To address the problem of the low accuracy rate of the multi-target facial expression classification and recognition algorithm in real environments, in this paper we propose a facial expression detection algorithm based on an improved faster region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN). The proposed algorithm uses a two-stage detection network to accomplish multi-target recognition and location in facial expression recognition. Instead of the original feature extraction module, densely connected convolutional networks are used, which can fuse multi-level feature information, increase network depth, and prevent network gradient disappearance. Soft non-maximum suppression (NMS) is used to improve the candidate-box merging strategy, and the attenuation function is designed to replace the traditional NMS greedy algorithm, thereby preventing the missed detection of adjacent or overlapping targets and improving the detection accuracy of the network under multi-target conditions. Through the construction of an expression data set in a real environment and an experiment based on the improved Faster RCNN, the facial expression of the target was detected in different scenes with a detection accuracy rate 5% higher than that of the original detection model. Therefore, good accuracy is achieved by the proposed algorithm.
