Prediction of Affective States through Non-invasive Thermal Camera and EMG Recordings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose utilization of thermal camera recordings along with simultaneous EMG recordings to monitor the dynamically changing affective state of a human. Affective state is depicted along the valence and arousal dimensions, such that readings from EMG are mapped onto the valence axis and readings from the thermal camera are mapped onto the arousal axis. The combined system increases the accuracy in prediction of affective states due to a larger palette of extracted features.

New Optimal Observer Design Based on State Prediction for a Class of Non-linear Systems Through Approximation
This paper deals with the optimal state observer of non-linear systems based on a new strategy. Despite the development of state prediction in linear systems, state prediction for non-linear systems is still challenging. In this paper, to obtain a future estimation of the system states, initially Taylor series expansion of states in their receding horizons was achieved to any specified order an...
متن کاملEvaluation of Thermal Imaging in the Diagnosis and Classification of Varicocele
Introduction: A varicocele is the abnormal dilation and tortuosity of venous plexus above the testicles. The pattern of abnormal heat distribution in the scrotum can be detected through thermal imaging, which is a distant, non-contact, and non-invasive method. The aim of the present study is to detect and grade varicocele. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients with high...

Background and aims Recordings of electrical activity in the muscle and surface electromyography (EMG) have been widely used in the field of applied physiology. In parallel to recording of the EMG, the detectable low-frequency vibration signal generated by the skeletal muscle has been known and well documented. As the nature of the signal has been progressively revealed, the term of mec...

متن کاملRespiratory Rate Measurement in Children Using a Thermal Imaging Camera
Respiratory rate is a vital physiological measurement used in the immediate assessment of unwell children. Convenient electronic devices exist for measurement of pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and temperature. Although devices which measure respiratory rate exist, none has entered everyday clinical practice. An accurate device which has no physical contact with the child is important ...
