Abstract

Recently, facial-expression recognition (FER) has primarily focused on images in the wild, including factors such as face occlusion and image blurring, rather than laboratory images. Complex field environments have introduced new challenges to FER. To address these challenges, this study proposes a cross-fusion dual-attention network. The network comprises three parts: (1) a cross-fusion grouped dual-attention mechanism to refine local features and obtain global information; (2) a proposed C² activation function construction method, which is a piecewise cubic polynomial with three degrees of freedom, requiring less computation with improved flexibility and recognition abilities, which can better address slow running speeds and neuron inactivation problems; and (3) a closed-loop operation between the self-attention distillation process and residual connections to suppress redundant information and improve the generalization ability of the model. The recognition accuracies on the RAF-DB, FERPlus, and AffectNet datasets were 92.78%, 92.02%, and 63.58%, respectively. Experiments show that this model can provide more effective solutions for FER tasks. Abstract Image

CF-DAN：基于交叉融合双注意网络的面部表情识别

摘要最近，面部表情识别（FER）主要侧重于野外图像，包括人脸遮挡和图像模糊等因素，而不是实验室图像。复杂的野外环境给 FER 带来了新的挑战。为了应对这些挑战，本研究提出了一种交叉融合双注意网络。该网络由三部分组成：(1) 交叉融合分组双注意机制，用于提炼局部特征并获取全局信息；(2) 提出的 C2 激活函数构造方法，即具有三个自由度的片断三次多项式，需要的计算量更少，灵活性和识别能力更强，能较好地解决运行速度慢和神经元失活的问题；(3) 自注意提炼过程与残余连接之间的闭环操作，用于抑制冗余信息，提高模型的泛化能力。在 RAF-DB、FERPlus 和 AffectNet 数据集上的识别准确率分别为 92.78%、92.02% 和 63.58%。实验表明，该模型能为 FER 任务提供更有效的解决方案。
