Emotion detection in sequence of images using advanced PCA with SVM

Empowering machine frameworks to distinguish facial expressions and further to deduce emotions from the sequence of images continuously presents an exigent research subject. This paper proposes Fast PCA, an alterations to PCA by using SVD that gives the best rank for any matrix and can produce almost ideal correctness in just a few iterations also being speedier than the general PCA. We utilize a programmed facial characteristic tracker to perform face detection. The facial characteristics from the sequences are utilized as input data to a Support Vector Machine classifier. The Cohn-Kanade dataset has been used for the testing of our approach.
