# 😊 Live Face Emotion Detection

A real-time face emotion detection system that can identify 7 different emotions with high accuracy. This application uses a fine-tuned deep learning model specifically trained for facial emotion recognition.

## 🌟 Features

### 📷 **Single Image Analysis**
- Upload any image and get instant emotion detection
- Visual bounding boxes around detected faces
- Confidence scores for each emotion prediction
- Support for multiple faces in one image

### 🎥 **Live Webcam Detection** 
- Real-time emotion detection using your webcam
- Instant visual feedback with emotion labels
- Optimized for smooth live processing
- Privacy-focused (all processing done locally)

### 📊 **Detailed Statistics**
- Comprehensive emotion analysis with statistics
- Average and maximum confidence scores
- Detection frequency for each emotion
- Perfect for research and analysis

### 🔄 **Batch Processing**
- Process multiple images at once
- Bulk emotion analysis for datasets
- Export results for further analysis
- Time-efficient batch operations

## 🎭 Supported Emotions

The model can detect these 7 emotional states:

- 😠 **Angry** - Expressions of anger, frustration, or annoyance
- 🤢 **Disgust** - Expressions of revulsion or distaste  
- 😨 **Fear** - Expressions of fear, anxiety, or worry
- 😊 **Happy** - Expressions of joy, contentment, or pleasure
- 😢 **Sad** - Expressions of sadness, sorrow, or melancholy
- 😲 **Surprise** - Expressions of surprise, shock, or amazement
- 😐 **Neutral** - Calm, neutral expressions with no strong emotion
