Content

Students will investigate the role and the future of the emotion recognition in the era of fully automated cars, along with the fundamental challenges, approaches and tools for maintaining the emotional awareness not only inside the cabin but also the environment around the car. Moreover, different scenarios and applications which are of interest will be examined and future research directions will be enlightened by the end of this seminar.


Workflow

In our first session on 26.04.2019 students will form their group (of two members) and we will discuss the available topics. Each group will get one topic according to their own preference. Groups will collect the necessary materials (state-of-the-art scientific works like scientific publications) within the context of their topic and will perform their research based on the collected resources in order to find a proper solution for the research question(s) in their topics.

For demonstrating the validity of their findings, each group will develop their findings and proposals into a "Multimodal Emotion Recognition System" which is already developed in our group on the SMART car simulator (and will be provided to them by the seminar organizer) and should be able to represent the results they have achieved live on the system.

Each group will be given 40 minutes on their specified date (are listed in below) to represent the results and afterwards will write and submit a scientific paper (IEEE template) with minimum 6 pages, explaining their findings and the main contribution of their work during seminar.
