INTRODUCTION

Pet facial emotion recognition, also known as pet facial expression analysis, resides at the convergence of computer vision and artificial intelligence, aiming to automatically identify and interpret the emotional states of animals based on their facial expressions. Recent strides in pet facial emotion classification have departed from traditional methods reliant on manual feature creation and machine learning algorithms. Instead, deep learning, particularly through neural networks, has revolutionized the field, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency. . Additionally, transfer learning, involving the adaptation and refinement of pretrained models like VGG, Res Net, Dense Net, and Mobile Net, leverages existing knowledge to push the boundaries of pet facial emotion classification. we explored the capabilities of three significant deep learning models—Dense Net, Mobile Net, and VGG16/VGG19in pet emotion recognition using a meticulously curated dataset of 2050 images depicting various pet facial expressions. The dataset, manually assembled to ensure a comprehensive representation of emotions in pets, was exclusively used for training and testing, with 20% allocated for testing purposes.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In the realm of pets' facial emotion detection using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the challenge resembles teaching a computer to grasp how animals feel through their facial expressions. Similar to our desire to understand when our pets are happy, sad, or excited, the computer must learn these emotions by analyzing pictures of their faces. The complexity lies in ensuring the computer can accurately interpret these expressions, as errors might impact our understanding and care for our pets. The primary objective is to enhance the computer's proficiency in recognizing emotions from pet faces, ensuring our beloved animals receive the care and attention they deserve.

EXISTING SOLUTION

As of my last update in January 2022, existing solutions for "Pet Facial Emotion Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks" primarily draw from established frameworks and models designed for facial emotion recognition in humans. Popular facial emotion recognition APIs such as Microsoft Azure Face API, Amazon Recognition, and Google Cloud Vision API have been extensively used for human faces but may require adaptation for pet faces Additionally, exploration of research papers and academic publications in computer vision and transfer learning could offer insights and methodologies for adapting existing solutions to the unique challenges of pet facial emotion recognition. It is essential to stay updated on recent developments in the field, check for new datasets or initiatives focused on pet-related tasks, and ensure ethical considerations are met when utilizing or adapting existing solutions for this project.


PROPOSED SOLUTION

In this project we are taking a data set which consists of 2050 images(pets images such as angry ,happy, sad etc.). By using convolutional neural networks(Mobilenet,Densenet,VGG16,VGG19).
After thorough training and testing on our dataset, Mobile Net emerged as the best accurate model among all the ones analyze Using this models it identifies the pets facial expression and gives us the output whether it is sad or happy or Angry or Other.
The dataset under examination in the field of Pet Facial Emotion Recognition using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) consists of 2050 photos that represent different emotion categories, including sadness, happiness, anger, and Other.

RESULT

In this project, we utilized Keras and TensorFlow. Frameworks for implementation. The model underwent rigorous training spanning 20 epochs. Among the models tested, Mobile Net emerged as the most accurate choice, offering robust recognition capabilities. The dataset consisted of five distinct emotional classes: Happy, Sad, Angry, Master Folder, and Other, meticulously labelled for precise analysis. This careful curation of emotional categories ensures the model's effectiveness in recognizing a diverse range of facial expressions.

USER INTERFACE

Creating an easy-to-use interface was a top priority when we developed our project, "Pet Facial Emotion Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks," to enable smooth engagement with the emotion recognition system. All pet owners need to do is send in a picture of their animal companion for examination; the algorithm will then instantly identify the expected emotion label—which might range from happiness to sadness, disgust, wrath, or surprise. Facial expression recognition becomes more accessible with this intuitive interface, creating opportunities for its integration into various applications. Our method seeks to make pet emotion identification broadly applicable and user-friendly, from improving gaming experiences to supporting healthcare diagnostics.


                




CONCLUSION 

As we come to the end of our Pet Facial Emotion Recognition using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) project, we can say that a combination of careful study, in-depth analysis, and cutting-edge technology has produced a reliable and efficient system designed to identify a variety of pet facial emotions. After a rigorous evaluation process, Mobile Net was determined to be the best option. It demonstrated remarkable accuracy in identifying emotions like happy, sadness, disgust, surprise, and anger, with an accuracy rate of 92.50%. This remarkable result outperformed other models, such as Dense Net, MobileNetV2, VGG16, and VGG19, demonstrating Mobile Net’s ability to effectively understand and interpret a range of pet Facial emotions.
