AbstractFacial expression intensity, which quantifies the degree of facial expression, has been proposed. It is calculated based on how much facial feature values change compared to an expressionless face. The estimation has two aspects. One is to classify facial expressions, and the other is to estimate their intensity. However, it is difficult to do them at the same time. There- fore, in this work, the estimation of intensity and the classification of expression are separated. We suggest an explicit method and an implicit method. In the explicit one, a classifier determines which types of expression the inputs are, and each regressor determines its intensity. On the other hand, in the implicit one, we give zero values or non-zero values to regressors for each type of facial expression as ground truth, depending on whether or not an input image is the correct facial expression. We evaluated the two methods and, as a result, found that they are effective for facial expression recognition.
