The invention discloses an effective micro-expression automatic identification method which comprises the steps of micro-expression
frame sequence preprocessing, micro-expression
information data study and micro-expression identification. The method for micro-expression
frame sequence preprocessing comprises the steps that frames of obtained micro-expression sequences are detected, data of an image of each frame are extracted so that graying
processing can be conducted on the data, and all the micro-expression sequences are interpolated into the frame of the unified number through the linear interpolation method. The method for micro-expression
information data study comprises the steps that the micro-expression sequences obtained in the preprocessing stage are written in a
tensor mode, then, the intra-class distance of the same class of micro-expressions is minimized in a
tensor space through the discriminating
analysis method of
tensor expression and the between-class distance of different classes of micro-expressions is maximized, so that
data dimension reduction is achieved, and characteristic data are ranked in a vectorized mode according to a class discriminating capacity descending order. A
nearest neighbor classifier is used for micro-expression identification. Compared with the methods of MPCA, GTDA, DTSA and the like, the effective micro-expression automatic identification method has the advantages of being high in rate of identification, low in
computer performance requirement and easy to achieve.
