VOIS Development Part I – Facial and Emotion Recognition

Initially my VOIS development involves creating a series of prototypes that demonstrate each part of the complex functionality required, such as: facial recognition, video/audio emotion recognition, speech recognition etc.

First to tackle has been developing a mobile app for facial and emotion recognition.

Detecting Andy and his facial expressions

The app (shown in the screenshot above) was developed in C# and uses the concept of EigenFaces to initially detect someone the user knows (from a library they must accrue on their mobile device) then as the person talks the app will detect the emotion in their facial expressions.

Currently the app runs as a windows tablet app with my next task being to re-develop it in xamarin, so that it can be published to Android or iOS devices.

Bye for now.
