Emotional State Evaluation Based On The Human Body Position, Through Computer-Vision Methods
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The recognition of the users’ emotional states is a subject of interest concerning the human-computer interaction, as it conforms to the concept of natural interaction. The elimination of every constraint regarding the human-machine communication is one of the objectives of the nowadays research in the domain: the aim is that of making the machine invisible to the user. The body language, consisting in the body position and gestures, is one of the non-verbal, indirect means for emotion expression, besides the face expression and voice tonality. The computer-vision specific methods provide efficient, low cost techniques for emotional state recognition based on body position, respectively on human gestures, in the context of human-computer interaction. We study the problem of emotional state recognition based on body language, through computer-vision techniques. First, the nowadays knowledge in the domain is studied, and then the proposed solution is applied, consisting in image skeletonization and supervised classification.
