Emotional and Mental Analyst-EMA

Abstract: Humans share a universal and fundamental set of emotions which are exhibited through consistent facial expressions, talking and writing/texting. An algorithm that performs detection, extraction, and evaluation of these expressions will allow for automatic recognition of human emotion in images, voice and text. Presented here is a hybrid feature extraction and facial expression recognition method that utilizes Viola-Jones cascade object detectors using Haar cascades extract faces and facial features, pyttsx3 which is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python and text2emotion support vector machine to determine emotion from text.
