Abstract

A facial expression is a visual impression of a person's situations, emotions, cognitive activity, personality, intention and psychopathology, it has an active and vital role in the exchange of information and communication between people. In machines and robots which dedicated to communication with humans, the facial expressions recognition play an important and vital role in communication and reading of what is the person implies, especially in the field of health. For that the research in this field leads to development in communication with the robot. This topic has been discussed extensively, and with the progress of deep learning and use Convolution Neural Network CNN in image processing which widely proved efficiency, led to use CNN in the recognition of facial expressions. Automatic system for Facial Expression Recognition FER require to perform detection and location of faces in a cluttered scene, feature extraction, and classification. In this research, the CNN used for perform the process of FER. The target is to label each image of facial into one of the seven facial emotion categories considered in the JAFFE database. JAFFE facial expression database with seven facial expression labels as sad, happy, fear, surprise, anger, disgust, and natural are used in this research. We trained CNN with different depths using gray-scale images from the JAFFE database.The accuracy of proposed system was 100%.
