Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Summary: Interpretation of results and areas for further improvements

Further issues

Our emotion detector was able to achieve very accurate results (83%) with user-defined inputs for the main features.When combined with our automatic-cropping tool, we were still able to achieve a success rate of 71%. For the sets where our detector misclassified a pair of images, there were one of two reasons for failure:
The expressiveness between emotions was conveyed through facial regions other than the mouth. To rectify this, our detector could be adapted to examine the forehead region for furrows and wrinkles, the cheeks for dimples, and the eyes for squinting or widening. For instance, Subject 12 failed in the distinction between sad and angry. In this case, the ambiguity of emotion could be resolved by examining the eyes:

In this case, we could set a certain theshold value on the test. If examining the mouth does not meet this theshold, the program should examine other portions of the face to resolve the ambiguity.
There was little to no expressiveness of emotions. For instance, Subject 4 also failed in the distinction between sad and angry. However, in these cases, it is extremely difficult for any detector (even the human brain) to accurately classify the pictured emotions.

Conclusion

We feel that overall our emotion detection system produced consistent and accurate results. Future systems built on these methods could be expanded to include a wider range of emotions (with corresponding additions to the branching-flow network), real-time processing from a video feed, and more interactive applications.
