Abstract:
Recognition of emotional semantics in images is a new and very challenging research direction that gains more and more attention in the research community. As an emerging topic, publications remains relatively rare and numerous issues need to be addressed. In this paper, we propose to investigate the efficiency of different types of features including low-level features and proposed semantic features for classification of emotional semantics in images. Moreover, we propose a new approach that combines different classifiers
based on Dempster-Shafer’s theory of evidence, which has the ability to handle ambiguous and uncertain knowledge such as the properties of emotions. Experiments driven on the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) image databases, which is a common stimulus set frequently used in emotion psychology research, demonstrated that the proposed approach can achieve promising results.
