z Hints for better capturing of smiles
1 Do not cover the eyes with the bangs.
2 Try to orient the face in front of the camera and be as level as
possible. The detection rate is higher when the eyes are
narrowed.
3 Give a clear smile with an open mouth. The smile is easier to
detect when the teeth are showing.
