A Robust Facial Expression Recognition Algorithm Based on Multi-Rate Feature Fusion Scheme

In recent years, the importance of catching humans’ emotions grows larger as the artificial intelligence (AI) field is being developed. Facial expression recognition (FER) is a part of understanding the emotion of humans through facial expressions. We proposed a robust multi-depth network that can e...
