A Comparative Study between CS-LBP/SVM and CS-LBP/PCA in Facial Expression Recognition

Face plays significant role in social communication. This is a 'window' to human personality, emotions and thoughts. Due to this, face is a subject of study in many areas of science such as psychology, behavioral science, medicine and computer science etc. In this paper, a comparative study is suggested between CS-LBP/SVM and CS-LBP/PCA. These algorithms are used in emotive facial expression recognition. Finally, a comparison is shown between PCA & SVM in terms of Dimension Reduction. The proposed system uses grayscale frontal face images of a Japanese female to classify six basic emotions namely happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise and anger.
