Evaluation of Temporary Arousal Level using Thrmogram Images

Abstract

We studied the method for objectively evaluating emotion through FST (Facial Skin Temperature), brings less stress and non-contact measurement. According to Russell, emotion can be complained by pleasant level and arousal level. Then, we tried to construct Arousal level estimate model using FST. We applied local fractal dimension analysis to the FST. We examined relation between the temperature distribution of a nose and α wave amplitude of EEG, reflect arousal level. As result, the local fractal dimension analysis of nasal temperature can be adapted for evaluating temporary arousal level.
