Abstract:In this study, we focus on emotion recognition for service robots in the living space based on Electrocardiogram (ECG). An emotional state is important information that allows a robot system to provide appropriate services in way that are more in tune with users' needs and preferences. Moreover, the users' emotional state can be feedbacks to evaluate user's level of satisfaction in the services. We apply a diagnosis method that uses both interbeat and within-beat features of ECG. The post hoc tests in Analysis… Show more
“…Table shows the classification rates for the normal power, normal entropy, spectral power and spectral entropy parameters obtained using the Hilbert transform and discrete Fourier transform on the IMFs. The classification was carried out in a subject‐independent way for all the 30 subjects, in contrast to the previous works, most of which were subject dependent (Wan‐Hui et al ., ; Maaoui and Pruski, ; Rattanyu et al ., ).…”

“…The accuracy obtained in this work is better than that of the works by previous researchers in classifying six classes of emotions (Maaoui and Pruski, ; Rattanyu et al ., ). In the work performed by Rattanyu et al ., using analysis of variance, the classification accuracy is 61% for classifying six emotional states.…”
Emotion recognition using physiological signals has gained momentum in the field of human computer–interaction. This work focuses on developing a user‐independent emotion recognition system that would classify five emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, surprise and disgust) and neutral state. The various stages such as design of emotion elicitation protocol, data acquisition, pre‐processing, feature extraction and classification are discussed. Emotional data were obtained from 30 undergraduate students by using emotional video clips. Power and entropy features were obtained in three ways – by decomposing and reconstructing the signal using empirical mode decomposition, by using a Hilbert–Huang transform and by applying a discrete Fourier transform to the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Statistical analysis using analysis of variance indicates significant differences among the six emotional states (p < 0.001). Classification results indicate that applying the discrete Fourier transform instead of the Hilbert transform to the IMFs provides comparatively better accuracy for all the six classes with an overall accuracy of 52%. Although the accuracy is less, it reveals the possibility of developing a system that could identify the six emotional states in a user‐independent manner using electrocardiogram signals. The accuracy of the system can be improved by investigating the power and entropy of the individual IMFs.

“…Many authors decided to apply their own emotion categories, usually as a subset or small modification of the classical ones, e.g. happy-sad-anger + neutral state [19] extended in [20] with fear, happy-sad-anger-pain [21] joysadness-anger-pleasure [22], or anger-sadness-fear-disgustjoy/amusement + neutral [23], also extended with the seventh one -affection [24], anger-sadness-fear-surprise-frustrationamusement [25], extended in [26] with disgust-other (they did not applied these two to reasoning), excited-bored-stressedrelaxed-happy [27]. The number of reported categorical emotions can be even greater like as many as eight+neutral in [28].…”
Wearables like smartwatches or wrist bands equipped with pervasive sensors enable us to monitor our physiological signals. In this study, we address the question whether they can help us to recognize our emotions in our everyday life for ubiquitous computing. Using the systematic literature review, we identified crucial research steps and discussed the main limitations and problems in the domain.
“…QRS complex, an activity of the ANS that is derived from ECG provides information of the myocardial conduction system and can be used to understand the emotions experienced by a person [13]. This research being in the infancy stages, the performance of the different systems developed to recognize human emotions varies from 37% to 100%, depending on factors such as the number of emotions, the number of subjects, type of processing and types of emotion elicitation [2,3,14,15]. Some of the works are done in a subject dependent way where the training and testing data belong to the same subject [4,15].…”
BackgroundIdentifying the emotional state is helpful in applications involving patients with autism and other intellectual disabilities; computer-based training, human computer interaction etc. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, being an activity of the autonomous nervous system (ANS), reflect the underlying true emotional state of a person. However, the performance of various methods developed so far lacks accuracy, and more robust methods need to be developed to identify the emotional pattern associated with ECG signals.MethodsEmotional ECG data was obtained from sixty participants by inducing the six basic emotional states (happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, surprise and neutral) using audio-visual stimuli. The non-linear feature ‘Hurst’ was computed using Rescaled Range Statistics (RRS) and Finite Variance Scaling (FVS) methods. New Hurst features were proposed by combining the existing RRS and FVS methods with Higher Order Statistics (HOS). The features were then classified using four classifiers – Bayesian Classifier, Regression Tree, K- nearest neighbor and Fuzzy K-nearest neighbor. Seventy percent of the features were used for training and thirty percent for testing the algorithm.ResultsAnalysis of Variance (ANOVA) conveyed that Hurst and the proposed features were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Hurst computed using RRS and FVS methods showed similar classification accuracy. The features obtained by combining FVS and HOS performed better with a maximum accuracy of 92.87% and 76.45% for classifying the six emotional states using random and subject independent validation respectively.ConclusionsThe results indicate that the combination of non-linear analysis and HOS tend to capture the finer emotional changes that can be seen in healthy ECG data. This work can be further fine tuned to develop a real time system.
