Possibilitando o Reconhecimento de Expressões Faciais em Aplicações Ginga-NCL

As the facial recognition research field grows, so do the possibilities for digital TV applications. However, in the current state of the art, it is not safe to assume there is a certain algorithm that would be the best for all kinds of applications. This work proposes an architecture to enable facial expression recognition for TV in a way that is agnostic to the recognition algorithm. As proof of concept, the proposal was developed for the Ginga middleware. There are two implementations: the first one, based on the current version of the Ginga middleware, and the second one, based on a proposed extended version of the middleware, exploring the viability of the present work.
