In this paper, we present results on experiments employing
Active Appearance Model (AAM) derived facial representations,
for the task of facial action recognition. Experimental
results demonstrate the benefit of AAM-derived
representations on a spontaneous AU database containing
“real-world” variation. Additionally, we explore a number
of normalization methods for these representations which
increase facial action recognition performance.
