Analysis Visualization Window

To Access This Option

Click one of the Select Window buttons, select Face Analysis and then Analysis Visualization.

Analysis Visualization

The Analysis Visualization window shows how FaceReader analyzes your images. Click the icons on the left of this window to select one or more of the options.

In previous versions of FaceReader it was possible to view the texture model, the model constructed by the face modeling algorithm. In FaceReader 10 this option is no longer available.

Show Image

Shows the face in the video or camera image. You may want to hide the face for privacy reasons.

Show Framing

Draws a white box around the face at the location where the face was found.

Show Mesh

Shows the positions of the 468 key points used by the face modeling algorithm. The axes on the nose indicate the head orientation.

Show Global Gaze Direction

Shows the gaze direction of both eyes. The button Show Global Gaze Direction is not available when in the Analysis Settings under Optional Classifications, Gaze tracking is deselected.

Show Facial States

Shows the Facial States: whether the left and right eye is open or closed, whether the mouth is open or closed and whether the eyebrows are raised, neutral or lowered.

Zoom On Face

Zooms in on the face (if the face can be modeled). The model quality does not change when you zoom in on the face.

Analysis Visualization Notes

After the analysis, you can play back the visualizations together with the video.

If you have The Action Unit Module, you can also display Action Units in the Analysis Visualization window. You can see what Action Units are active in the face and how active they are (Trace activation, Slight, Pronounced, Severe or Max). This option is available if you selected Action Units in the Settings (Settings -> Analysis Options -> Optional Classifications).
