3D-CNN for Facial Micro- and Macro-expression Spotting on Long Video Sequences using Temporal Oriented Reference Frame
Facial expression spotting is the preliminary step for micro- and macro-expression analysis. The task of reliably spotting such expressions in video sequences is currently unsolved. The current best systems depend upon optical flow methods to extract regional motion features, before categorisation of that motion into a specific class of facial movement. Optical flow is susceptible to drift error, which introduces a serious problem for motions with long-term dependencies, such as high frame-rate macro-expression. We propose a purely deep learning solution which, rather than tracking frame differential motion, compares via a convolutional model, each frame with two temporally local reference frames. Reference frames are sampled according to calculated micro- and macro-expression duration. As baseline for MEGC2021 using leave-one-subject-out evaluation method, we show that our solution achieves F1-score of 0.105 in a high frame-rate (200 fps) SAMM long videos dataset (SAMM-LV) and is competitive in a low frame-rate (30 fps) (CAS(ME)2) dataset. On unseen MEGC2022 challenge dataset, the baseline results are 0.1176 on SAMM Challenge dataset, 0.1739 on CAS(ME)3 and overall performance of 0.1531 on both dataset.
