Abstract

To address the problems of inability to capture the impact of environmental factors and interaction with surrounding individuals on emotion recognition in vision-based affective computing, limitations of describing emotions with a single category, and inability to predict future emotions, this paper proposed a visual emotion recognition and prediction method integrating background context features. This method consisted of an emotion recognition model that integrated background context features(Context-ER) and an emotion prediction model based on GRU and continuous emotion dimensions of Valence-Arousal(GRU mapVA). Context-ER combined facial expressions, body posture, and background context(environment, interaction behavior with surrounding people) features to perform multi-label classification for 26 discrete emotion categories and regression for 3 continuous emotion dimensions. GRU mapVA projected the predicted values of Valence-Arousal onto the improved ValenceArousal model based on the proposed mapping rules, making the differences between sentiment prediction classes more pronounced. Context-ER was tested on the Emotic dataset, and the results show an average precision improvement of over 4% compared to the state-of-the-art methods. GRU-mapVA was tested on three video samples, and the results demonstrate a signi-ficant improvement in emotion prediction compared to existing methods.
