App overview
Emotion scoring
What we measure: For each video call or video streaming application, we recognize and process the overall emotion score of each video call participant or person displayed in a video based on analyzing their facial expressions. Facial expressions correspond with seven discrete emotions, as follows:
- Positive emotions include happy and surprised
- Neither positive or negative emotion is neutral
- Negative emotions include afraid, angry, contempt, disgusted, and sad
How we measure: Emotion scores are calculated on a weighted moving average for each participant based on the previous five seconds, using a 10-point scale, where a score of “0” represents completely negative sentiment and “10” represents completely positive sentiment.
Emotion score for each individual: The overall emotion score is displayed in a colored circle in close proximity to each person displayed on the screen, in accordance with the scale:
- Green (Positive emotion) Score value: 7.5 – 10
- Yellow (Neutral emotion) Score value: 2.6 – 7.4
- Red (Negative emotion) Score value: 0 – 2.5
As the meeting progresses, you may note that the figures can change without necessarily corresponding to an immediate change in the individual’s expression. This is because more recent data points (compared with the base emotion score registered at the outset of a call) are assigned a higher weight.
Average emotion score for all individuals: An average emotion score for all participants displayed on the screen is shown in the upper left corner of the screen. This score is utilized for in-app notifications and guidance regarding overall group emotion.
Note about switching between video applications while the Elevate app is running: The app scores the emotions of individuals currently displayed in the active screen. If, for example, you were to switch from a Zoom call to watching people in a YouTube video, with YouTube displayed as the active window, the app would switch to scoring the individuals displayed in the YouTube video, even if the Zoom call was still in progress or the Zoom call’s window was minimized.
Image analysis: Our emotion recognition is agnostic to each individual, regardless of age, gender, or skin color. However, if you encounter issues, we would appreciate hearing from you so we may improve our recognition. Email us at support@get-elevate.com.
Limitations
Full screen mode: Supports up to 8 video call participants concurrently displayed on the screen.
Partial screen mode: Each participant’s image must be at least 150×150 pixels for the individual’s emotions to be recognized. Recognition may not be reliable or possible with images of lesser pixel resolution.
Emotion scoring accuracy will decline or become impractical under the following conditions:
- Participants face away from the camera
- Lighting is either excessively dark or bright
- Video images are affected by buffering, latency or freezing due to Internet bandwidth issues
- Participants substitute their face with an avatar
- Participants partially obscure their face
- In the current version, additional faces in background images or still image avatars will be detected as participants. Future versions will be able to automatically disregard these static images.
Your data
We do not receive any raw facial image data from your use of the Elevate app. All facial images used for recognizing emotions are stored on your own computer, along with details of each session the Elevate app was used.
We receive session details only. Facial images remain on your computer.
