Abstract
Methods and systems for videoconferencing include generating work quality metrics based on emotion recognition of an individual such as a call center agent. The work quality metrics allow for workforce optimization. One example method includes the steps of receiving a video including a sequence of images, detecting an individual in one or more of the images, locating feature reference points of the individual, aligning a virtual face mesh to the individual in one or more of the images based at least in part on the feature reference points, dynamically determining over the sequence of images at least one deformation of the virtual face mesh, determining that the at least one deformation refers to at least one facial emotion selected from a plurality of reference facial emotions, and generating quality metrics including at least one work quality parameter associated with the individual based on the at least one facial emotion.
