Song Recommendation System Based on Real-Time Facial Expressions

Abstract: Traditional methods of playing music according to a person's mood required human interaction. Migrating to computer vision technology will enable the automation of the such system. This article describes the implementation details of a real-time facial feature extraction and emotion recognition system. One way to do this is to compare selected facial features from an image to a face database. Recognizing emotions from images has become one of the active research topics in image processing and applications based on human-computer interaction. The expression on the face is detected using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for classifying human emotions from dynamic facial expressions in real time. The FER dataset is utilized to train the model which contains approximately 30,000 facial RGB images of different expressions. Expression-based music players aim to scan and interpret data and build playlists accordingly. It will suggest a playlist of songs based on your facial expressions. This is an additional feature of the existing feature of a music player.
