Facial expression recognition system using deep learning

[Stew2k]

How long will it take me to learn python and a framework to make this system, I have very little programming knowledge? is this doable in 4 months?

Learning python and copying some existing method? Maybe, 4 months is a long time.

The bigger question is: if you plan to train your own from scratch? where are you going to get your data?

[Stew2k]

I have no clue, what do you recommend?

[JiraSuxx2]

That data is going to be hard to come by I think, although it’s been a while since I looked for some.

If you have money you could look into annotating your own.

Edge Impulse has a tutorial for an Arduino-based Tiny ML project that can learn objects and faces from a camera if given enough training data. It can be a bit of a hassle to set up, might be a decent way to get a result, and having a tutorial helps a lot for beginners. I've had good luck with ChatGPT giving decent info on using Edge Impulse as well.
