Patrick’s Status Report for 2/15/20

Completed tasks:

• Installed Python3 and OpenCV on local machine.
• Installed Tensorflow
• Wrote face detection program
• Planned out algorithm for training facial emotion recognition
  • Use pre-trained CNN (VGG19) to extract facial features
    • VGG19 available in tensorflow
  • Feed feature vector into SVM and classify into 6 emotions

To-do:

• Verify face detection – OpenCV unable to open camera through WSL, need to find work-around
• Test facial feature extraction with VGG19
• Write SVM and begin preliminary training
• Design review presentation and report
