Micro-expressions are nonverbal facial expressions that reveal the covert emotions of individuals, making the micro-expression recognition task receive widespread attention. However, the micro-expression recognition task is challenging due…
This paper discusses the benefits of incorporating multimodal data for improving latent emotion recognition accuracy, focusing on micro-expression (ME) and physiological signals (PS). The proposed approach presents a novel multimodal…
To understand how people look, interact, or perform tasks, we need to quickly and accurately capture their 3D body, face, and hands together from an RGB image. Most existing methods focus only on parts of the body. A few recent approaches…
Micro-expression can reflect people's real emotions. Recognizing micro-expressions is difficult because they are small motions and have a short duration. As the research is deepening into micro-expression recognition, many effective…
Facial expression recognition plays an important role in human behaviour, communication, and interaction. Recent neural networks have demonstrated to perform well at its automatic recognition, with different explainability techniques…
Modern instance-based model-agnostic explanation methods (LIME, SHAP, L2X) are of great use in data-heavy industries for model diagnostics, and for end-user explanations. These methods generally return either a weighting or subset of input…
Frame-level micro- and macro-expression spotting methods require time-consuming frame-by-frame observation during annotation. Meanwhile, video-level spotting lacks sufficient information about the location and number of expressions during…
Model selection, via penalized likelihood type criteria, is a standard task in many statistical inference and machine learning problems. Progress has led to deriving criteria with asymptotic consistency results and an increasing emphasis on…
Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are extensively used to analyze local texture features of an image. Several new extensions to LBP-based texture descriptors have been proposed, focusing on improving noise robustness by using different coding or…
Micro-expressions are spontaneous, unconscious facial movements that show people's true inner emotions and have great potential in related fields of psychological testing. Since the face is a 3D deformation object, the occurrence of an…
We propose a sparse and privacy-enhanced representation for Human Pose Estimation (HPE). Given a perspective camera, we use a proprietary motion vector sensor(MVS) to extract an edge image and a two-directional motion vector image at each…
Micro-expressions (MEs) are brief, involuntary facial movements that reveal genuine emotions, offering valuable insights for psychological assessment and criminal investigations. Despite significant progress in automatic ME recognition…
We propose a novel video frame interpolation algorithm based on asymmetric bilateral motion estimation (ABME), which synthesizes an intermediate frame between two input frames. First, we predict symmetric bilateral motion fields to…
Inspired by biological vision systems, the over-complete local features with huge cardinality are increasingly used for face recognition during the last decades. Accordingly, feature selection has become more and more important and plays a…
Micro-expression recognition (MER) is valuable because micro-expressions (MEs) can reveal genuine emotions. Most works take image sequences as input and cannot effectively explore ME information because subtle ME-related motions are easily…
Recently, mid-level features have shown promising performance in computer vision. Mid-level features learned by incorporating class-level information are potentially more discriminative than traditional low-level local features. In this…
We present a new mixed-integer programming (MIP) approach for offline multiple change-point detection by casting the problem as a globally optimal piecewise linear (PWL) fitting problem. Our main contribution is a family of strengthened MIP…
Micro-expression recognition is vital for affective computing but remains challenging due to the extremely brief, low-intensity facial motions involved and the high-dimensional nature of 4D mesh data. To address these challenges, we…
When the predicted sequence length exceeds the length seen during training, the transformer's inference accuracy diminishes. Existing relative position encoding methods, such as those based on the ALiBi technique, address the length…
