We previously familiarized ourselves with the concepts of object detection and object recognition. In this chapter, we will develop an app that does both together. The app will be able to detect your own face in each captured frame of a webcam live stream, recognize your facial emotion, and label it on the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The goal of this chapter is to develop an app that combines both face detection and face recognition, with a focus on recognizing emotional expressions for the detected face. After reading the chapter, you will be able to use both face detection and recognition in different applications of your own.
We will be covering the following topics in this chapter:
- Planning the app
- Learning about face detection
- Collecting data for machine learning tasks
- Understanding facial emotion recognition
- Putting it all together...
