Description
Summary:Facial expression recognition (FER) is to separate the specific expression state from the given static image or video to determine the psychological emotions of the recognized object, the realization of the computer's understanding and recognition of facial expressions have fundamentally changed the relationship between human and computer,toachieve better human computer interaction (HCI). In recentyears, FER has attracted widespread attention in the fields of HCI, security, communications and driving, and has become one of the research hotspots. In the mobile Internet era, the need for lightweight networking and real-time performance is growing. In this paper, a lightweight A-MobileNet model is proposed. First, the attention module is introduced into the MobileNetV1 model to enhance the local feature extraction of facial expressions. Then, the center loss and softmax loss are combined to optimize the model parameters to reduce intra-class distance and increase inter-class distance. Compared with the original MobileNet series models, ourmethod significantly improvesrecognition accuracy without increasing the number of model parameters. Compared with others, A- MobileNet model achieves better results on the FERPlus and RAF-DB datasets.
