EmotionalDAN

This repository contains code supporting publication Classifying and Visualizing Emotions with Emotional DAN (https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.10529)

We propose a new approach to solve emotion recognition task that relies on incorporating facial landmarks as a part of the classification loss function. To that end, we extend a recently proposed Deep Alignment Network (https://github.com/MarekKowalski/DeepAlignmentNetwork) with a term related to facial features. Thanks to this simple modification, our model called EmotionalDAN is able to outperform state-of-the-art emotion classification methods on two challenging benchmark dataset by up to 5%. Furthermore, we visualize image regions analyzed by the network when making a decision and the results indicate that our EmotionalDAN model is able to correctly identify facial landmarks responsible for expressing the emotions.

Requirements

To run the code you need:

  • Tensorflow 1.8 or newer
  • OpenCV 3.1.0 or newer

Some parts of the code use the following Tensorflow implementation of DAN: https://github.com/mariolew/Deep-Alignment-Network-tensorflow

Data preparation

To read the training data run the function from DataSetPre.py file:

ReadList('train.txt', 'Trainset', isTrainSet=True), where train.txt is in the following format: path_to_jpg_image class_label
