Abstract
One of the common ways of human showing emotion is through the change in facial expression. In this paper, we propose a new method for emotion detection by analyzing facial expression images. Facial expression information is analyzed by using a new feature construction method called Evolution-COnstructed (ECO) Features. The proposed algorithm is able to automatically recognize seven basic emotions that include Anger, Contempt, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness and Surprise. The test results on the Cohn- Kanade dataset show that the proposed algorithm has a very high classification accuracy.
