Abstract : Facial expressions are natural ways by which people can express their feelings and emotions. In the field of affective computing and human computer interactions, a better result will be achieved when we have an intelligent interface(s) that could act and behaves in a way similar to that of human being. This research intends to bring about the development of a face recognition model and applying it to a real-data set of expressions. Five expressions will be classified which include: fear, happiness, disgust, sadness and surprise using the innovations of support vector machine (SVM) and local binary pattern (LBP). The students of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) will be used as a case study. LBP will be used for feature extraction while SVM will be used for classification and recognition of expressions.

Keywords : facial expression, detection, recognition, support vector machine, principal local binary pattern & face feature.
