A MONOGENIC LOCAL GABOR BINARY PATTERN FOR FACIAL EXPRESSION RECOGNITION

The paper implements a monogenic-Local Binary Pattern (mono-LBP) algorithm on a local Gabor Pattern (LGP). The proposed algorithm is applied at different scales of the Gabor kernel with different normalization schemes. Results from the two best performing normalization algorithms with mono-LBP are fused at score level to obtain an improved performance. Moreover, performance comparison is done with other variants of LGP algorithm and also the effects of various normalization techniques are investigated. Experimental results on JAFFE facial expression database show that the new technique has the best average performance compared to its counterparts using distance metrics as a classifier.
