Emotion Portrait

Emotion Portrait is a project that blends human emotion with technical artistry. Using DeepFace for facial recognition and emotion analysis, I process images by cropping and resizing faces with OpenCV, then merge the results into a comprehensive CSV with Pandas. A Flask backend and dynamic Jinja2 templates power a responsive grid, where clicking a cropped image reveals the full, original portrait alongside its metadata. This project is a personal exploration of emotional expression, connection, and a showcase of my technical skillset.
