🎭 Facial Expression Recognition

Welcome to my cool project where I use some AI magic to recognize facial expressions in real-time! Using OpenCV and DeepFace, this project detects faces and shows you what emotion you're rocking at the moment. It's like having a mirror that reads your mind... well, kinda.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/manishpatil55/facial-expression-recognition.git
cd facial-expression-recognition

2. Install the goods:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You’ll need:

• OpenCV (cv2)
• DeepFace

3. Plug in your webcam and make sure it’s ready to capture your epic reactions.

🎥 How to Run It

1. Fire up the script:

python main.py

2. Your webcam feed will pop up with your face highlighted in green. The script will guess your emotion and show it on the screen. Wanna see if it gets your mood right?

3. Press q to quit whenever you're done.

🧠 What’s Going On Here?

• Face Detector: OpenCV is on face patrol, scanning the webcam feed for any mugs to analyze.

• Emotion Detector: DeepFace steps in to figure out if you’re happy, sad, or just feeling meh.

• Showtime: The emotion and a snazzy rectangle around your face show up on the screen.

😎 Results

Here are the emotions our little AI friend can detect:

• Happy 😊
• Sad 😢
• Angry 😡
• Surprise 😲
• Fear 😨
• Disgust 😖
• Neutral 😐
