Research Abstract

This research estimates human emotions by using facial expression (visible information) and a facial temperature picture (invisible information). For this goal, we created the database of facial expression image and corresponding facial temperature image in the basic human emotion classes. Then, we have developed an estimation of human emotion method which takes facial image, facial temperature image and combined both of them. As a result of evaluating the characteristics of our method, the accuracy of estimation is about 70% when only either was used. Furthermore, the accuracy improved about ten point by combining a both of them. By the consideration of experimental results, our approach is able to obtain the new possibility of estimation for feeling intensity and complicated feeling classes of human emotion.
