Motivation

Why facial expression analysis?

2

13.11.2011 Tobias Gehrig and Hazım K. Ekenel: Facial Action Unit Detection Using Kernel Partial Least Squares Institute for Anthropomatics FIPA Group

Natural communication of emotions, feelings, opinions, intentions, and cognitive states Affective states communicated faster through faces than with words Presumably better performance in any face analysis task for systems understanding many different facial attributes

2% absolute 2AFC improvement over SVM when trained on CK+ 7.7% absolute improvement over non-linear SVM when trained on GEMEP-FERA and tested on CK+

Future Work Utilize parameter optimization for (K)PLS Select appropriate subset of training data to prevent overfitting Investigate relation of features and AUs within PLS AU intensity estimation and continuous emotion recognition using PLS Additional output labels (gender, age, ethnicity, . . . )(Guo&Mu 2011 [7])
