• Abstract: Facial expression recognition (FER) is a challenging topic in artificial intelligence. Recently, many researchers have attempted to introduce Vision Transformer (ViT) to the FER task. However, ViT cannot fully utilize emotional features extracted from raw images and requires a lot of computing resources. To overcome these problems, we propose a quaternion orthogonal transformer (QOT) for FER. Firstly, to reduce redundancy among features extracted from pre-trained ResNet-50, we use the orthogonal loss to decompose and compact these features into three sets of orthogonal sub-features. Secondly, three orthogonal sub-features are integrated into a quaternion matrix, which maintains the correlations between different orthogonal components. Finally, we develop a quaternion vision transformer (Q-ViT) for feature classification. The Q-ViT adopts quaternion operations instead of the original operations in ViT, which improves the final accuracies with fewer parameters. Experimental results on three in-the-wild FER datasets show that the proposed QOT outperforms several state-of-the-art models and reduces the computations.

  Vision Transformer (ViT) has achieved significant success in computer vision, but does not perform well in dense prediction tasks. We present a plain, pre-training-free, and feature-enhanced ViT backbone with Convolutional Multi-scale feature interaction, named ViT-CoMer. We propose a simple and efficient CNN-Transformer bidirectional fusion interaction module that performs multi-scale fusion across hierarchical features.
