New software is now able to match up perceptions with a person’s mood or intent. The scientists involved with this new software experimented with different degrees of expressions to see how sensitive the program could be in capturing and interpreting facial expressions.
The study concludes that “Dominant” and “Threatening” expressions exhibit the highest and most consistent scores for all classification rules with accuracy higher than 77% for all the classifiers. Being able to recognize when a person is getting really angry is not only beneficial to law enforcement but to the individual walking down the street as well.
