Microsoft has an app that tells you if you appear happy or not

You insert your photo and demo tells you if you appear happy or not.

Although it does not offer similar photo storage service to the Google Photos app or Facebook Moments, Microsoft is also working on image analysis and facial recognition technologies.

Earlier this year, it had already launched a small website that tries to guess the age of the people in the photos, and then another that compares two people.

And this time, it is a service which, thanks to artificial intelligence, tries to guess the mood of the people present on the photos.

To test, simply go on www.projectoxford.ai/demo/Emotion#detection and submit a picture.

These demonstrations often fun surfers. But the idea behind them is above all to show what programming interfaces (APIs) and Microsoft tools that are part of his project are capable Oxford. As explained by the Redmond company, the Oxford project is a portfolio of APIs and SDK that allows developers to add intelligent services to their solutions. For example, one can easily imagine how a developer could build an application that uses Microsoft APIs Emotions to organize photos according to the moods that are detected on the faces.

In addition to these Emotions APIs, Microsoft also provides via the Oxford Project facial recognition APIs, a technology that returns information about the images and generates thumbnails, recognition tools and voice synthesis, or tools for written language.
