SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
CNN Architecture
Convolutional Neural Network consists of multiple layers like the input layer, Convolutional
layer, Pooling layer, and fully connected layers.
The Convolutional layer applies filters to the input image to extract features, the Pooling layer
downsamples the image to reduce computation, and the fully connected layer makes the final
prediction. The network learns the optimal filters through backpropagation and gradient
descent.
Convolution Neural Networks or covnets are neural networks that share their parameters.
Imagine you have an image. It can be represented as a cuboid having its length, width
(dimension of the image), and height (i.e the channel as images generally have red, green, and
blue channels).
7|Page
FIGURE 2.2: Cuboid having length and Breadth
Now imagine taking a small patch of this image and running a small neural network, called a
filter or kernel on it, with say, K outputs and representing them vertically. Now slide that neural
network across the whole image, as a result, we will get another image with different widths,
heights, and depths. Instead of just R, G, and B channels now we have more channels but lesser
width and height. This operation is called Convolution. If the patch size is the same as that of
the image it will be a regular neural network. Because of this small patch, we have fewer
weights.
Now let’s talk about a bit of mathematics that is involved in the whole convolution process.
8|Page
• Convolution layers consist of a set of learnable filters (or kernels) having small widths
and heights and the same depth as that of input volume (3 if the input layer is image
input).
• For example, if we have to run convolution on an image with dimensions 34x34x3. The
possible size of filters can be axax3, where ‘a’ can be anything like 3, 5, or 7 but smaller
as compared to the image dimension.
• During the forward pass, we slide each filter across the whole input volume step by step
where each step is called stride (which can have a value of 2, 3, or even 4 for
highdimensional images) and compute the dot product between the kernel weights and
patch from input volume.
• As we slide our filters we’ll get a 2-D output for each filter and we’ll stack them together
as a result, we’ll get output volume having a depth equal to the number of filters. The
network will learn all the filters.
• Input Layers:
It’s the layer in which we give input to our model. In CNN, Generally, the input will
be an image or a sequence of images. This layer holds the raw input of the image with
width 48, height 48, and depth 1.
• Convolutional Layers:
This is the layer, which is used to extract the feature from the input dataset. It applies
a set of learnable filters known as the kernels to the input images. The filters/kernels
are smaller matrices usually 2×2, 3×3, or 5×5 shape. it slides over the input image data
and computes the dot product between kernel weight and the corresponding input image
patch. The output of this layer is referred as feature maps. Suppose we use a total of 12
filters for this layer we’ll get an output volume of dimension 48 x 48 x 12.
9|Page
• Activation Layer:
By adding an activation function to the output of the preceding layer, activation layers
add nonlinearity to the network. it will apply an element-wise activation function to the
output of the convolution layer. Some common activation functions are RELU: max(0,
x), Tanh, Leaky RELU, etc. The volume remains unchanged hence output volume will
have dimensions 48 x 48 x 12.
• Pooling Layer:
This layer is periodically inserted in the covnets and its main function is to reduce the
size of volume which makes the computation fast reduces memory and also prevents
overfitting. Two common types of pooling layers are max pooling and average pooling.
If we use a max pool with 2 x 2 filters and stride 2, the resultant volume will be of
dimension 24x 24x 12.
• Flattening:
The resulting feature maps are flattened into a one-dimensional vector after the
convolution and pooling layers so they can be passed into a completely linked layer for
categorization or regression.
It takes the input from the previous layer and computes the final classification or
regression task.
• Output Layer:

The output from the fully connected layers is then fed into a logistic function for classification
tasks like sigmoid or softmax which converts the output of each class into the probability score
of each class.

FEATURES
3.1 Data Collection
The Emotion Detection system gathers various types of data, primarily focusing on images,
text, and audio as input sources for detecting emotions. For image data, facial recognition
techniques are applied, to identify sentiment, and audio data focuses on tone analysis. This
multi-modal approach ensures the system can detect a wide range of emotional expressions,
enhancing the system's overall capability in real-world applications.
Before the data is passed through the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), it undergoes
preprocessing to ensure uniformity and enhance feature extraction. For image data, steps such
as resizing, normalization, and augmentation are applied to improve the network’s ability to
detect subtle facial cues. Text data undergoes tokenization, stop-word removal, and
vectorization to represent it numerically for the model. Audio data is transformed into
spectrograms to extract critical features like frequency and pitch, which are important for
emotion detection.
CNN is the core technology used to learn and identify patterns in the preprocessed data. For
images, CNN detects key facial features such as the eyes, mouth, and eyebrows, which are
crucial for emotion recognition. For text and audio, the CNN learns the associations between
specific words, sentence structures, and tonal variations, respectively, to identify emotions like
happiness, sadness, or anger. This layer of deep learning allows the system to automatically
discover complex patterns without requiring manual feature extraction.
After feature extraction through CNN, the system classifies emotions into distinct categories.
Using the learned features, the model assigns a label to the input data, such as 'happy,' 'angry,'
'sad,' or 'neutral.' The classification layer uses softmax or other activation functions to output
probabilities that represent the likelihood of each emotion. This enables the system to not only
15 | P a g e
predict an emotion but also provide confidence levels for the prediction, ensuring accuracy and
reliability.
The system provides real-time feedback by continuously analyzing incoming data and
presenting updated emotion predictions. Users are immediately notified of detected emotions,
and alerts are displayed based on predefined thresholds, such as detecting a specific emotion
with high confidence. This proactive feedback helps users take appropriate actions in various
applications, such as customer service, mental health monitoring, or user engagement.

Problem:
Obtaining high-quality, labeled datasets that are diverse enough to cover different demographic
groups, emotional expressions, and environments is a significant challenge. Emotion data
might be limited or biased, affecting model performance.
Outcome:
By leveraging publicly available datasets (e.g., FER-2013, Kaggle), applying data
augmentation techniques (such as rotation, brightness adjustment, and flipping), and
integrating multi-modal data sources (e.g., audio or physiological signals), the model can be
trained to generalize better across various emotional expressions and demographic groups.
Problem:
Deep learning models, particularly CNNs, tend to overfit when trained on small or imbalanced
datasets, leading to poor generalization on unseen data.
Outcome:
Overfitting is addressed by employing regularization techniques like dropout, early stopping,
and using larger and more diverse datasets. The model shows improved generalization on new
datasets, even in cases where emotions are expressed differently or in noisy environments.
Problem:
For applications like virtual assistants or interactive systems, the need for real-time emotion
detection can lead to performance issues, as deep CNNs are computationally intensive.
Outcome:
19 | P a g e
Optimization techniques such as model pruning, quantization, and using hardware accelerators
(GPUs/TPUs) help in reducing inference time. The system achieves real-time performance with
minimal latency, making it suitable for interactive applications like live emotion tracking
during video calls or user engagement.
Problem:
Some emotions are ambiguous and may be misclassified. Additionally, certain emotions (e.g.,
fear or disgust) may be underrepresented in the dataset, leading to imbalanced performance
across different emotional categories.
Outcome:
Class imbalance is tackled through techniques like SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling
Technique) and class-weighted loss functions (e.g., focal loss). The system achieves more
balanced performance, ensuring that all emotions are detected with similar accuracy, even those
that are less common in the training data.
Problem:
Emotion expression varies significantly based on cultural, individual, and contextual factors.
This subjectivity can cause inconsistencies in detection, especially if the model has not been
trained on diverse data.
Outcome:
The system incorporates a diverse training dataset and applies transfer learning to adapt
pretrained models to domain-specific data. The model becomes more robust in detecting
emotions across various demographic groups, leading to higher accuracy and improved user
experience.
Problem:
20 | P a g e
Facial images or video frames often contain noise due to background clutter, occlusions, or
poor lighting, which can hinder accurate emotion detection.
Outcome:
Noise in input data is mitigated by using advanced image preprocessing techniques, such as
background subtraction, face detection, and contrast adjustments. The model becomes more
resilient to noisy or imperfect input, improving the overall detection accuracy in real-world
applications.
Problem:
CNNs are often seen as "black-box" models, making it challenging to explain why certain
predictions were made, which is critical for user trust and transparency.
Outcome:
To address this, techniques like Grad-CAM (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping) are
employed to provide visual explanations for model predictions. This helps in making the
model's decision-making process more transparent and interpretable, improving user trust and
enabling easier debugging and optimization.
Problem:
Emotion detection models trained on one modality (e.g., facial expressions) may not perform
well across other modalities like voice or text, as they require different feature extraction
techniques.
Outcome:
A multi-modal emotion detection system is developed that integrates information from facial
expressions, voice tones, and text. By using transfer learning and fusion techniques, the model
can handle diverse input sources and provide more accurate emotion predictions across
different data types.
