Exploring Deep Learning Techniques for Accurate 3D Facial Expression Recognition

The potential of facial expression recognition (FER) in a variety of domains, including psychology, human-computer interaction, and security systems, has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. However, the majority of FER systems now in use can only identify facial expressions in 2D photos or movies, which can reduce their robustness and accuracy. In this paper, we propose a 3D FER system that enhances the accuracy of facial expression recognition through deep learning techniques. Though FER is becoming more and more popular, there are still several issues with the present systems, like poor handling of various stances, occlusions, and illumination fluctuations. Furthermore, more study needs to be done on 3D FER, which can yield more thorough and precise results. Long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) are used to map the temporal correlations between facial expressions. In contrast, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are utilized to extract significant features from 3D face data in order to overcome these issues. We propose to record the dependencies. We provide an ensemble model that combines CNN's and its LSTM networks' advantages. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed 3D FER system achieves over 80% accuracy on published datasets, outperforming current state-of-te-art 2D FER systems. This reveals that as compared to individual CNN and LSTM models, the suggested ensemble model likewise greatly increases detection accuracy. In conclusion, this study shows the promise of 3D FER systems and suggests a deep learning-based method to enhance the precision and resilience of facial expression detection. The suggested technique can be applied to a number of tasks where precise facial expression identification is necessary, including virtual reality, avatar animation, and emotion detection.
