Emotion Based Music Player - XBeats

Abstract

This paper showcases the development of an Android platform based application named XBeats which acts as a Music Player working on Image Processing fundamentals to capture, analyze and present music as per the emotion or mood of the user using this application. The Android application was developed using the Android SDK software and OpenCV software was used to implement facial recognition algorithms and cascades. The unique aspect of this project is that it focuses on facial recognition on the Android platform unlike that on Computer systems which use commonly available softwares for the same. This paper also provides comparison between use of various classification algorithms used for facial detection
