Investigating the use of SIFT for facial expression recognition

Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) proposed by David Lowe has been widely and successfully applied to object recognition. However, in recent decades researchers have paid more attention to face study, such as face recognition and facial expression recognition. This paper illustrates an investi...
