Abstract

An electronic device obtains an image that includes a face. The device performs feature extraction on the image, to obtain facial expression information corresponding to the face and facial feature information corresponding to the facial expression, wherein the facial feature information indicates an extent of the facial expression. The device determines facial emotion information according to the facial expression information. The device also determines facial feature expression information according to a target feature value corresponding to the facial emotion and the facial feature information. This expression recognition techniques disclosed herein can implement multi-task learning and reduce an amount of data required for model training, and can obtain both an emotion recognition result and a local expression recognition result, thereby improving efficiency and real-time performance of expression recognition and improving user experience.
