OAENet: Oriented attention ensemble for accurate facial expression recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a Oriented Attention Enable Network (OAENet) architecture for FER, which aggreates ROI aware and attention mechanism, ensuring the sufficient utilization of both global and local features.

• We propose a weighed mask that combines the facial landmarks and correlation coefficients coefficients, which prove to be effective to improve the attention on local regions.

• Our method has achieved state-of-the-art performances on several leading datasets such as Ck+, RAF-DB and AffectNet.
