Abstract

This paper describes a new emotional detection system based on a video feed in real-time. It demonstrates how a bespoke machine learning support vector machine (SVM) can be utilized to provide quick and reliable classification. Features used in the study are 68-point facial landmarks. In a lab setting, the application has been trained to detect six different emotions by monitoring changes in facial expressions. Its utility as a basis for evaluating the emotional condition of people in situations using video and machine learning is discussed.
