Facial Expression and Emotion Detection

Facial Expression and Emotion Detection


The process of identifying human emotion is known as emotion recognition. The precision with which people can gauge the emotions of others varies greatly. The use of technology to assist humans in recognizing emotions is a relatively new area of study. In general, the technology performs best when it integrates several modalities into the context. A facial expression is made up of one or more movements or facial muscle postures. One disputed theory claims that these movements reveal an individual's emotional condition to on lookers. Nonverbal communication can also take the shape of facial expressions. In addition to humans, most other mammals and several other animal species also use them as a key method of social communication.
