ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an emotion recognition apparatus and method thereof which enables perception of a user's emotional state by monitoring one or more of his or her physiological signals. The emotion recognition apparatus comprises a feature analyzer adapted to analyze features of the physiological signals acquired from a user and generate feature values, a subtractor adapted to obtain differences between the feature values generated by the feature analyzer and feature values used as a standard to perceive an emotional state of the user, and an emotion classifier adapted to analyze the differences obtained by the subtractor and classify an emotion into a plurality of emotional categories so as to perceive an emotional category exhibiting the greatest intensity to be the emotional state of the user.
