Real-time video sentiment analysis through the use of snapshots by Ramma, Sudiptee

“…In both scenarios, the augmented models outperformed the non-augmented models when tested on unseen static image data and when such a model was applied to a real-time video stream with the help of the OpenCV library and the relevant Haar Cascade classifiers, required for the face detection process (depending on which scenario), fairly accurate results were obtained when each frame within the video stream were converted into an image snapshot before classification. The code for this dissertation can be found here: https://github.com/Drish19/Facial-Emotion-Recognition.…”
