Hong Yang, Deli Zhu · The Open Electrical & Electronic Engineering Journal · 2014

To improve the efficiency of facial expression recognition, this paper puts forward a kind of recognition algorithm based on local binary pattern (LBP) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). First of all, process the empirical mode decomposition into the preprocessing facial image, and bring forward many a high frequency images instead of the original image; then, divide the sub domain of the high frequency image and obtain the sub domain LBP histogram and full face histogram; finally, identify the expression of the generated LBP histogram. Through the experiment on JAFFE database, it shows that the method is effective for facial expression recognition.
