Assessing Animal Emotion and Behavior Using Mobile Sensors and Affective Computing

Affective computing is a very active and young field. It is driven by several promising areas that could benefit from affective intelligence such as virtual reality, smart surveillance, perceptual interfaces, and health. This chapter suggests new design for the detection of animal affect and emotion under an affective computing framework via mobile sensors and machine learning. The authors review existing literature and suggest new use cases by conceptual reevaluation of existing work done in affective computing and animal sensors.
