Achieving Accuracy in Facial Coding with Labeling
Contributor: Andy Dreisch, VP, Customer Success at Affectiva
Most people are innately capable of reading the facial expressions of others and most of us do this all the time, effortlessly and subconsciously. The systematic coding of facial video however, is a different story – it takes an expert human labeler (a certified Facial Action Coding System coder) about 10-minutes to code one-minute of video, making manual facial coding time-consuming, laborious and hard to scale. To scale facial coding, a computer-based approach is needed.
