摘要：Obtaining a valid facial expression recognition (FER) method is still a research hotspot in the artificial intelligence field. In this paper, we propose a multiparameter fusion feature space and decision voting-based classification for facial expression recognition. First, the parameter of the fusion feature space is determined according to the cross-validation recognition accuracy of the Multiscale Block Local Binary Pattern Uniform Histogram (MB-LBPUH) descriptor filtering over the training samples. According to the parameters, we build various fusion feature spaces by employing multiclass linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In these spaces, fusion features composed of MB-LBPUH and Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features are used to represent different facial expressions. Finally, to resolve the inconvenient classifiable pattern problem caused by similar expression classes, a nearest neighbor-based decision voting strategy is designed to predict the classification results. In experiments with the JAFFE, CK , and TFEID datasets, the proposed model clearly outperformed existing algorithms.
