Mood Based Music Player - An Android Application

The human face is a very important feature of an individual's body and it plays a vital role in the extraction of the person's behavior and emotional state. Another majorly used mode of relaxation and entertainment is music. Manually segregating the list of songs and generating a playlist especially based on the current mood can be a very tedious, time consuming, labor-intensive and upheld task. Various algorithms have been proposed and developed for automating the playlist generation process. However, the existing systems are extremely slow and require additional hardware like EEG or additional sensors. The system will be able to detect mood based on facial expression and automatically segregate the music according to the mood detected. This reduces the tedious and time-consuming task of manually segregating the music. This proposed system tends to reduce the overall cost of designing the system, with little or no additional requirements. Facial expressions will be captured using an inbuilt camera. As soon as the user captures the image the system will process the relevant mood and regarding this mood, the playlist will be generated.
