Automatically Computing Emotions Aroused From Images Through Shape Modeling

US Patent:
2014004, Feb 20, 2014
Filed:
Aug 9, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/963039
Inventors:
Xin Lu - State College PA, US
Poonam Suryanarayan - San Francisco CA, US
Jia Li - State College PA, US
Michelle Newman - State College PA, US
Assignee:
THE PENN STATE RESEARCH FOUNDATION - University Park PA
International Classification:

US Classification:
345441
Abstract:
Shape features in natural images influence emotions aroused in human beings. An in-depth statistical analysis helps to understand the relationship between shapes and emotions. Through experimental results on the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) dataset, evidence is presented as to the significance of roundness-angularity and simplicity-complexity on predicting emotional content in images. Shape features are combined with other state-of-the-art features to show a gain in prediction and classification accuracy. Emotions are modeled from a dimensional perspective in order to predict valence and arousal ratings, which have advantages over modeling the traditional discrete emotional categories. Images are distinguished vis-a-vis strong emotional content from emotionally neutral images with high accuracy.
