Recognizing Facial Expressions Using Eigenspaces

In this paper we attempt to recognize the facial expressions using well known Eigenspaces approach for face recognition. In our approach we identify the user´s facial expressions from the input images using a method that is modified from eigenface recognition. The simplicity in matching the input images with the database images for various facial expressions allows the system to be suitable for near real time applications. We have implemented this scheme and experimental results show the effectiveness of our scheme.
