TLDR
A novel face identification method that combines the eigenfaces theory with the Neural Nets, and a neural net classifier that performs the identification process is presented.
Abstract
This paper describes a novel face identification method that combines the eigenfaces theory with the Neural Nets. We use the eigenfaces methodology in order to reduce the dimensionality of the input image, and a neural net classifier that performs the identification process. The method presented recognizes faces in the presence of variations in facial expression, facial details and lighting conditions. A recognition rate of more than 87% has been achieved, while the classical method of Turk and Pentland achieves a 75.5%.

Facial Expression Recognition Using Neural Networks and Log-Gabor Filters

TL;DR: This study proposes a classification-based facial expression recognition method using a bank of multilayer perceptron neural networks, using logarithmic Gabor filters to extract features and testing on static images from the Cohn-Kanade database found that the average correct classification rate was increased from 52% for the full set of the log-Gabor features, to 70%" for the optimised sub-set of log- Gabor features.

Facial expression recognition from image sequences using optimized feature selection

TL;DR: A novel method for facial expression recognition from sequences of image frames is described and tested and can automatically recognize six expressions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise.

Facial expression recognition using log-Gabor filters and local binary pattern operators

TL;DR: Two different methods of feature extraction for person-independent facial expression recognition from images are investigated, with comparable performance between Log-Gabor filters and LBP operator, with a classification accuracy of around 82.3% and 81.7% respectively.

Face Recognition using Radial Basis Function Network based on LDA.

Byung-Joo Oh
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to improve the robustness of a face recognition system based on the combination of two compensating classifiers is described, where face images are preprocessed by the appearance-based statistical approaches such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).
