Abstract
In simple cases, affective computing is a computational device recognizing and acting upon the emotions of its user or having (or simulating having) emotions of its own in complex cases. Multimodal technology is currently one of the hottest focuses in affective computing research. However, the lack of a large-scale multimodal database limits the research to some respective and scattered fields, such as affective recognition by video or by audio. This paper describes the development and implementation of an XML-based multimodal affective annotation system which is called MAAS (Multimodal Affective Annotation System). MAAS contains a hierarchical affective annotation model based on the 3-dimensional affect space derived from Mehrabian’s PAD temperament scale. The final annotation file is formed in XML format in order to interchange the resources with other research groups conveniently.
