Malaysia Ethnicity-based Facial Expression Classification and Emotion Mapping

Human are commonly good in notifying several emotions via facial expression. In daily human communication, it is crucial for each person to be able to convey his emotions and perceive others respectively using speech, facial expressions and body movements. The computer vision experts are continuousl...
