Image analysis for facial evaluation is performed using logic encoded in a semiconductor processor. The semiconductor chip analyzes video images that are captured using one or more cameras and evaluates the videos to identify one or more persons in the videos. When a person is identified, the semiconductor chip locates the face of the evaluated person in the video. Facial regions of interest are extracted and differences in the regions of interest in the face are identified. The semiconductor chip uses classifiers to map facial regions for emotional response content and evaluate the emotional response content to produce an emotion score. The classifiers provide gender, age, or ethnicity with an associated probability. Localization logic within the chip is used to localize a second face when one is evaluated in the video. The one or more faces are tracked, and identifiers for the faces are provided.
