© 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Micro-expressions are generated involuntarily on a person’s face and are usually a manifestation of repressed feelings of the person. Micro-expressions are characterised by short duration, involuntariness and low intensity. Because of these characteristics, micro-expressions are difficult to perceive and interpret correctly, and they are profoundly challenging to identify and categorise automatically. Previous work for micro-expression recognition has used hand-crafted features like LBP-TOP, Gabor filter, HOG and optical flow. Recent work also has demonstrated the possible use of deep learning for micro-expression recognition. This paper is the first work to explore the use of hand-craft feature descriptor and deep feature descriptor for micro-expression recognition task. The aim is to use the hand-craft and deep learning feature descriptor to extract features and integrate them together to construct a large feature vector to describe a video. Through experiments on CASME, CASME II and CASME+2 databases, we demonstrate our proposed method can achieve promising results for micro-expression recognition accuracy with larger training samples.
