PREREQUISITES FOR AFFECTIVE SIGNAL PROCESSING (ASP) - PART II

Last year, in van den Broek et al. (2009a), a start was made with defining prerequisites for affective signal processing (ASP). Four prerequisites were identified: validation (e.g., mapping of constructs on signals), triangulation, a physiology-driven approach, and contributions of the signal processing community. In parallel with this paper, in van den Broek et al. (2010) another set of two prerequisites is presented: integration of biosignals and physical characteristic. This paper continues this quest and defines two additional prerequisites: identification of users and theoretical specification. In addition, the second part of a review on the classification of emotions through ASP is presented; the first part can be found in van den Broek et al. (2009a).
