|
12 |
| -To set up the environment and install necessary dependencies, follow these steps: |
13 | 13 |
|
14 |
| -1. **Install Albumentations:** This library is used for augmenting the dataset. |
| 14 | +### Prerequisites |
| 15 | +Before running the project, ensure you have the following libraries installed: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +1. **Albumentations**: This library is used for data augmentation. |
15 | 18 | ```bash
|
16 | 19 | pip install -U git+https://github.com/albumentations-team/albumentations
|
| 20 | + ``` |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +2. **TIMM (PyTorch Image Models)**: This is a collection of pre-trained models and utilities for computer vision tasks. |
| 23 | + ```bash |
| 24 | + pip install timm |
| 25 | + ``` |

|
27 | 43 | ## Model Architecture
|
| 44 | +The facial expression recognition system is built using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a class of deep learning models commonly used for image-related tasks. The model architecture is designed to classify images of faces into distinct facial expression categories such as happy, sad, angry, surprised, etc. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +#### Key Components: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +- **Convolutional Layers**: Extract spatial features by applying filters to detect patterns (edges, corners, textures) essential for identifying facial expressions. |
| 49 | +- **Pooling Layers**: Downsample feature maps to reduce dimensionality while retaining important information, enhancing efficiency and mitigating overfitting. |
| 50 | +- **Fully Connected Layers**: Process extracted features for final classification into emotion categories. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- **Pre-trained Models from TIMM**: Utilizes pre-trained models like EfficientNet or ResNet from the TIMM (PyTorch Image Models) library to leverage learned knowledge from large datasets, improving training speed and accuracy. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- **Data Augmentation with Albumentations**: Enhances the dataset through transformations (e.g., rotations, flips, brightness adjustments), increasing variability and robustness against real-world conditions. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +- **Loss Function and Optimizer**: Trained using categorical cross-entropy loss for multi-class classification. Common optimizers include Adam or SGD to minimize the loss. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- **Output Layer**: Features a softmax activation function, providing probabilities for each facial expression class. The class with the highest probability is selected as the predicted emotion. |
28 | 59 |
|
29 |
| -The model architecture is based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) designed for image classification tasks. It leverages pre-trained models from the TIMM library to enhance performance and reduce training time. |
