Improved Face Modeling
FaceReader 9 further improved face finding and face modeling techniques, based on Deep Learning technology. These new techniques increase FaceReader’s processing speed, making it much faster to work with. It also improves accuracy. FaceReader 9 can model faces even in difficult poses or lighting.
In FaceReader 9.1, the modeling is even more precise. The internal parts of the face are tracked much better, leading to better fits. This includes improved modeling of the mouth, the eyes, and the eyebrows. This is especially beneficial for talk-aloud protocols, which are used in usability testing and psychology research.
Enhanced Project Analysis
Opening the improved Project Analysis Module immediately shows you an overview with the preselected layout or one of the other layouts of your choice. You can design your own dashboard with tables or graphs, and easily compare responses between groups of participants. Moreover, FaceReader 9.1 offers improved data selection and visualization.
With the improved Project Analysis Module, you are guided through your selection of charts, tables, and responses to stimuli. The Project Analysis Module includes Action Units, heart rate, and custom expressions, and can also be used with Baby FaceReader.
Custom expressions
Since the introduction of Custom Expressions as a part of the Action Unit Module, we have been working on adding new algorithms. FaceReader 9 already offered more custom expressions, including Attention, Boredom, Confusion, Interest, Smiling, Laughing, and Leaning Backward/Forward. New in FaceReader 9.1 are Spontaneous Laughter and Talking.
Since FaceReader 9, Custom Expressions come with these 5 Action Units: Blink (AU45), Head Turn Left (AU51), Head Turn Right (AU52), Head Up (AU53), and Head Down (AU54). Is the expression you are interested in not included? You can design your own custom expressions, or adapt our examples to fit your research need.
