The project entails the creation of an artificial intelligence application, designed to empower the marketing department in gauging the emotional responses of individuals engrossed in their advertisements. This innovative system is engineered to deduce the emotional states from facial expressions captured during the viewer's interaction with the ad. The application's core functionality is to classify the observed emotional states into seven distinct categories: anger, disgust, fear, joy, neutral, sadness, and surprise, employing the sophisticated capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) by capturing the video frames of the human faces and classifying them uing the trained model.
