Affection sensing in gait using intelligent shoe system

The human behavior, such as gait, is controlled by the brain and other peripheral neural system, and thus is significantly affected by the internal emotion. It is important to carry out the affective sensation of abnormal internal emotion in a non-invasive and non-privacy-infringed way. This paper presents an experiment method and platform to sense the abnormal affective status through gaits. We used a wearable intelligent shoe system for affective sensing, designed an experiment for the human subject to have the normal gait and the gait with emotional disorder, and finally classified the gaits through machine learning.
