Abstract

Analysis for convolutional processing is performed using logic encoded in a semiconductor processor. The semiconductor chip evaluates pixels within an image of a person in a vehicle, where the analysis identifies a facial portion of the person. The facial portion of the person can include facial landmarks or regions. The semiconductor chip identifies one or more facial expressions based on the facial portion. The facial expressions can include a smile, frown, smirk, or grimace. The semiconductor chip classifies the one or more facial expressions for cognitive response content. The semiconductor chip evaluates the cognitive response content to produce cognitive state information for the person. The semiconductor chip enables manipulation of the vehicle based on communication of the cognitive state information to a component of the vehicle.
