Fuzzy triangulation signature for detection of change in human emotion from face video image sequence

Published: 01 September 2021 Publication History

Abstract

The present article proposes a geometry-based fuzzy relational technique for capturing gradual change in human emotion over time available from relevant face image sequences. As associated features, we make use of fuzzy membership arising out of five triangle signatures such as - (i) Fuzzy Isosceles Triangle Signature (FIS), (ii) Fuzzy Right Triangle Signature (FRS), (iii) Fuzzy Right Isosceles Triangle Signature (FIRS), (iv) Fuzzy Equilateral Triangle Signature (FES), and (v) Other Fuzzy Triangles Signature (OFS) to achieve the task of appropriate classification of facial transition from neutrality to one among the six expressions viz. anger (AN), disgust (DI), fear (FE), happiness (HA), sadness (SA) and surprise (SU). The effectiveness of the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifier is tested and validated through 10 fold cross-validation method on three benchmark image sequence datasets namely Extended Cohn-Kanade (CK+), M&M Initiative (MMI), and Multimedia Understanding Group (MUG). Experimental outcomes are found to have achieved accuracy to the tune of 98.47%, 93.56%, and 99.25% on CK+, MMI, and MUG respectively vindicating the effectiveness by exhibiting the superiority of our proposed technique in comparison to other state-of-the-art methods in this regard.
