Abstract

Learner’s learning states can be revealed from their spontaneous expressions while learning. The ubiquitous laptop camera is capable to provide learner’s facial image sequences. The combination of ubiquitous image perception and image processing technology can effectively compensate for the lack of feedback from learners on learning content in intelligent education. Therefore, this paper presents an affective state analysis algorithm, HowsLearning, and establishes the expression dataset in the actual teaching scene. On this dataset, the classification algorithm is verified. Experiments show that accuracy tested on real-world collected data reaches an acceptable level.
