Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild is extremely challenging due to occlusions, variant head poses, face deformation and motion blur under unconstrained conditions. Although substantial progresses have been made in automatic FER…
Affective Behavior Analysis aims to facilitate technology emotionally smart, creating a world where devices can understand and react to our emotions as humans do. To comprehensively evaluate the authenticity and applicability of emotional…
Facial expressions vary from person to person, and the brightness, contrast, and resolution of every random image are different. This is why recognizing facial expressions is very difficult. This article proposes an efficient system for…
Affective computing has matured rapidly in laboratory settings, yet no prior dataset combines (i) months-to-years of duration, (ii) a naturalistic workplace context, (iii) a stable small-team social structure, and (iv) a fully passive…
Computing environment is moving towards human-centered designs instead of computer centered designs and human's tend to communicate wealth of information through affective states or expressions. Traditional Human Computer Interaction (HCI)…
Detection of human emotions based on facial images in real-world scenarios is a difficult task due to low image quality, variations in lighting, pose changes, background distractions, small inter-class variations, noisy crowd-sourced…
In this paper, we present the results of the HSE-NN team in the 4th competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW). The novel multi-task EfficientNet model is trained for simultaneous recognition of facial expressions and…
Being heavily reliant on animals, it is our ethical obligation to improve their well-being by understanding their needs. Several studies show that animal needs are often expressed through their faces. Though remarkable progress has been…
Predicting affective information from human faces became a popular task for most of the machine learning community in the past years. The development of immense and dense deep neural networks was backed by the availability of numerous…
Recognising expressive behaviours in face videos is a long-standing challenge in Affective Computing. Despite significant advancements in recent years, it still remains a challenge to build a robust and reliable system for naturalistic and…
This paper presents our method for the estimation of valence-arousal (VA) in the 8th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-Wild (ABAW) competition. Our approach integrates visual and audio information through a multimodal framework. The visual…
Emotion being a subjective thing, leveraging knowledge and science behind labeled data and extracting the components that constitute it, has been a challenging problem in the industry for many years. With the evolution of deep learning in…
Emotions play an essential role in human communication. Developing computer vision models for automatic recognition of emotion expression can aid in a variety of domains, including robotics, digital behavioral healthcare, and media…
Facial emotion recognition (FER) is significant for human-computer interaction such as clinical practice and behavioral description. Accurate and robust FER by computer models remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of human faces and…
Automatic facial behavior analysis has a long history of studies in the intersection of computer vision, physiology and psychology. However it is only recently, with the collection of large-scale datasets and powerful machine learning…
Dynamic facial expression recognition (FER) databases provide important data support for affective computing and applications. However, most FER databases are annotated with several basic mutually exclusive emotional categories and contain…
The study of affective computing in the wild setting is underpinned by databases. Existing multimodal emotion databases in the real-world conditions are few and small, with a limited number of subjects and expressed in a single language. To…
In this work, we describe our method for tackling the valence-arousal estimation challenge from ABAW FG-2020 Competition. The competition organizers provide an in-the-wild Aff-Wild2 dataset for participants to analyze affective behavior in…
In this paper, we describe the results of the HSEmotion team in two tasks of the seventh Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) competition, namely, multi-task learning for simultaneous prediction of facial expression, valence,…
Emotional expressions are the behaviors that communicate our emotional state or attitude to others. They are expressed through verbal and non-verbal communication. Complex human behavior can be understood by studying physical features from…
