Most automatic facial expression analysis (AFEA) systems attempt to recognize facial expressions from data collected in a highly controlled environment with very high resolution frontal faces ( face regions greater than 200 x 200 pixels). However, in real environments, the face image is often in lower resolution and with head motion. It is unclear that the performance of AFEA systems for low resolution face images. The general approach to AFEA consists of 3 steps: face acquisition, facial feature extraction, and facial expression recognition. This paper explores the effects of different image resolutions for each step of facial expression analysis. The different approaches are compared for face detection, face data extraction and expression recognition. A total of five different resolutions of the head region are studied (288x384, 144x192, 72x96, 36x48, and 18Xx24) based on a widely used public database [16]. The lower resolution images are down-sampled from the originals. 1.
