An intelligent monitoring system based on emotional model in sensor networks

This paper proposes an intelligent monitoring system based on emotional model in sensor networks. Emotional models are very useful to understand human behaviors. First, we explain the recent works on emotional models, and discuss the applicability of emotional models to real world problems. Next, we propose an emotional model composed of emotion, feeling, and mood. These three components are coupling, but their time scales are different. Next, we explain perceptual system based on image processing and the monitoring system based on the proposed emotional model. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method through several experimental results.
