Facial expression recognition focuses on extracting expression-related features on a face. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for facial expression modeling based on the following two aspects: seeking expression-related regions more accurately, and enhancing expression features more discriminating. To this end, we design a model containing three submodules: the Expression Feature Extractor ( EFE ), the Expression Mask Refiner ( EMR ), and the Expression Pattern-Map Generator ( EPMG ). The EFE module is the backbone that extracts expression features and generates a coarse attention mask which roughly indicates expression-related regions. The EMR module refines the mask to be more precise by modeling the relationship among expression-related regions, and generates the masked features. The EPMG module utilizes the masked features to further model the fusion and extraction process which obtains a compact and discriminating expression-salient embedding for recognition, and generates an expression pattern-map. We propose the concept of the expression pattern-map, which provides a unified visualization of expression features and improves the interpretability of facial expression recognition. Our model is evaluated on four public datasets (CK+, Oulu-CASIA, RAF-DB, AffectNet), and achieves the competitive performance compared with the state-of-the-art.
