Lie to Me: A Computational Tool/Software Development for Detecting Micro-expression in Video Files

We will identify the micro expression in the video.

Design and implement algorithms/software to find the occurrence of micro-expressions from video files.

Project description

Together with the project mentor, students will work to develop a method to find the presence of (spot the start & end time) human micro-expression in videos.

Learn more about this project by reviewing slides and a video prepared by the project mentor.

Project outcome

Students will develop skills related to image process, computer vision and machine learning.
