Emotion recognition in video

Abstract:

Methods and systems for recognizing emotions in video are disclosed. One example method includes the steps of receiving a video including images, detecting a face of the individual in the images, mapping the detected face to a model including at least two separated points in space corresponding to detectable emotions, each of the at least two separated points in space representing a plurality of example faces corresponding to one of the detectable emotions, determining the emotion of the individual from the detectable emotions based on a proximity of the detected face to the at least two separated points in space.
