title = "Enhancing 3D Facial Expression Recognition by, Exaggerating Geometry Characteristics",
abstract = "This paper studies exaggerated facial shapes in addition to original facial shapes to assist 3D Facial Expression Recognition (FER). We propose a Poisson equation based approach to exaggerate facial shape characteristics to highlight expression clues that are latent in original facial surfaces but useful for recognizing expressions. To validate this idea, we exploit two off-the-shelf descriptors that reach state of the art performance in 3D FER, namely Geometric Scattering Representation (GSR) and Multi-Scale Local Normal Patterns (MS-LNPs) for expression-related feature extraction, and adopt early fusion to combine the credits of the original surface and the enhanced one, followed by the SVMs and Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) classifiers. The accuracy gain of two features achieved on BU-3DFE is 0.8\% and 1.3\% respectively. Such results show that the exaggerated faces are complementary to the original faces in discriminating different facial expressions in the 3D domain.",
