataset to achieve the desired results. The evaluation results obtained using the proposed network surpass those achieved by conventional CNN networks. Notably, our proposed network achieves an average accuracy of 97.5% on our collected dataset.
