Abstract

The invention relates to a facial expression recognition method based on a regional self-attention convolutional neural network, which belongs to the technical field of pattern recognition and computer vision and comprises the following steps of: firstly, extracting deep global features of an input image by using a VGG16 network, and reserving global information of facial expressions while extracting the features; secondly, dynamically clustering the pixels through a designed regional local multi-valued mode and an improved K-means algorithm, ensuring the robustness of expression change regional features, expanding a binary mode to a plurality of modes, integrating gray difference information among the pixels in the region, and enhancing texture description; in addition, region weights are formed through a self-attention mechanism, and the weights of different regions are constrained by using rank regularization loss. And finally, combining the weighted features with the features extracted by the deep network to enhance the characterization capability of the features. The invention aims to establish a robust facial expression recognition network to accurately estimate the category of facial expressions in a real environment.
