Understand facial-expression analysis limits

The catalog name is retained for continuity. Facial appearance does not reliably establish mood, intent, satisfaction or wellbeing. Any proposed experiment needs a narrowly defined observable task and must not drive decisions about individuals.

Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.
