Abstract: In many face recognition systems, the important part is face detection. The task of detecting face is complex due to its variability present across human faces including color, pose, expression, position, and orientation. So, by using various modeling techniques it is convenient to recognize various facial expressions. The system proposed consists of three phases, the facial expression database, pre-processing and classification. To simulate and assess recognition efficiency based on different variables (network composition, learning patterns and pre-processing), we present both the Japanese Female Facial Expression Database (JAFFE) and the Extended Cohn-Kanade Dataset (CK+). Comparative approaches of data preprocessing include face detection, translation, normalization of global contrast and histogram equalization. Significant results were obtained with 85.52 percent accuracy particularly in comparison with some other pre-processing phases and raw data in single pre-processing phases. The result indicates the ANN classifier representation produces a satisfactory result which reaches more accuracy.
