Group-Level Emotion Recognition Using Hybrid Deep Models Based on Faces, Scenes, Skeletons and Visual Attentions

Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid deep learning network submitted to the 6th Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW 2018) Grand Challenge [9], in the category of group-level emotion recognition. Advanced deep learning models trained individually on faces, scenes, skeletons and salient regions using visual attention mechanisms are fused to classify the emotion of a group of people in an image as positive, neutral or negative. Experimental results show that the proposed hybrid network achieves 78.98% and 68.08% classification accuracy on the validation and testing sets, respectively. These results outperform the baseline of 64% and 61%, and achieved the first place in the challenge.
