    Saiyed Umer1,*, Ranjeet Kumar Rout2, Shailendra Tiwari3, Ahmad Ali AlZubi4, Jazem Mutared Alanazi4, Kulakov Yurii5

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.135, No.2, pp. 1165-1185, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.023312

    Abstract A deep fusion model is proposed for facial expression-based human-computer Interaction system. Initially, image preprocessing, i.e., the extraction of the facial region from the input image is utilized. Thereafter, the extraction of more discriminative and distinctive deep learning features is achieved using extracted facial regions. To prevent overfitting, in-depth features of facial images are extracted and assigned to the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Various CNN models are then trained. Finally, the performance of each CNN model is fused to obtain the final decision for the seven basic classes of facial expressions, i.e., fear, disgust, anger, surprise, sadness, happiness,… More >

    Abstract Lonely older adults and persons restricted in movements are apt to cause negative emotions, which is harmful to their mental health. A humanoid robot with audiovisual interactions is presented, which can correspondingly output positive facial expressions to relieve human's negative facial expressions. The negative emotions are identified through an attention-enhanced facial expression recognition (FER) network. The network is firstly trained on MMEW macro-and micro-expression databases to discover expression-related features. Then, macro-expression recognition tasks are performed by fine-tuning the trained models on several benchmarking FER databases, including CK+ and Oulu-CASIA. A transformer network is introduced to process the sequential features engineered… More >

    Emotion Based Signal Enhancement Through Multisensory Integration Using Machine Learning

    Muhammad Adnan Khan1,2, Sagheer Abbas3, Ali Raza3, Faheem Khan4, T. Whangbo4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.3, pp. 5911-5931, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.023557

    Abstract Progress in understanding multisensory integration in human have suggested researchers that the integration may result into the enhancement or depression of incoming signals. It is evident based on different psychological and behavioral experiments that stimuli coming from different perceptual modalities at the same time or from the same place, the signal having more strength under the influence of emotions effects the response accordingly. Current research in multisensory integration has not studied the effect of emotions despite its significance and natural influence in multisensory enhancement or depression. Therefore, there is a need to integrate the emotional state of the agent with… More >
