QAFE-Net: Quality Assessment of Facial Expressions with Landmark Heatmaps [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Facial expression recognition (FER) methods have made great inroads in categorising moods and feelings in humans. Beyond FER, pain estimation methods assess levels of intensity in pain expressions, however assessing the quality of all facial expressions is of critical value in health-related applications.
