SHORE® Face Detection and Analysis Software – Empathy for your Technology

Human facial expressions say more than words. They are a tool and a means of conveying our feelings, both consciously and unconsciously. Our facial expressions can emphasize or contradict verbal statements.

In order to make these unconscious or contradictory emotional expressions recognizable in the face, the software-supported analysis of facial expressions can be an important component in your system, especially in areas of application where authentic, spontaneous user reactions are required.

SHORE® records both the basic emotions (happy, angry, sad, surprised, frightened, disgusted, neutral) and whether the predominant emotion is positive or negative (valence). In addition, SHORE® estimates age and gender. Robust results can be generated for both RGB and infrared cameras.

SHORE® records the human heart rate without contact. All that is needed is a standard webcam. In combination with emotion recognition, SHORE® is thus even better able to make statements about the psychophysiological state of a person.
