Stress is an integral state that affects physical and mental health of individuals. Tissue Oxygen Saturation (StO2) is an emerging physiological signal and can reflect different stress states. Previous studies have simply extracted features of StO2 from specific regions of the face without exploring potential associations between them. In this paper, we analyze the facial Region of Interest (ROI) based on StO2, so as to explore the deep relationship between ROIs. Building upon this, we construct, for the first time, a StO2-based facial graph structure for stress recognition by using ROIs as nodes. In addition, we propose a new graph pooling method called FTPool which allows to measure node significance in terms of both node characteristics and graph topology. Finally, we further propose a dual-stream network (GCNet) combining GNN and CNN for the baseline-independent stress recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed GCNet can achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) results with an accuracy of 78.57% on the original unbalanced database.
