Abstract:
Negative emotions (anxiety, fear, anger, and grief) may affect physical health and the quality of life. Indeed, people with depression experience severe and prolonged feelings of negative emotions like sadness, anger, disgust and fear. On one hand, this paper presents a new method for the fusion of signals for the purpose of a multimodal recognition of eight basic emotions, on the other hand, it present a classification of these basic emotions in three emotional classes, namely, neutral, positive and negative emotions which are using physiological signals. After constructing an emotion data base during the learning phase, we apply the recognition algorithm on each modality separately. Then, we merge all these decisions separately by applying a decision fusion approach to improve recognition rate. The experiments show that the proposed method allows high accuracy emotion recognition. Indeed, we get a recognition rate of 81.69% under some conditions.
