We consider the problem of automated recognition of temporal segments (neutral, onset, apex and offset) of Facial Action Units. To this end, we propose the Laplacian-regularized Kernel Conditional Ordinal Random Field model. In contrast to standard modeling approaches to recognition of AUs’ temporal segments, which treat each segment as an independent class, the proposed model takes into account
ordinal
relations between the segments. The experimental results evidence the effectiveness of such an approach.
