Abstract

Facial expression classification system is one of the implementations of machine learning (ML) that takes facial expression datasets, undergoes training, and then utilizes the trained results to recognize facial expressions in new facial images. The recognized facial expressions include anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happy, sadness, and surprise expressions. The method employed for facial feature extraction utilizes histogram-oriented gradient (HOG). This study proposes an enhancement method for HOG feature extraction by reducing the feature dimension into multiple sub-features based on gradient orientation intervals, referred to as HOG channel (HOG-C). Classifier testing techniques are divided into two methods for comparison—support vector machines (SVM) with HOG features and SVM with HOG-C features. The testing results demonstrate that SVM with HOG achieves an accuracy of 99.9% with an average training time of 18.03 minutes, while SVM with HOG-C attains a 100% accuracy with an average training time of 18.09 minutes. The testing outcomes reveal that the implementation of SVM with HOG-C successfully enhances accuracy for facial expression classification.
