Smile Measurement Software
Omron released a very interesting piece of technology “Smile Measurement Software”. As you can see on the picture above the application is able to detect the smile factor of one or several people on a scale of 0% to 100%:
“The software measures’ how much a subject is smiling and outputs a ‘smile factor’ on a scale of 0 to 100% 3D face mapping technology ensures accurate smile detection and measurement even if the subject is not looking directly at the camera, something which other technologies on the market have not always been able to do, and which opens up avenues for applications in mobile devices.”
The Omron’s Smile Measurement Software doesn’t take a lot of computer resources and is small enough to be embedded on an IC chip for mobile apps.
