By carrying out a comparative analysis, the main goal of the paper consists in identifying a suitable algorithm from machine learning field, which has the highest accuracy (ACC). Two categories of images were used in the process, i.e., images with Gaussian noise and images with \u201csalt and pepper\u201d type noise that come from two built-in special databases. An augmentation process was applied to the initial raw images that led to the development of the two databases with added noise, as well as the subsequent augmentation of all images, i.e., rotation, reflection, translation and scaling. (2) Methods: The multiclass classification process was implemented through two subsets of methods, i.e., machine learning with random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms and deep learning with the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. (3) Results: The results obtained in this paper with the two subsets of methods belonging to the field of artificial intelligence (AI), together with the two categories of facial thermal images with added noise used as input, were very good, showing a classification accuracy of over 99% for the two categories of images, and the three corresponding classes for each. (4) Discussion: The augmented databases and the additional configurations of the implemented algorithms seems to have had a positive effect on the final classification results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/make7020027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T10:53:54Z","timestamp":1742900034000},"page":"27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["On Classification of the Human Emotions from Facial Thermal Images: A Case Study Based on Machine Learning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Marius","family":"Pavel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Faculty of Automation, Computers, Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5934-329X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simona","family":"Moldovanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, Faculty of Automation, Computers, Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9752-9629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorel","family":"Aiordachioaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Faculty of Automation, Computers, Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kamath, S., Rajendran, R., Wan, Q., Panetta, K., and Agaian, S.
