Recognition of facial expressions - Knowledge Based Systems ...

Once executed, the tool recurrently searched for files having the extension “KH” in a
specified directory given as call parameter for the console application. For each file
found, the application loads the content into the memory by storing the coordinates of the
FCPs.
For each sample, it further applies a set of computations in order to determine the value
of the parameters (Table 7), given the adopted processing model (Figure 17).
For the conducted experiment, no dynamic parameters were involved, since there were no
data concerning the temporal variability available. However, the initial design included a
general functional model that consisted also in a set of dynamic characteristics. For the
results presented in the project report, there were also no values encoding the behavior of
the parameters related to the forehead, chin and nasolabial areas. Instead, an additional
set of experiments was run for analyzing the influence of those parameters.
Table 7. The set of parameters and the corresponding facial features
The values of the parameters were initially considered real numbers. After the
discretization process was finished, all the parameter values consisted in integer values.
