Mobile Emotion Recognition Engine


Mobile Emotion Recognition Engine
Emotion detection within a mobile platform may be used by content developers to provide a more fulfilling user experience, such as, updating an interface and/or experience in real-time based on user emotional feedback.  The goal of this project is to create a facial expression recognition (FER) system that can accurately and efficiently process depth sensor data from a smartphone in order to elicit users’ emotional state, specifically the six Ekman emotions.
