Image Verification and Emotion Detection using Effective Modelling Techniques

Abstract

The feelings expressed on the face reflect the manner of thinking and provide useful insights of happenings inside the brain. Face Detection enables us to identify a face. Recognizing the facial expressions for different emotions is to familiarize the machine with human like capacity to perceive and identify human feelings, which involves classifying the given input images of the face into one of the seven classes which is achieved by building a multi class classifier. The proposed methodology is based on convolutional neural organizations and works on 48x48 pixel-based grayscale images. The proposed model is tested on various images and gives the best accuracy when compared with existing functionalities. It detects faces in images, recognizes them and identifies emotions and shows improved performance because of data augmentation. The model is experimented with varying depths and pooling layers. The best results are obtained sequential model of six layers of Convolutional Neural Network and softmax activation function applied to last layer. The approach works for real time data taken from videos or photos.
