SMART MUSIC PLAYER INTEGRATING FACIAL EMOTION

RECOGNITION AND MUSIC MOOD RECOMMENDATION

CHAPTER 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Music has always been a powerful tool for human expression, emotion, and
connection. It has the unique ability to evoke a range of emotions, from joy
to nostalgia, and can significantly impact an individual's mood and well-
being. In the digital age, music streaming platforms and digital music
players have made it easier than ever to access a vast array of songs and
genres. However, these platforms typically require users to manually select
music or rely on algorithms that use historical listening data, which might
not always capture the listener's current mood or emotional state. This
project is not without its challenges. Privacy and ethical considerations are
paramount, as facial emotion recognition involves capturing sensitive
personal data. The system must also ensure accuracy in emotion detection
and avoid bias or misinterpretation. Additionally, mapping emotions to
music moods requires a nuanced understanding of music theory and human
emotions. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of this project are
significant. A music player that adapts to the listener's emotions can reduce
user fatigue, create a more enjoyable listening experience, and provide a
context-aware approach to music recommendation. The technology
developed in this project could also have broader applications in areas such
as gaming, virtual reality, or therapeutic settings, where emotional
awareness plays a crucial role. In today's digital age, personalized
recommendation systems have become increasingly popular, catering to the
diverse preferences and interests of users. Emotion-based music

1
 recommendation systems represent a unique approach to personalized
recommendations, leveraging the emotional impact of music to enhance
user experience. Our project, the Emotion-Based Music Recommender,
aims to provide users with personalized song recommendations tailored to
their current emotional state.

1.1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Traditional music recommendation systems often rely on user listening

history, genre preferences, or collaborative filtering techniques. However,
these approaches may not capture the nuanced emotional responses that
music can evoke. Users may seek music that aligns with their current mood
or emotional needs, but existing recommendation systems may struggle to
provide relevant suggestions based on emotional context alone. Traditional
recommendation systems do not consider the user's context, such as their

2
facial expressions or emotional cues, leading to generic music suggestions
that may not meet their current needs. Having to manually select or change
music based on mood can be tiresome, especially for users who want to relax
or need a quick mood lift. Decision fatigue can set in, leading to a less
enjoyable music experience. To address these issues, a music player that
integrates facial emotion recognition with music mood recommendation
offers a solution. By analysing the user's facial expressions and emotional
state, this system can recommend and play music that suits the listener's
mood, enhancing the emotional connection and creating a more intuitive and
enjoyable music experience. However, integrating facial emotion recognition
with music mood recommendation presents unique challenges, including
privacy and ethical concerns, ensuring the accuracy of emotion detection, and
mapping emotions to appropriate music. This project aims to develop a
solution that addresses these challenges while creating a personalized and
context-aware music experience. Therefore, the problem this project seeks to
solve is how to design a music player that can automatically recognize a
listener's emotional state and recommend music that aligns with or improves
their mood, providing a seamless, user-centric experience that addresses the
limitations of traditional music players and recommendation systems.

1.1.2 OBJECTIVE

(1) Develop a real-time emotion detection system using facial landmarks and
hand gestures captured through a webcam feed.

(2) Implement a deep learning-based model for emotion recognition, trained

on labelled facial expression datasets.

3
(3) Integrate the emotion detection system with a web application using the
Stream lit framework, allowing users to interact with the system through a
user-friendly interface.

(4) Provide personalized song recommendations based on the user's detected

emotion, preferred language, and singer inputs.

(5) Evaluate the effectiveness and user satisfaction of the Emotion-Based

Music Recommender through user testing and feedback collection.

1.1.3 BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION FOR THE PROJECT.

Traditional music recommendation systems often overlook the emotional

context of music consumption, focusing primarily on user preferences and
listening history. However, music has a profound impact on our emotions
and mood, influencing how we feel and experience the world around us.
Recognizing this, the Emotion-Based Music Recommender project aims to
address this gap by incorporating real-time emotion detection into the
recommendation process. Music mood analysis involves classifying songs
based on their emotional characteristics. Researchers have developed
algorithms to analyse features such as tempo, key, mode, and lyrics to
determine a song's mood. Music databases, like the Million Song Dataset,
have enabled large-scale analysis to facilitate mood-based categorization.
By capturing users' emotional states through facial expressions and hand
gestures using a webcam feed, our system offers personalized song
recommendations that align with users' current emotional needs and
preferences. Music can influence mood and emotional well-being. Advances
in computer vision and machine learning have enabled systems to recognize
human emotions from facial expressions with increasing accuracy. This
technology has applications in various domains, including security,

4
marketing, and human-computer interaction. A music player that aligns with
the user's current emotional state can be used to uplift, relax, or energize
them, contributing to a positive experience. By considering the user's
emotional context, the music player can offer more relevant music
recommendations, leading to higher user satisfaction and engagement. This
innovative approach not only enhances the user experience by providing
more relevant and engaging recommendations but also showcases the
potential of technology to deepen our emotional connection with music.
While this project focuses on music, similar technology could be used in
other contexts, like video streaming, gaming, or virtual reality. By adapting
content to users' emotional states, these technologies could enhance user
experiences across various domains.

In summary, the Emotion-Based Music Recommender project is driven by

the recognition of the importance of emotional engagement in music
listening and the desire to create a more personalized and enriching music
discovery experience for users. Through our innovative approach, we aim
to revolutionize the way users interact with music, fostering deeper
emotional connections and enhancing overall satisfaction with music
recommendation systems.

METHODOLOGY

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND

COMPONENTS:

 The emotion-based music recommender system architecture follows a

modular design, comprising three main components:

 Emotion detection module: Emotion detection is a technology that

aims to identify and categorize human emotions based on various
inputs such as facial expressions, voice tones, physiological signals,
or text data. This component is responsible for real-time emotion
detection from webcam feeds. It utilizes the mediapipe library to
detect facial landmarks and hand gestures, which are then processed
to infer the user's emotional state.

 Recommendation engine: Recommendation engines are critical tools

for providing personalized experiences and enhancing user
engagement across various domains. By leveraging a combination of
collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and machine learning,
recommendation engines can offer accurate and relevant
recommendations. The recommendation engine gives personalized
song recommendations based on the detected emotion, preferred
language, and singer inputs provided by the user. It queries online
platforms such as youtube to retrieve relevant music content.

 User interface: developed using streamlit, the user interface provides

an intuitive web-based platform for users to interact with the system.
It displays the webcam feed with overlays indicating detected facial
landmarks and hand gestures, along with options to input preferences
and trigger song recommendations.

3.2 OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNOLOGIES AND LIBRARIES USED:

 Streamlit: Streamlit is a python library used for building interactive

web applications with minimal code. It simplifies the development of
user interfaces and data visualization directly from python scripts. It
enables real-time updates to the user interface. When the code changes
or user input is received, the web app automatically re-renders, making
the interaction seamless. Streamlit apps can be easily deployed to the
web, allowing others to interact with them. The framework offers
integration with popular cloud platforms like Heroku and Google
Cloud, and the Streamlit Community Cloud provides a free hosting
option for Streamlit apps.

11
 Mediapipe: developed by google, mediapipe is an open-source library
for building machine learning pipelines for perception tasks such as
facial recognition, hand tracking, and pose estimation. It provides pre-
trained models and tools for real-time inference on various platforms.
Mediapipe can work with popular machine learning frameworks like
TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite, allowing developers to use custom
models within their Mediapipe pipelines. Mediapipe offers a range of
prebuilt solutions for common machine learning tasks, such as face
detection, facial landmarks, pose estimation, hand tracking, and object
detection. These solutions are optimized for real-time performance and
can be integrated into applications with minimal effort.

 Keras: keras is a high-level deep learning api that simplifies the

development and deployment of deep neural networks. Although Keras
began as a standalone library, it is now integrated with TensorFlow,
which provides a robust backend for running Keras models. Keras is
widely used in academic research and experimentation due to its
simplicity and flexibility. Researchers can quickly prototype and test
new neural network architectures. This integration allows Keras to
leverage TensorFlow's powerful computational capabilities and
deployment options. In this project, keras is used to load a pre-trained
deep learning model for emotion recognition from facial landmarks.

 Opencv: opencv (open source computer vision library) is a popular

open-source computer vision and machine learning software library.
OpenCV is primarily written in C++, but it also has bindings for
Python, Java, and other languages. The Python bindings, in particular,
are popular due to their ease of use and integration with data science
and machine learning frameworks. OpenCV provides tools for
detecting and tracking objects in images and videos. This includes face
12
 detection, vehicle detection, and tracking moving objects in real-time.
It is used for image and video processing tasks such as webcam
capture, image manipulation, and feature extraction.

3.3 EXPLANATION OF THE EMOTION DETECTION AND

RECOGNITION ALGORITHMS EMPLOYED:

Emotion detection generally involves several key steps, depending on the

type of input data being used:

 Data Collection: This step involves capturing input data, such as

images, videos, audio, or text. In facial emotion recognition, data is
typically collected via a camera, such as a webcam

 Preprocessing: The collected data may require preprocessing to prepare

it for analysis. For facial images, this might include converting to
greyscale, resizing, or normalizing the images. In audio-based emotion
detection, it could involve noise reduction or feature extraction.

13
 Feature Extraction: This step involves identifying key features that are
relevant to emotion detection. For facial emotion recognition, this
might include detecting facial landmarks (such as Facial landmark and
Hand gesture) and extracting geometrical features (such as distances
and angles). In other cases, it might involve extracting audio features
or text-based sentiment analysis.

 Facial landmark detection: the mediapipe library is employed to detect

key facial landmarks, including points on the face such as eyes, nose,
and mouth. These landmarks serve as input features for analysing
facial expressions and inferring the user's emotional state.

 Hand gesture recognition: hand gestures are also detected using the
mediapipe library, providing additional cues for emotion inference.
The positions and movements of the hands are analysed to further
refine the estimation of the user's emotional state.

 Emotion recognition model: a pre-trained deep learning model, loaded

using keras, is employed for emotion recognition from facial
landmarks. The model is trained on labelled datasets of facial
expressions to predict the user's emotion based on the extracted
features. It outputs a classification label corresponding to the predicted
emotion,

 Output and Interpretation: Once the emotion is classified, it can be

used to trigger specific responses or actions. In the context of a smart
music player, the detected emotion could be used to recommend music
that aligns with or alters the current mood. which is then used to
generate personalized song recommendations.
