Ontological Descriptions on Color Attributes and Emotional States for Kansei Interaction

Abstract

The color research has much interest in exploring an emotional response to a color stimulus, which is referred to as color emotions. In general, knowledge on color emotions is represented as statistical models, and be implemented in computer-based systems such as a communication agent. In this paper, we ontologically specifed basic concepts of perceptual quantities, color space and statistical models. We then discuss how our ontology can improve interaction between human and computer based on communication strategy which is proposed in Human-Robot Interaction.
