Recognition of facial expressions authenticity is quite troublesome for humans. Therefore, it is an interesting topic for the computer vision community, as the developed algorithms for facial expressions authenticity estimation may be used as indicators of deception. This paper discusses the state-of-the art methods developed for smile veracity estimation and proposes a plan of development and validation of a novel approach to automated discrimination between genuine and posed facial expressions. The proposed fully automated technique is based on the extension of the high-dimensional Local Binary Patterns (LBP) to the spatio-temporal domain and combines them with the dynamics of facial landmarks movements. The proposed technique will be validated on several existing smile databases and a novel database created with the use of a high speed camera. Finally, the developed framework will be applied for the detection of deception in real life scenarios.
