In our everyday lives and social interactions we often try to perceive
the emotional states of people. There has been a lot of research in
providing machines with a similar capacity of recognizing emotions. From
a computer vision perspective, most of the previous efforts have been
focusing in analyzing the facial expressions and, in some cases, also
the body pose. Some of these methods work remarkably well in specific
settings. However, their performance is limited in natural,
unconstrained environments. Psychological studies show that the scene
context, in addition to facial expression and body pose, contributes
important information to our perception of people's emotions. However,
the processing of the context for automatic emotion recognition has not
been explored in depth, partly due to the lack of proper data. In this
paper we present EMOTIC, a dataset of images of people in natural and
different situations annotated with their apparent emotion. The EMOTIC
database combines two different types of emotion representation: (1) a
set of 26 discrete categories, and (2) the continuous dimensions
Valence, Arousal, and Dominance. We also present a detailed statistical
and algorithmic analysis of the dataset along with annotators' agreement
analysis. Using the EMOTIC database we train different CNN models for
emotion recognition, combining the information of the person bounding
box with the information present in the scene context. Our results show
how scene context contributes important information to automatically
recognize emotional states and motivate further research in this
direction.
