Chapter 7. Learning to Recognize Emotions on Faces
We previously familiarized ourselves with the concepts of object detection and object recognition, but we never combined them to develop an app that can do both end-to-end. For the final chapter in this book, we will do exactly that.
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 in the detected face.
For this, we will touch upon two other classic algorithms that come bundled with OpenCV: Haar Cascade Classifiers and multi-layer peceptrons (MLPs). While the former can be used to rapidly detect (or locate, answering the question: where?) objects of various sizes and orientations in an image, ...
