Classifying Feelings Using Facial Expression Recognition
Keywords:
Facial Expression, Classification, CNN, Attention, Deep Learning, ResNet50.Abstract
This paper challenges the recent methodologies of identify the identical facial expressions in this study we use a dataset containing 48x48 pixel grayscale face images. The importance lies in classifying seven emotions (Angry, Disgust, Fear, Happy, Sad, Surprise, Neutral) because their applications in human-computer interaction. We implemented three deep learning models (Regular Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Attention-Aided CNN, and ResNet50), to evaluate their performance. The results show that the regular deep CNN achieved the highest accuracy at 79% for identifying the identical faces. These findings underscore the potential of networks depth in capturing most of facial expression patterns. This study contributes to the field by illustrating the effectiveness of different models in emotion recognition and provides insights for future research to improve classification accuracy and practical applications.
