Then it is related to face to find the probability of the largest connected region. If this regions height and width greater than or equal to 50 and the ratio between height and width is 1 and 2, then this area may be considered as the face [1]. For detection of the face boundary, the image is converted to a binary image. Then the binary image is used to isolate the forehead from the face. This is done by horizontally and vertically scanning the image from the mid-point. The maximum width is calculated. The eyebrow region is reached if the new width is half of the previous maximum width. After this, the face is cropped from the forehead and its height is 1.5 multiplied with its width.
2.2 Boundary detection
To detect the boundary of the eye region it is important to first find middle positions between the two eyes. Then the upper and lower positions of the eyebrows are found. The pixels are scanned horizontally and vertically to find the lower and upper position of two eyebrows. The detection is lip is done by considering the lip box and calculating the distance between the forehead and eyes. Then the lower height of eyes and the upper height of the lip box is determined. Then, the RGB image is sliced according to the lip box and sobel edge detector is used for detecting the eye and the lip region [1] [2][3].

    “Flora and fauna were vitally important to her pre-Columbian ancestors and during her life this precious resource was cultivated by the oppressed indigenous population she championed. She connects herself to the natural world by echoing the hairs on the vegetation and monkey in her own tresses, styled in her signature indigenous fashion. This bond with nature is reinforced by the curves of her monkey’s arm that embrace her neck, the root-like ribbon slung around the monkey (which she used as a symbol for life-lines), the bone-like necklace Frida wears, and the green ribbon woven so skillfully into her hair that she becomes a part of the leaves” ( Ortega,J.,L.2014). All the forms in this painting are smooth and given special observation to details. Fine…

    In our example, the visual message (the eye rolling and facial expression) does not agree with the audible message (the words being spoken). This is sarcasm and irony. Moreover, messages within the same medium can conflict to produce a “sarcastic” interpretation. For example, when someone is being sarcastic, their tone of voice (an audible message) conflicts with the words spoken (also an audible message); in this case the contradicting messages within one transmission medium result in a “sarcastic tone”. The scholarly article, Lower, Slower, Louder: Vocal Cues of Sarcasm Vocal describes how people can detect sarcasm.…

    Paul Ekman’s book, “Unmasking the Face: A Guide to Recognizing Emotions from Facial Expressions,” is incredibly informative and contains information as well as examples and pictures to ensure the reader’s understanding. Instead of going straight into the facts, he introduced why reading someone’s emotions could be important, where it could be used, and why someone would want to obtain such a skill set. The book made me realize that as humans, we literally wear our emotions on our sleeves, whether we realize it or not. No matter how good you may be, or think you may be at hiding your emotions, the truth is that it is actually easy to tell how you actually feel. Paul Ekman goes into depth on every single emotion.…

    Each micro expression of the face can be tied to an exact meaning which correlates with a mental process. Face reading has an advantage over verbal communications because these miniscule expressions cannot be consciously controlled, and therefore have direct connotations to mental processes. Ekman found about three thousand micro expressions to which he could assign specific connotations and called them by a numbered action-unit. All these action units catalogue the “essential repertoire of human emotion” (Gladwell). This is not to say that the three thousand action units explain every human emotion, in the psychological view of the face, only expressions that have specific and universal denotations can be considered an action unit.…
