Editorial: Computer vision and human behaviour to recognize emotions

Abstract

Computer vision is the interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers can gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. From the perspective of engineering, it seeks to automate tasks that the human visual system can perform. Additionally, integrating insights from general psychology and computer vision can enhance our understanding of human behavior and the mental processes underlying emotions and future actions (Wiley and Lucas, 2018; Patel and Patel, 2020). The present Research Topic aimed to discovery and argued computer vision solutions suitable for recognizing and managing emotions, considering the latest research contributions in the multidisciplinary field of engineering, neuroscience and behavioral psychology applied to the field of computer vision.
