Problem Statement:
The challenge of accurately recognizing and interpreting human facial emotions from
various angles and perspectives poses significant difficulties in the fields of medical research
and computer science. Traditional methods in facial emotion recognition (FER) rely on
feature extraction and feature selection using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
However, these methods often struggle with images that are not captured from a frontal view,
limiting their effectiveness in real-world applications. This limitation is particularly critical
for enhancing patient care and supporting children with speech impairments, where accurate
emotion detection can provide essential psychological insights.The proposed research aims to
develop an advanced facial emotion recognition model utilizing a Bi-Directional Long Short-
Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network. This model seeks to overcome the limitations of
conventional CNN-based approaches by accurately recognizing facial emotions from images
captured at various angles. The primary objective is to create a robust system that can identify
and interpret a wide range of emotional states, enhancing its application in medical and social
contexts.
Paper 1:
Title: Facial Emotion Detection Using Haar Cascade and CNN Algorithm
Authors: Nongmeikapam Thoiba Singh, Ritu, Samridh Rana, Sonal Kumari
Publisher: IEEE
Date of Publication: August 2023
Proposed Work: The paper presents a method combining the Haar Cascade and CNN for
facial emotion detection. The Haar Cascade is employed for facial feature detection (eyes,
nose, mouth), while the CNN classifies the features into one of seven emotions. The method
is tested on the CK+ dataset, achieving a high accuracy of 98.42%.
Paper 2:
Title: Facial Image PreProcessing and Emotion Classification: A Deep Learning Approach
Authors: Alramzana Nujum Navaz, Serhani Mohamed Adel, Sujith Samuel Mathew
Publisher: IEEE
Date of Publication: 2019
Proposed Work: This paper introduces a solution for improving emotion detection accuracy
by applying preprocessing techniques combined with deep learning models. Preprocessing
includes image quality enhancement and noise reduction, followed by emotion classification
using AlexNet and GoogLeNet models. The study achieves a significant accuracy
improvement with enhanced images.
Comparative Analysis:
Conclusion:
Both papers emphasize improvements in facial emotion detection using deep learning
techniques, but they focus on different aspects. Paper 1 highlights the combination of Haar
Cascade and CNN to detect facial features and classify emotions with a high level of
accuracy. Paper 2, on the other hand, focuses on enhancing the quality of input images before
classification, significantly improving accuracy with preprocessing techniques. The proposed
BiLSTM model in the current research seeks to further enhance these approaches by
improving emotion recognition from various angles and perspectives, offering potential
applications in medical research and human interaction systems.
