A novel method to achieve optimization in facial expression recognition using HMM

Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction is an emerging field of Computer Science where, Computer Vision, especially facial expression recognition occupies an essential role. There are so many approaches to resolve this problem, among them HMM is a considerable one. This paper aims to achieve optimization in both, the usage of number of states and the time complexity of HMM runtime. It also focusses to enable parallel processing which aims to process more than one image simultaneously.
