Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have witnessed significant advancements in sensing technologies for human emotions, which primarily rely on analyzing facial expressions, voice, body language, and physiological signals to accurately recognize and understand human emotional states. These technologies will provide more intelligent and personalized solutions for fields such as human–computer interaction, healthcare, education, customer service, etc.
This Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles focusing on recent progress, technologies, approaches, applications, and new obstacles in the field of human emotion and facial expression recognition.
