Sales increase

Emotion Recognition module can be used to collect marketing information and increase sales! By recognizing customers’ emotions, you can improve the quality of service and client-oriented approach. Also “Face detector (Emotions)” will be a helpful tool to analyze the results of an advertising campaign showing the emotions of visitors that come to the banner ad, video-ad on TV, billboard, promo products on the shelf. Having considered the emotions of people from advertising, you can conclude whether the campaign was successful or not, and then properly allocate the budget for further marketing activities.

Emotions recognition may become equally important for the analysis of office life and the atmosphere in the team because the success of the company directly depends on the employees. By recognizing emotions of the employees during the day, you can collect information about the atmosphere in the office and improve it, so this way it will help to improve the quality of work.

Safety control

Also, “Emotions Recognition” can be used to ensure safety!
In crowded places such as airports, metro stations, railroad stations and shopping centers, Xeoma’s “Face detector (Emotions)” can monitor people and recognize negative emotions detected preventing vandalism and other problems.

By recognizing the mood of the crowd, particular conflicts can be prevented at events such as public meetings and concerts.

Working with other modules

Thanks to the flexible modular system in Xeoma, Emotions recognition can be used in conjunction with other modules.

For example, for security purposes you can use a chain of modules “Face detector (Emotions)” + notification modules (pop up window, email and SMS sender and so on). E.g. in the airport you can use pop up window of the app for notifying when negative emotions are detected.

For collecting of marketing info you can use “Face detector (Emotions)” and heatmap checking zone which customers visited the most and receive information about their emotions.

For advertising campaigns analysis of a specific category of people (men, women) you can use “Face detector (Emotions)” + “Gender recognition” modules’ chain.

Also for sales increase and quality of service improvement “Face detector (Emotions)” can be used alongside “HTTP marking” module that can add metadata on the screen e.g. name of the manager and date. This way it will be possible to know for sure whether the client was satisfied after communicating with a particular manager or not.

For monitoring office environment and atmosphere in the team, you can use “Face detector” + “Face detector (Emotions)” modules recognizing emotions of the particular people.
 

The Face Detector (Emotions) module can save reports in spreadsheet CSV files (tick the corresponding option in its settings for that). CSV spreadsheets are used to form a powerful reports system. You can import CSV reports into programs like Excel or LibreOffice and build reports and graphs of any sophistication level there. Alternatively, CSV can be imported into mysql and used to form any kind of reports with the help of mysqladmin web interface – or just make a simple several-lines-of-code script for an automated reporting. See examples and guides in the Internet.

Starting with Xeoma 23.12.7 the new option to set up the range of face recognition has been added to the emotion recognition module. Set the maximum distance where the face is expected to appear with a ‘Range of face recognition’ slider to increase the accuracy with which the module detects faces and recognizes emotions. Please note that greater distances will yield higher processor load.
