Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a system (100) for automated recognition of facial micro-expressions from facial video data. The system (100) comprises a user device (102) configured to receive facial video data, a pre-processing unit (104) configured to perform face detection, facial alignment, image resizing, and pixel intensity normalization to generate standardized facial image data, a triplet sampling unit (106) configured to identify and extract representative onset, apex, and offset frames, a motion analysis unit (108) configured to determine facial motion information and facial deformation information and generate a motion representation, a processing unit (110), and a user interface unit (120). The processing unit (110) comprises a feature extraction module (112), a handcrafted feature extraction module (114), a feature fusion module (116), and a classification module (118) configured to extract complementary feature representations, classify plurality of facial emotion categories, and generate a corresponding recognition result with a confidence score for display through the user interface unit (120).
