Abstract

Automated Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is an important part of computer-human interaction. For decades, researchers and scientists have been trying to create a model of artificial intelligence that could think, learn, make decisions and act in a way similar to a real person. Among other skills, such model needs to recognise human facial expression to understand non-verbal language. The present paper describes a method to fine tune the FER process in images, using deep learning CNN model Xception, with preprocessing the images. The method has shown improved results when applied to different datasets.
