Abstract: Due to the short duration of micro-expressions and the small amplitude of motion, the automatic recognition of micro-expressions is still a challenging problem.Aiming at the problems, this paper proposes a Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network Evolution (C3DEvol) method for micro-expression recognition.In the C3DEvol, three-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (C3D) which can extract dynamic information effectively is used to extract micro-expression features in time domain and space domain.At the same time, the genetic algorithm with the capabilities of global search and optimization is used to optimize the network structure of C3D in order to obtain the optimal network structure and avoid local optimization.Experiments are performed on a workstation with two NVIDIA Titan X GPUs using the CASME2 dataset.Experiments show that the accuracy of C3DEvol micro-expression automatic recognition reaches 63.71%, which is better than the existing micro-expression automatic recognition method.

Key words: Feature extraction, Genetic algorithm, Micro-expression recognition, Network structure optimization, Three-dimensional convolutional neural network
