Abstract: This paper is concerned with video-based facial expression recognition frequently used in conjunction with HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) that can naturally interact between human and robot. For this purpose, we design a 3D-CNN(3D Convolutional Neural Networks) by augmenting dimensionality reduction methods such as PCA(Principal Component Analysis) and TMPCA(Tensor-based Multilinear Principal Component Analysis) to recognize simultaneously the successive frames with facial expression images obtained through video camera. The 3D-CNN can achieve some degree of shift and deformation invariance using local receptive fields and spatial subsampling through dimensionality reduction of redundant CNN’s output. The experimental results on video-based facial expression database reveal that the presented method shows a good performance in comparison to the conventional methods such as PCA and TMPCA.
