This program uses your local webcam to recognise 6 different emotions; Happiness, Sadness, Angry, Fear, Surprise and Neutral. Everything happens in real time using OpenCV and Convolution Neural Networks.
(Excuse the silly faces lol)
- Python 3.X
- Tensorflow 2.0 or higher
- OpenCV
- Numpy
To run it on your local machine, download all files into the same folder. Run "emotion_model.py" to train the model and then "emotion_detection.py" to start the program.

Kaggle dataset: https://www.kaggle.com/c/challenges-in-representation-learning-facial-expression-recognition-challenge/data
The original dataset had 7 different class labels. I got rid of "Disgust" as it only had <500 training examples, not enough to properly train the model.
