Abstract : Major advances in image animation and emotion recognition have resulted from the quick development of deep learning and artificial intelligence. This study offers a fresh method for combining deep learning algorithms with an image animator to recognize the intensity of an emotion. We investigate how to improve facial animation and categorize emotions with different intensities using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). By producing lifelike facial expressions based on identified emotions, our approach seeks to enhance human-computer interaction. The performance of the suggested model is also assessed in the study using a variety of experiments and practical applications. We offer a thorough analysis of the effects of deep learning methods on emotion recognition, with an emphasis on the possible uses in virtual reality, healthcare, entertainment, and human-computer interaction. This study also looks at the moral ramifications of AI-powered facial recognition and animation technologies and suggests ways to protect privacy and use AI responsibly. We evaluate different training and testing datasets and emphasize the efficacy of various deep learning models through a thorough performance review.

Keywords : CNNs, GANs, Deep Learning, Image Animation, Emotion Recognition, AI-driven Interaction, Ethical AI, Responsible AI, Virtual Assistants, and GAN-based Animation.
