category Regional,, tags Regional,, DW BUREAU Punjabi University has developed an effective technique to identify real expressions from facial images. This has been made possible through a recent research by researcher Naveen Kumari under the supervision of Prof. Rekha Bhatia at the Department of Computer Science. Prof. Rekha Bhatia while talking about it, said that communicating through facial emotions is a kind of non-verbal communication and it reflects a person s inner thoughts, human behaviour, and mental states. Facial expression plays a big role in judging the emotions of an individual human being. She said that this technology is very useful in applications related to many fields like healthcare, teaching, criminal investigation, human robot interface etc. She said that every application already available in this matter has its own challenges. The main goal of the technology brought out through this research was to overcome these challenges in terms of identifying human emotions such as happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger, disgust etc. She said that the purpose of this technique is to increase the accuracy of expression recognition by being useful in the case of low-resolution i.e. poor quality facial images. She said that the various facial expression recognition technology models currently in this field perform poorly in the case of images that have low visual quality. To deal with these problems, through this research a CNN based approach is used. (editor dailyworld.in)
