在現今視訊監控的應用中，基於臉部特徵的情緒辨識為較具有挑戰性且相對重要議題。在本論文中提出了一種基於特徵擷取之混合式臉部情緒辨識系統，並且應用於分辨情緒類別，共可得到六類的情緒輸出。在前處理部分先使用隨機森林分類器來擷取臉部特徵點，在臉部特徵點提取方面，透過改進隨機森林的特徵的擷取與分割法則，使其能得到較為準確的樣本分群結果，並且能抵抗旋轉、光影變化等外在因素帶來的影響，並利用提取出的特徵點對臉部區域做校正。在特徵擷取方面，近年來伴隨科技的發展與深度學習技術方面的成熟，我們改變以往傳統影像處理的方式，並導入深度學習之技術利用臉部特徵點用於分析臉部動作模組、臉部動作單元分析臉部細微變化、深度學習網路提取高維度特徵資訊，並結合以上三種特徵彼此間的搭配組合，得到更好的分類結果。在實驗結果方面，本論文使用Cohn-Kanade資料庫與Oulu-CASIA資料庫分別進行測試並與前人技術比較，儘管影片中存在不受控制的因素，如照明和頭部姿勢，但從結果可看出相較於前人所提出的技術，本論文所提出的算法皆可獲得良好的準確率，且大幅度降低了參數使用量，也因此有相當大的潛力可被應用於現實生活中，並仍保有一定的準確性。

Facial expression recognition (FER) based on facial features is an important and challenging problem for automatic inspection of surveillance videos. In this thesis, a hybrid facial expression recognition system is proposed based on facial features, and a total of six facial expressions can be recognized. For the pre-processing, the Random Forest classifier is applied to track the facial landmark points, which is utilized for face alignment. In the feature extraction, with the advance of deep learning technology, we introduced the hybrid RNN technique by incorporating with deep learning to extract robust features. In addition, the geometrical features and the facial action unit based on the movement of the facial feature point are also considered. As the results, we evaluate the proposed method on the two database, CK+ and Oulu-CASIA, and compare with previous works. Though there are uncontrolled factors in the videos, such as lighting and head posture, the proposed method can achieve superior performance than former schemes. Thus, the proposed method has considerable potential to be applied in the practical applications.
