Abstract: Facial expression recognition has achieved excellent results in static images,but when these methods are applied to vi-deos or image sequences,their accuracy and robustness are often affected.Traditional methods cannot usually recognize facial expressions based on spatial information and optical flow information.However,these auxiliary recognition information are all two-dimensional information,without considering that facial expression changes are a three-dimensional change process.In order to fully mine the deep semantic information of facial expression recognition,this paper proposes a fusion expression recognition method based on the combination of 3D facial dynamic information and optical flow information.This method constructs a multi stream convolutional neural network based on facial depth images,optical flow images,and RGB images,and integrates information from three modalities for facial expression recognition.The proposed method has been fully validated on CAER and RAVDESS datasets,and experimental results show that it outperforms current mainstream methods in facial expression recognition performance,which proves its effectiveness.

Key words: Facial expression recognition, Multi-stream convolutional neural network, 3D facial dynamic information, Optical flow information
