Abstract-Facial Expressions of the human
being is the one which is the outcome of the inner
feelings of the mind. It is the persons internal
emotional states and intentions. A persons face
provides a lot of information such as age, gender,
identity, mood, expressions and so on. Faces play
an important role in the recognition of the
expressions of persons. In this research, an
attempt is made to design a model to classify
human facial expressions according to the features
extracted f0rom human facial images by applying
3 Sigma limits inSecond level decision using
Neural Network (NN). Now a days, Artificial
Neural Network (ANN) has been widely used as a
tool for solving many decision modeling problems.
In this paper a feed forward propagation Neural
networks are constructed for expression
classification system for gray-scale facial images.
Three groups of expressions including Happy, Sad
and Anger are used in the classification system. In
this paper, a Second level decision has been
proposed in which the output obtained from the
Neural Network(Primary Level) has been refined
at the Second level in order to improvise the
accuracy of the recognition rate. The accuracy of
the system is analyzed by the variation on the
range of the expression groups. The efficiency of
the system is demonstrated through the
experimental results.

INTRODUCTION

Feature extraction
Expression classication.
In this research, the Feature extraction and
expression classification is done by feed forward
Artificial Neural Network in multiple level decisions.
In information technology, a neural network is a
system of programs and data structures that
approximates the operation of the human brain. A
neuron is a basic information processing unit. A
neuron consists of a cell body called Soma, a number
of fibers called Dendrites, and a single long fiber
called Axon. Soma fires at different frequencies,
Dendrites receives electrical signals affected by
chemical processes. A perceptron is a simplest form
of neural network. The connections between neurons

Conclusions and Discussions
In this paper, a fast and efficient human expression
classification system is proposed to classify a facial
image into Happy, Sad and Anger using feed
forward Neural network. The final decision is made
by employing validation based on three sigma
control limits applied on the output of the Neural
network classifier. The proposed method is better in
terms of speed and accuracy. Single frontal human
