1. A computer-implemented method for mental state analysis comprising:
- collecting mental state data of an individual on an intermittent basis wherein the mental state data includes facial image data and the facial image data is collected intermittently across a plurality of devices;
imputing additional mental state data where the mental state data is missing, wherein the imputing is based on mental state data collected from other individuals associated with the individual;
interpolating, using one or more processors, mental state data in between the collecting which is intermittent;
obtaining analysis of the mental state data on the individual, wherein the analysis of the mental state data is received from a web service and includes analyzing the facial image data; and
rendering an output based on the analysis of the mental state data.

Abstract
An individual can exhibit one or more mental states when reacting to a stimulus. A camera or other monitoring device can be used to collect, on an intermittent basis, mental state data including facial data. The mental state data can be interpolated between the intermittent collecting. The facial data can be obtained from a series of images of the individual where the images are captured intermittently. A second face can be identified, and the first face and the second face can be tracked.

26. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for mental state analysis, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:
-
collecting mental state data of an individual on an intermittent basis wherein the mental state data includes facial image data and the facial image data is collected intermittently across a plurality of devices; imputing additional mental state data where the mental state data is missing, wherein the imputing is based on mental state data collected from other individuals associated with the individual; interpolating mental state data in between the collecting which is intermittent; obtaining analysis of the mental state data on the individual, wherein the analysis of the mental state data is received from a web service and includes analyzing the facial image data; and rendering an output based on the analysis of the mental state data.

27. A system for mental state analysis comprising:
-
a memory for storing instructions; one or more processors attached to the memory wherein the one or more processors are configured to; collect mental state data of an individual on an intermittent basis wherein the mental state data includes facial image data and the facial image data is collected intermittently across a plurality of devices; impute additional mental state data where the mental state data is missing, wherein the additional mental state data is based on mental state data collected from other individuals associated with the individual; interpolate mental state data in between the collecting which is intermittent; obtain analysis of the mental state data on the individual, wherein the analysis of the mental state data is received from a web service and includes analyzing the facial image data; and render an output based on the analysis of the mental state data.
