Abstract
Facial expression recognition with significant implications across fields such as psychology, computer science, and artificial intelligence. This paper proposes a combination of a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and a Residual Network (ResNet) to construct a recognition model. The main objective of the proposed model is to refine the multi-level feature representation of facial expressions. This approach aims to provide a more holistic understanding of the diverse and complex nature of facial expressions, recognizing the intricate interplay between macro and micro-expressions. Experimental results underscore the model's considerable superiority over traditional methods, particularly in terms of accuracy and adaptability to objects of varying sizes and complexities. This comprehensive approach to facial expression recognition showcases the potential of integrating different neural network architectures, furthering our understanding of the subtleties of facial expressions. The research, therefore, presents a significant contribution to the field of facial expression recognition, demonstrating the efficacy of integrating multi-scale feature extraction techniques to improve model performance. It sets the stage for future research directions in this domain, paving the way for more sophisticated emotion recognition systems that can be deployed in real-world applications.
