Facial expression compensation

It is challenging for facial recognition technology to recognize a person correctly. It is even more challenging when trying to recognize a person if this person is showing any form of facial expression. Facial expressions deform the face in various ways. The facial recognition technology of today will perform worse while a person is showing these kind of facial expressions. In this research we will take a look at the possibilities to compensate facial expressions. The research consists of two parts. The first part being creation of a new database for facial expressions. This database will contain alternated frames, which will give us more insight in the deformation of the face. The database also ensures us for a smooth as possible deformation for warping. The second part being the actual compensation of facial expressions. This will be done through image warping.
