Multimodal Emotion Recognition for Human-Computer Interaction: A Survey

Today, the computer and its applications has invaded our daily life, Ubiquitous Computing. The interaction between the users and computing devices is becoming similar to human-human interactions. The integration of emotion recognition in Human-Computer Interaction aims at making the interaction easier and smarter, natural interaction. This paper, presents a brief survey on current state of the multimodal emotion recognition in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. We explain Emotion recognition as a research trend, its application in Human-Computer Interaction, its challenges and opportunities. The Human-Computer Interaction and Information Fusion Researches are also presented, and conclude with a proposition of steps to design a multimodal emotion recognition analyzer.
