Quick Start

Installation

To use the tool, download its compiled binary from the repository and execute it from a console.

Important

The tool has been tested on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.

The Affdex SDK is only available on Windows and Ubuntu Xenial 16.04, so compatibility with other Operative Systems is not guaranteed.

From source with CMake

Clone and open the GitHub repository in a console, using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/espositoandrea/Bachelor-Thesis.git
cd Bachelor-Thesis

Open the directory containing the tool’s source code:

cd emotions

Finally, create and compile the CMakeProject:

mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" ..
make

Usage

Important

To use the tool you must have the Affdex SDK installed on your machine. Then, you have to add /path/to/affdex-sdk/lib to the variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Ubuntu).

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/affdex-sdk/lib/

The tool will then search, in its folder, for the folder lib/affdex-sdk/data/ (that has to contain the data used by Affdex).

The tool can be used through CLI (or executed by another script).

./emotions [<option>...] IMAGE...
./emotions [<option>...] --file FILE

Where IMAGE is a data URI. The available options are:

-h, --help
