Description:
This research project is part of the internship I am currently doing at CRNS – University of Plymouth, UK.
I am conducting a research in the field of computer vision using machine learning techniques. In detail, deep learning methodologies are used and applied for the automated emotion recognition of human faces by means of Automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER). Due to the nature of the research, Convolutional Neural Networks, a special type of Artificial Neural Network, are applied due to their adaptableness in studying image-based inputs.
In the fist part of my internship I worked on a lab-controlled dataset (CK+). Since some weeks, I am dealing with group emotion classification with the Group Affect Database – in the wild. This means that the pictures contain occluded, not-frontal faces, and so on.
