Abstract

Emotion has an important role in daily life, as it helps people better communicate with and understand each other more efficiently. Facial expressions can be classified into 7 categories: angry, disgust, fear, happy, neutral, sad and surprise. How to detect and recognize these seven emotions has become a popular topic in the past decade. In this paper, we develop an emotion recognition system that can apply emotion recognition on both still images and real-time videos by using deep learning. We build our own emotion recognition classification and regression system from scratch, which includes dataset collection, data preprocessing, model training and testing. Given a certain image or a real-time video, our system is able to show the classification and regression results for all of the 7 emotions. The proposed system is tested on 2 different datasets, and achieved an accuracy of over 80%. Moreover, the result obtained from realtime testing proves the feasibility of implementing convolutional neural networks in real time to detect emotions accurately and efficiently.
