Facial emoji recognition is a human-computer interaction system. In recent times, automatic face recognition or facial expression recognition has attracted increasing attention from researchers in psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, and similar fields. Facial emoji recognizer is an end user application which detects the expression of the person in the video being captured by the camera. The smiley relevant to the expression of the person in the video is shown on the screen which changes with the change in the expressions. Facial expressions are important in human communication and interactions. Also, they are used as an important tool in studies about behavior and in medical fields. Facial emoji recognizer provides a fast and practical approach for non-meddlesome emotion detection. The purpose was to develop an intelligent system for facial based expression classification using CNN algorithm. Haar classifier is used for face detection and CNN algorithm is utilized for the expression detection and giving the emoticon relevant to the expression as the output.
