Improving WLD for Facial Expressions recognition using Gabor filter


Abstract in English

The aim of the work is to improve the performance of the WLD descriptor using Gabor filters in a preprocessing stage. The performance of the improved descriptor will be compared with the performance of the LBP descriptor(a widely used descriptor in FER researches). This performance will be achieved using the extremely used expert system SVM besides the expert systems CSD and MLP.
