The behavior, intelligence, reason and decision making process are some of the topic that can be influenced by the emotional state of a person. In this paper we develop a computational way for emotion recognition though images using the Cohn-Kanade database to train a pattern recognition neural network and Viola Jones object detector to extract the information of the facial expression. The resulting neural network showed an overall accuracy of 90.7% in recognizing between 6 basic emotions such a surprise, fear, happiness, sadness, disgust and anger.engIEEEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaperComputer VisionEmotion detectionFACSNeural networkPattern recognitionViola Jones2021-04-12Restrepo, DavidGomez, Alejandro
