Abstract: The imperative research part of the emotion recognition is the analysis of emotional state in the facial expression. The subject matter of this study is to aid the human – computer interaction more empathetic with the help of automatic emotion recognition system which will be a great step forward in the robotic field. This study proposes a novel method for the emotion detection where usage of Face detection using Haar feature-based cascade classifiers, saliency mapping and CNN architecture are implemented. The facial expression of the humans from the data set is fed into the Saliency using hyper-complex Fourier Transform (SHFT). The resulting saliency map has the extracted feature which is given as input to the CNN to perform feature modeling and output the emotional state of the human. We also exhibit that the proposed saliency model can emphasize on both minor and major salient regions more accurately than the other saliency models.
