In this work, we are building an accurate, automatic micro-expression analysis prototype that outperforms humans in spotting and recognizing facial micro-expressions in near real time. The result of this work supports DoD forensics and intelligence mission capabilities. Recognizing micro-expressions is also a primary step for continuous emotion recognition from videos, which is a key ingredient for embedding machines with emotional intelligence and creating machines that can detect, understand, and respond to human emotions.
