Method of Animal Emotion Estimation Based on Image

Abstract

Along with the increase in the feeding rate of the pets such as dogs and cats, the amount of time people spend together with their pets is increasing. Pets cannot show their emotions by language unlike, so we need to estimate pet’s emotions to spend comfortable times with them. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate cat’s emotion based on Action Unit defined for each part of cat’s face, which is extracted from cat images using deep learning.
