AI Powered Facial Expression Analysis
Our face displays our outward emotional expressions – giving a view of how we show our inner emotional state. These expressed emotional states are detected in real time using fully automated computer algorithms that record facial expressions via webcam.
Tracking facial expressions can, when used in controlled contexts and in collaboration with other biosensors, be a powerful indicator of emotional experiences. While no single sensor is able to read minds, the synthesis of multiple data streams combined with strong empirical methods can begin to reach in that direction.
Live or post automatic facial coding from any video
The iMotions Facial Expression Analysis Module seamlessly integrates leading automated facial coding engines: Affectiva’s AFFDEX and Realeyes. Using a webcam, you can live synchronize expressed facial emotions with stimuli directly in the iMotions software. If you have recorded facial videos, you can simply import videos and carry out the analysis. Gain insights via built-in analysis and visualization tools, or export data for additional analyses.
Detect 7 core emotions
iMotions’ advanced emotion detection technology analyzes facial expressions to identify the seven core emotions: Joy, anger, fear, surprise, sadness, contempt and disgust. By capturing subtle muscle movements and micro expressions, our system provides real-time insights into emotional states.
Researchers and businesses can leverage this data for various applications, including user experience testing, market research, and mental health assessment. Understanding emotional responses enhances product design, marketing strategies, and overall well-being.
Get Valence and Engagement Statistics For Your Content
Valence and engagement are crucial metrics for understanding emotional responses. Valence represents the overall emotional tone, ranging from negative to positive. It helps researchers assess user experiences, product preferences, and brand perception. High valence indicates positive emotions, while low valence suggests negative feelings.
On the other hand, engagement measures the level of expressiveness and involvement. It reflects how actively an individual responds to stimuli, such as advertisements, videos, or interactive content. By tracking valence and engagement, businesses can optimize marketing strategies, improve user satisfaction, to name a few.
Track the Movement of the Face for Facial Expression Analysis
Researchers are already using the facial expression analysis module to:
- Measure personality correlates of facial behavior
- Test affective dynamics in game-based learning
- Explore emotional responses in teaching simulations
- Assessing physiological responses to driving in different conditions
- And more
