چکیده

Vision-based human affect analysis is an interesting and challenging problem, impacting important applications in many areas. In this paper, beyond facial expressions, we investigate affective body gesture analysis in video sequences, a relatively understudied problem. Spatial-temporal features are exploited for modeling of body gestures. Moreover, we present to fuse facial expression and body gesture at the feature level using Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). By establishing the relationship between the two modalities, CCA derives a semantic “affect” space. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches.

Darwin's evolutionary approach to organisms' emotional states attributes a prominent role to expressions of emotion in whole-body actions. Researchers in social psychology [1,2] and human development [3] have long emphasized the fact that emotional states are expressed through body movement, but cognitive neuroscientists have almost exclusively considered isolated facial expressions (for review...
