step1: Install Dependencies
step2: Download Pretrain Model and Dataset
step3: Face Alignment
step4: Running Experiments
We visualize the weights of attention module in the picture. The blue bars represent the self-attention weights and orange bars the final weights (the weights combine self-attention and relation-attention ).
Both weights can reflect the importance of frames. Comparing the blue and orange bars, the final weights of our FAN can assign higher weights to the more obvious face frames, while self-attention module could assign high weights on some obscure face frames. This explains why adding relation-attention boost performance.
# create the environment for the project
conda create -n emotion_fan python=3.9
conda activate emotion_fan
# install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

We share two ResNet18 models, one model pretrained in MS-Celeb-1M and another one in FER+. Baidu or OneDrive . Please put the model at the directory: "Emotion-FAN/pretrain_model/".
You can get the AFEW dataset by ask the official organizer: shreya.ghosh@iitrpr.ac.in and emotiw2014@gmail.com . Also, you can get the ck+ dataset. Please unzip the train (val) part of AFEW dataset at the directory: "./Emotion-FAN/data/video/train_afew (val_afew)", put the file "cohn-kanade-images" of the ck+ dataset at the directory: "./Emotion-FAN/data/frame/" .
