• Authors: Yini Fang, Didan Deng, Liang Wu, Frederic Jumelle, Bertram Shi
• Abstract summary: Micro-expressions (MEs) are involuntary and subtle facial expressions that are thought to reveal feelings people are trying to hide. Recent works leverage detailed facial motion representations, such as the optical flow, leading to high computational complexity. We propose RMES, a real-time ME spotting framework, to reduce computational complexity and achieve real-time operation.

• Abstract: Micro-expressions (MEs) are involuntary and subtle facial expressions that are thought to reveal feelings people are trying to hide. ME spotting detects the temporal intervals containing MEs in videos. Detecting such quick and subtle motions from long videos is difficult. Recent works leverage detailed facial motion representations, such as the optical flow, and deep learning models, leading to high computational complexity. To reduce computational complexity and achieve real-time operation, we propose RMES, a real-time ME spotting framework. We represent motion using phase computed by Riesz Pyramid, and feed this motion representation into a three-stream shallow CNN, which predicts the likelihood of each frame belonging to an ME. In comparison to optical flow, phase provides more localized motion estimates, which are essential for ME spotting, resulting in higher performance. Using phase also reduces the required computation of the ME spotting pipeline by 77.8%. Despite its relative simplicity and low computational complexity, our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on two public datasets: CAS(ME)2 and SAMM Long Videos.

  In this paper, we propose an efficient framework for facial expression spotting. First, we propose a Sliding Window-based Multi-Resolution Optical flow (SW-MRO) feature, which calculates multi-resolution optical flow of the input sequence within compact sliding windows. Second, we propose SpotFormer, a multi-scale-temporal Transformer that simultaneously encodes facial-temporal relationships of the SW-MRO features for accurate frame-level probability estimation. Third, we introduce supervised contrastive learning into SpotFormer to enhance the discriminability between different types of expressions.

  Given an untrimmed video, temporal sentence grounding aims to locate a target moment semantically according to a sentence query. Previous respectable works have made decent success, but they only focus on high-level visual features extracted from decoded frames. We propose a new setting, compressed-domain TSG, which directly utilizes compressed videos rather than fully-decompressed frames as the visual input.

Motivated by the fact that human is able to recognize an action by tracking objects' position changes and shape changes, we propose to reconstruct a motion trajectory that represents these two kinds of change in the masked regions. Pre-trained with our MME paradigm, the model is able to anticipate long-term and fine-grained motion details.

  We propose a novel approach for local Lagrangian motion magnification of facial micro-motions. Our contribution is three-fold: first, we fine tune the recurrent all-pairs field transforms (RAFT) for OFs deep learning approach for faces. Second, since facial micro-motions are both local in space and time, we propose to approximate the OF field by sparse components both in space and time leading to a double sparse decomposition.
