Abstract

Emotion recognition still remains a research issue that can be improved significantly. This paper worked on it using facial feature extraction followed by arousal level estimation. We extracted facial features via four Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) pre-trained on ImageNet: ResNet152V2, Xception, ResNeXt101, and InceptionResNetV2 based on low memory usage and modernity. For estimating arousal levels, Exponential Linear Unit (ELU) was compared with Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) in a custom deep model framework. Wild facial expression image data was taken from the relatively new AffectNet database. Up to this point, recognition of emotions from AffectNet is largely treated as a classification problem, with arousal level estimation mostly unexplored. Our results showed that the custom deep model trained on multiple classes and fine-tuned on one class was more effective than that trained and tested on the same class. ResNet152V2 displayed the best performance among the CNNs, emphasizing its suitability for the CultureNet-based architecture from which this algorithm is based. Further research includes more activation functions, ResNet variants, and the application of a softmax layer.
