Abstract

This research is about the performance of automated facial expression recognition. One of the goals was to examine whether an open source system can compete with a state of the art (and expensive) system. In order to do this a combination of open source systems DRMF2013 and WEKA was compared to FaceReader, by running them on several images of different data sets. The used pictures were divided in two categories; the first with frontal images only and the second with images where persons had their heads in positions between 45 degrees to the left and the same degrees to the other side. The results show that the developed open source system can compete with FaceReader, as it beats FaceReader when it comes to the group of frontal images and the images with a greater angel. However, when it comes to frontal images only, FaceReader beats the open source system. These findings are significant, as money could be saved in research projects that for example involve automated facial expression recognition.
