Abstract

Face is the most dynamic part of the human body which comprises information about the feelings of people with facial expressions. In this paper, we propose a novel feature selection procedure applied to 3-Dimensional (3D) geometrical facial feature points selected from MPEG-4 Facial Definition Parameters (FDPs) in order to achieve robust classification performance. Distances between 3D feature point pairs are used to describe a facial expression. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is employed as the classifier. The system is tested on 3D facial expression database BU-3DFE and shows significant improvements with the proposed feature selection algorithm.
