This paper presents the comparison between the methodologies used for human emotion recognition from face images based on textural analysis and KNN classifier. Automatic facial expression recognition (FER) plays an important role in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) systems for measuring people’s emotions has dominated psychology by linking expressions to a group of basic emotions (i.e., anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise).The comparative study of Facial Expression Recognition involves Curvelet transform based Robust Local Binary Pattern (RLBP) and Distinct LBP (DLBP) features and features derived from DLBP and GLCM. The objective of this research is to show that features derived from RLBP with DLBP is superior to the features derived from DLBP and GLCM. To test and evaluate their performance, experiments are performed using Japanese Female Expressions Model (JAFEE) database in both techniques. The comparison chart shows that, the DLBP and RLBP based feature extraction with KNN classifier gives much better accuracy than other existing method.

Curvelet Transform, Distinct LBP, RLBP, GLCM, KNN Classifier, JAFEE Database

In this paper, we compare the proposed method with the existing method. A proposed technique for facial expression recognition is the combination of curvelet transform, DLBP and RLBP. The features are extracted from still images. Thus the proposed integrated method represents complete information of the facial image. The proposed DLBP & RLBP of FCI is a three phase model for recognizing facial expressions. In the first Phase it, reduced the 5x 5 image in to a 3x 3 sub image without losing any significant information. In the second and third phases Curvelet transform, Distinct LBP. Then apply RLBP at last we had used KNN classifier to find the expression of input image. The proposed method overcomes the unpredictable distribution of the face images in real environment caused by statistical methods and illumination problems caused by LBP. The existing method extracts the features derived from distinct LBP and GLCM. The comparison chart shows that, the DLBP and RLBP based feature extraction with knn classifier gives much better accuracy with lesser algorithmic complexity than other facial expression recognition approaches.
