Abstract

Automated facial emotion recognition is an essential step for proper Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) since much of human-human interaction occurs outside of our speech and tone of voice. While other papers have tried singular approaches to this problem, we explore a combination of Gabor and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) to accurately recognise emotion from still images. This novel method has out-achieved many competing Gabor alone and HOG alone methods with future work aiming to explore larger databases and classifiers.
