Abstract

When interacting with robots we show a plethora of affective reactions typical of natural communications. Indeed, emotions are embedded on our communications and represent a predominant communication channel to convey relevant, high impact, information. In recent years more and more researchers have tried to exploit this channel for human robot (HRI) and human computer interactions (HCI). Two key abilities are needed for this purpose: the ability to display emotions and the ability to automatically recognize them. In this work we present our system for the computer based automatic recognition of emotions and the new results we obtained on a small dataset of quasi unconstrained emotional videos extracted from TV series and movies. The results are encouraging showing a recognition rate of about 74%.
