StO2 Stress Detection Based on Fewer Wavelengths Through Linear Prediction Algorithm

Abstract

In recent years, tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology has been deeply studied in the field of affective computing. HSI StO2 is a kind of non-contact physiological signal, which can reveal people's potential emotions. However, at this stage, the number of bands to generate StO2 is too many to achieve real-time emotion detection. Therefore, based on the publicly available HSI stress database, we used a Linear Prediction (LP) algorithm to select only 8 characteristic bands from the original 106 bands to generate StO2 and performed the task of identifying psychological stress and physical stress. The experimental results showed that the recognition rate of StO2 generated based on the selected 8 bands in stress detection is very close to (even higher) that of the original 106 bands, and reaches 84.44% when using the Bayes classifier.
