Real-time Facial Emotion Detection (Recognition) from Facial Expressions
Real-time Facial Emotion Detection from Facial Expressions Asset is an open source software component that is developed at the Open University of the Netherlands.
This work has been partially funded by the EC H2020 project RAGE (Realising an Applied Gaming Eco-System); http://www.rageproject.eu/; Grant agreement No 644187.
This software component has the following advantages:
1. This real-time emotion detection asset is a client side software component that can detect emotions from players’ faces.
2. You can use it for instance in games for communication training or conflict management. Or for collecting emotion data during play-testing.
3. The software detects emotions in real-time and it returns a string representing six basic emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, and anger. It can also detect the neutral face.
4. The presence of multiple players would not be a problem as the software component can detect multiple faces and their emotions at the same time.
5. As inputs it may use the player’s webcam stream. But, it can also be used with a single image file, or with a recorded video file.
6. The emotion detection is highly accurate: the accuracy is over 83%, which is comparable with human judgment.
7. The software is written in C-Sharp. It runs in Microsoft Windows 7, 8, and 10, and it can be easily integrated in many game engines, including, for instance Unity3D.
8. This software uses the Apache-2 open source license, which means that you can use it for free, even in commercial applications.
9. The real-time emotion detection asset allows you to capture the players’ emotional states and incorporate these as variables in your game.
