Research abstract
A critical drawback of existing automatic facial expression classification, gesture analysis, and emotional state recognition technology is the lack of integrated and complimentary measurement modalities to perform reliable cognitive and emotional state assessment in operational environment. The purpose of this SBIR is to develop a novel, integrated sensor that incorporates three sensing modalities for the human face and body. This unprecedented capability adds one more dimension, literally and figuratively, to state-of-the-art emotional state recognition technology. To the best of our knowledge, there is no research effort or commercial product available today that is able to achieve this capability, at any cost.
