Expression Tuna – World of Expressive music

Abstract

Music forms an integral part of human beings and acts as a channel to help an individual to express his/her emotions. It also connects the listener with stimulus related to other emotions. The mood or emotion of the individual is communicated partly through the expressions on the face. Demand therefore exists for a system to assess the emotion or mood of a person and play the music to elicit the emotion. A technical approach includes the system recognizing the captured face expressions in a numeric form and identifying the individual’s emotion determined by the centroid of these features. A musical piece or song is played according to this emotion from the play-list.
