Dynamic Features Based on Flow-Correlation and HOG for Recognition of Discrete Facial Expressions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Facial expressions are the most preeminent means of conveying one’s emotions and play a significant role in interpersonal communication. Researchers are in pursuit of endowing machines with the ability to interpret emotions from facial expressions as that will make human-computer interaction more efficient. With the objective of effective affect cognition from visual information, we present two dynamic descriptors that can recognise seven principal emotions. The variables of the appearance-based descriptor, FlowCorr, indicate intra-class similarity and inter-class difference by quantifying the degree of correlation of optical flow associated with the image pair and each pre-designed template describing the motion pattern associated with different expressions. The second shape-based descriptor, dyn-HOG, finds the HOG values of the difference image derived by subtracting neutral face from emotional face, and is demonstrated to be more discriminative than previously used static HOG descriptors for classifying facial expressions. Recognition accuracies with multi-class support vector machine obtained on the CK+ and KDEF-dyn datasets are competent with the results of state-of-the-art techniques and empirical analysis of human cognition of emotions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
