Face Tracking (FT) / Face Reading is used when referring to all information technologies used for the identification and analysis of emotions using static and dynamic images of human facial expressions. It includes a set of information technologies from the area referred to as “affective computing”, which deals with hardware and software for the automatic recognition of human emotional expressions through computer detection and analysis techniques.
